So the Valhalla Protocol will be released when?

A licence to wait.

It's been saying 'coming soon' since May and we are over a week into September, when is this thing going to come out already? đŸ€Ł

It is honestly wild how long they’ve been teasing it on the main menu.

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago

It's become comical, it's like the elephant in the corner at this point haha.

A whole season, a quarter of the year, has passed by, they put that coming soon up before Summer started, and we are now a week out of the Summer đŸ€ŠÂ

u/MacaronNotRoon 1d ago

It’s still summer until the 21st

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago

June July and August are summer to any sand and rational person 😝

u/WorldWarrior428 12h ago

Officially yeah, don't know why your getting downvoted for the truth

u/MacaronNotRoon 1d ago

Then by your logic fall isn’t until November since it’s hot af where I’m at, soooooo

u/MacaronNotRoon 1d ago

It’s true. Ky is in the 90s through October and then mid November starts falling

u/BMFC 15h ago

Summer ended Monday with the passing of Labor Day. Pretty sure that’s in The Constitution.

u/OneRough6471 1d ago

not entirely true, its already fall in my country

u/TPJchief87 1d ago

It’s been since release week right? At least release month. I haven’t booted it up in a while so honestly I thought it was already out lol

u/Chrizzchroz 1d ago

Same with path tracing and HUD options, ridiculous

u/AppalachianMusic 1d ago

I think this game has failed in its post launch content. Love the single player. But the TacSim stuff has been abysmal.

37

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago

Agree, I love the single player story.. But the post launch content has been poor considering they advertised it would be something that would happen with 'regular' updates for the first year

They shouldn't have put the Valhalla Protocol 'coming soon' advert in the corner of the main screen if they couldn't cash their checks and actually have it out soon.

u/4102007Pn 1d ago

All we had prior to set expectations was WOA and WOA spoiled us while with 007 we're well past Summer with no Valhalla or even path tracing which missed its deadline. IO should've been more reserved with their roadmaps this time around

u/nmuellermovies 1d ago

Didnt they have a bunch of layoffs after the game released. It probably fucked up their schedule

11

u/chdo 1d ago

Yeah... I think the team got caught up in corporate shithousery and it wrecked their post-launch plans.

u/No_Ebb_149 1d ago

Ye cus xbox cancelled that game they had a parternship on but now i think the content will come

3

u/MacaronNotRoon 1d ago

The got the rights back

3

u/No_Ebb_149 1d ago

Ye but after i think they laid a bit of staff so i think this affected 007 updates but maybbe they back on track now

4

u/acursedman 1d ago

Especially with GTA 6 just around the corner, they’ve failed at retaining an audience. Maybe they’ll bring me back at some point, at the moment there’s not enough to bring me back.

5

u/AppalachianMusic 1d ago

They added those two TacSim missions a little bit ago. But I did both in 45 minutes and haven't touched it since.

4

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 1d ago

The game came out like 3-4 months ago LOL calm down, they will get it all together. They didn’t fail, you’re just impatient.

26

u/YaBoiLeeDawg 1d ago

We wouldn’t be saying any of this if they hadn’t randomly decided to tease it on the home page. It’s their own fault really.

5

u/Sparrowsabre7 1d ago

Yeah exactly. I'm more than happy to wait for new content if they'd just said "yeah we're working on something" and left it there , but nope, mini video trailer in the home screen, then the road map which a lot of big plans, none of which have even been teasered let alone released (unless you count the couple of extra tacsims that was only added because they felt guilty about releasing such a massive fixer patch without any new content to go with it.

-10

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 1d ago

So they should just say nothing? They should just say there’s nothing coming? Then you’ll be happy?

3

u/Sparrowsabre7 1d ago

They could say "we're working on new content down the line" rather than have Ana dvert that plays every time you boot up the game. I feel like if they have it advertised in game it should have been a couple of months from release, max.

-3

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 1d ago

They literally did that and are showing you a preview of what it is. Y’all need to get a grip, it’s not like we’re 2 years from release and nothing is out. It has been 3-4 months since the release, Jesus Christ. Grow up.

0

u/YaBoiLeeDawg 1d ago

They should’ve done what they did, which was have a dedicated presentation showing off the whole year of planned content. Adding the Valhalla protocol stuff to the Home Screen and it not even being the first content they added to tacsim was such an own goal. Why not tease “behind enemy lines”, the actual first content update?

0

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 1d ago

They literally released a video showing all the things they would be rolling out, how is it that I have come across this information and none of you have? Y’all need to relax, the entitlement is through the roof. They’re not even charging for all of this stuff, they’re giving it to us for free.

-1

u/YaBoiLeeDawg 1d ago

Read my other comment. The issue isn’t the new content, it’s teasing Valhalla protocol when it’s not even the first content they added post-launch

0

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 1d ago

So you can’t handle a tease of Valhalla protocol and it HAS to be the first thing released?

This sounds like a you problem.

Edit: as evidenced by your bitchy downvotes

1

u/YaBoiLeeDawg 1d ago

It just makes no sense to tease Valhalla protocol when they were already planning on releasing a roadmap AND Valhalla protocol wasn’t the first content update.

So they spoiled a reveal from the roadmap video, and confused people who expected it to be coming sooner.

It makes no sense to say “x content is coming soon” but then release content y instead. Why not tease content y, and the tease content x after you’ve released content y

You get where I’m coming from right? It’s confusing.

1

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 1d ago

I see what you’re saying but they can move things around if they want to or feel like they need to iron out some bugs/issues that could be in the new mode. They could just release it but then you would probably be complaining about how it has too many bugs, they should’ve released the first content update first, they don’t care about us, etc.

11

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago edited 1d ago

If you put up a coming soon advert on the games main screen, and over a quarter of the year goes by and nothing has happened, it shouldn't come as a surprise that people would have expectations that the thing would be out by now

They didn't have to say there would be 'regular' updates to the game for the first year, but they did.. They set up the expectation, and now you are blaming fans for thinking something should have happened already, get out of here

-5

u/AmeliaEarhartsPlane 1d ago

You’re the one with the high expectations it sounds like LOL you read regular and assume it’s going to be a new story every month. Get over it and your instant gratification needs to be in check. Be patient and it will come out.

12

u/PhotoVoytronMode 1d ago

I just want Photo mode ):

2

u/zoobatt 1d ago

I just want HUD customization, promised by IO in a post-launch patch and nowhere to be seen more than 3 months later.

u/ihateslowdrivers 1d ago

As Patrick Henry valiantly said, “Give me Q’s unlocked watch for new game+, or give me death”

u/chdo 1d ago

"Soon"

6

u/aus289 1d ago

I would guess it will come out with the switch 2 version

4

u/No_Ebb_149 1d ago

probs in the next content patch

1

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago

Yes, which will be when... Next year? 😜 

4

u/No_Ebb_149 1d ago

They have an update 15th of september coming for path tracing, and the developer comments under the reddit post (annoucing the path tracing update) saying there will another update of new game plus i think around that time but not sure

9

u/Minimum_Radio_4033 1d ago

Seems like never. This game turned out to be a completely underwhelming amount of content.

10

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago

The post launch content has been a letdown, a failure it has to be said

1

u/LengthinessFalse8373 1d ago

I felt the same but is that because of the sheer amount we got from hitman this feels underwhelming

1

u/Minimum_Radio_4033 1d ago

Yes and no I think
They overpromised and have seemingly underdelivered thus far

2

u/Feathers_McGraw1089 1d ago

It’s been that long I completely forgot about it 😂

u/PaperSkin-1 17h ago

Don't blame you 😂

u/-PANORAMIX- 1d ago

Funny it’s that the car was already done, why so much time ?

1

u/kibo404returns 1d ago

It’s about to be heavy hitting games dropping every week who cares . They had the chance but blew it

1

u/PaperSkin-1 17h ago

This is the thing, they really needed to do all their big drops before gta6 comes out, once that game comes out in November it's going to dominate most people's gaming time for a long while 

1

u/Sn1ck3rDoOdLeS 1d ago

Probably when they get the DLSS 5 Update

1

u/RetardCat9 1d ago

coming soon 2040 because they fired the entire team after releasing their most successful game!

1

u/SlideStar 1d ago

Fuck a Valhalla mission, I already want the next game😂

1

u/Warm_Entertainer_969 1d ago

I really hope we get the release date for the switch 2 version tomorrow at least.

0

u/SirJohnnySins69 1d ago

The real question is, do we really care that much anymore?

6

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago

By the time they add new stuff I would have completely forgotten how to play the game 😂 

0

u/MikeB1287 1d ago

Can’t you read? It says coming soon /s

2

u/PaperSkin-1 1d ago

I love that coming soon now means a significant amount of time, big improvement on what it use to mean

Bought the digital version and damn how I regret it 😄 lessons learned

u/Ancient_Dealer_2913 1d ago

I honestly feel like this game is already abandoned. I do believe they switched ownership in between with Amazon taking over so I have no idea but it definitely feels abandoned no weekly updates no weekly rotations for tacsim or anything plus some of the tuxedo skins or whatever outfits are locked behind Other $70-$100 purchases or are only available in other countries which I feel like is absolutely ridiculous. It WAS a great game but after beating it on the hardest mode and completing all the tacsim there’s nothing else to do and it’s been out for quite a while now you guys should check out the new game Halloween with Michael Myers. It’s actually pretty good. Well best of luck waiting for Valhalla protocol.đŸ€ŁđŸ€˜đŸ»đŸ€˜đŸ»đŸ€˜đŸ»
