[Update: Jan. 06] Assassin's Creed Valhalla Yule Festival not loading or appearing bug acknowledged

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on December 18, 2021) follows:

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the latest installment in the hit series, is in the middle of the ‘Yule Festival‘, the game’s second annual event.

The Yule Festival comes as a free update and adds new content in the form of missions and items, so that players can continue to expand their experience.

But, it seems that the event is not working properly. According to multiple reports, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Yule Festival is not loading or appearing for many (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

In addition to the above, for those players who can play the event, there are some bugs that affect the items available or acquired.

Many Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players are having trouble with the event. One of the reported bugs affects the availability of the items or weapons.

The Yule Festival should bring a nice set of new items. But, some players are finding practically the same items that they could already buy before the event arrives.

New yule festival

I logged in to do the usual festival only to find, I can’t not only do i find that its the same stuff as yesterday apart for some rubbish looking hairs I find it doesn’t work.

After the okay story dlc with kassandra how come they can’t get festivals to work? Are they too busy doing something else?

Even, for some, instead of appearing the items from the new festival, the ones from last year appear available.

But, those who can buy new sets or renewed versions of their sets have no better luck. Some report that, if they buy the new set, the current set will receive a downgrade.

Finally, other players report that the event is not even available on their game.

The Ubisoft support team confirmed that they are already aware of the reported issues with the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Yule Festival. Currently, is under investigation.

Hey there! Sorry to hear that the Yule Festival is not loading in your game. This is an issue that we are aware of and the team is investigating at this time. So that we can help look into this more, could you let us know your Ubisoft username, and what platform you use?

Therefore, it only remains to wait for new official announcements about an ETA for the fix. When that happens, we will update this article with the relevant information.

Assassin’s Creed developers now say that they’re working to resolve the issue preventing players from accessing the Yule Festival.

They add that they will be extending the event so everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the winter festivities. A fix is slated for January.

Ubisoft confirms that the issue where players are not getting the Yule festival will be resolved in the future update. Moreover, they also mentioned that loading an earlier save can help those affected gamers.

Hey Linus! We’re sorry you’re not seeing your Yule festival! Some players reported that loading an earlier save helped, but this is something that should be resolved in a future update. We’re so very sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime! (Source)

Assasin’s Creed on Twitter confirmed that they will release Title Update 1.4.1.2 on January 06 to resolve the issue which is blocking players from progressing in the Yule Festival.

We will be deploying Title Update 1.4.1.2 tomorrow, January 6th to resolve issues blocking players from progressing in the Yule Festival. Thank you for your patience!
Note that the festival will end on January 27th. (Source)
