The Sigrblot Festival, on the other hand, is just an in-game event running from August 4th-25th where a few festival-exclusive rewards are up for grabs.

When Will Assassin's Creed Valhalla Support Stop?
AC Valhalla was released way back in 2020, and it has gotten a ton of extra content since. There's been three big DLC expansions (Wrath Of The Druids, Siege Of Paris, and Dawn Of Ragnarok), as well as a constant slew of limited-time in-game events like Sigrblot. But all things must come to an end, and it's good that Ubisoft knows that.

After the release of Dawn Of Ragnarok, Ubisoft has announced that players will get one last free DLC to close out the story of Eivor. Then, official support for the game will end at the end of 2022, as reported by PCGamesN. By the time the free DLC drops, it would've been roughly two years' worth of constant AC Valhalla updates.
Ubi basically tried the games-as-a-service route a-la Destiny with every new Assassin's Creed Valhalla update. Consider it as a sort of test-run before they finally launch Infinity, which is confirmed to be a live service platform that will feature "multiple time periods." It is not known how exactly the platform will work, but its release is still years away - around 2024 at least, according to several sources.
