Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was officially announced by Ubisoft, the next Assassin Creed game – all about Vikings. Players, as leaders of a clan will face the Saxons when Norse warriors try to settle in England.
Here is everything we know about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla so far.
The exact day of release we don’t know so far, but we know that it’ll be in Holiday 2020.
Players can get ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA for Windows PC on two stores: Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store. On Steam (for now) Valhalla won’t launch, so players will need to buy game from Uplay and EG stores.
The players, as leaders of their clan of Vikings in order to search other rich lands are fleeing Norway and arrive in shores of England when land is divided into several Saxon kingdoms. It’s the period also known as the Heptarchy where England has seven kingdoms: Kent, Wessex, Sussex, Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia and Essex.
From the trailer we know that the villain is King Alfred of Wessex. That’s why it’s possible that the map in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be mostly based on England south coast, and maybe will be smaller version of England.
From the video interview below, you can find more details about the map.
The main protagonist in Valhala is Eivor. At the start of the game, players must choose male or female Eivor, which is different from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey where backstories depend on the choice between male (Alexios) and female (Kassanra).
in addition to raids in the game, there will be scale epic battles – says Ismail in developer’s commentary video. How combat will really feel it’s hard to say by watching a cinematic trailer, but there are some things we’ll see in the game, like heavily, very tall armored warriors of Saxons. But like Ismail said these warriors will have weak points, and we can see this in the trailer when Eivor stabs him through the knee.
Eivor’s confirmed abilities
Ubisoft said that the players will be able to construct buildings and upgrade them, including tattoo parlor, barracks, and other. In the trailer there are some of these tattoos.
Also, players will have possibilities to do different activities like fishing, hunting and more, which will be good for changing a pace.
