Ubisoft finally revealed the first look at their next Assassin’s Creed installment – Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla yesterday, and now we have the official trailer with us. You can also check out newly revealed screenshots here.
The game has been developed by the team behind Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Origins, both of which pushed the series in new directions. Creative director Ashraf Ismail is returning, along with Darby McDevitt (lead writer for Black Flag and Revelations).
“We can’t wait for players to experience the incredible Viking journey ahead of them. Being in Eivor’s boots as both a Viking raider and a clan leader, players will face the conflicts of establishing a new home while in the midst of a power struggle for control of England,” said Ashraf Ismail, Creative Director of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
It was also revealed that players will be able to choose between male and female versions of Eivor, the new protagonist. This is quite similar to 2018’s Odyssey.
“Players will be able to choose to play as either a male or female Eivor, and will have access to customization tools including the ability to customize hair, tattoos, war paint and gear. Political alliances, combat decisions, and dialogue choices can influence the world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, so players must choose wisely to protect their clan’s home and future.”
Driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in ninth century AD, players will lead Eivor’s clan of Norsemen across the icy North Sea to the rich lands of England’s broken kingdoms. Players must carve out a new future for their clan, reliving the ruthless fighting style of Viking warriors with a revamped combat system that includes the ability to dual-wield weapons against a greater variety of enemies than ever before. To secure resources players can lead raids to select locations using their longship to earn much-needed riches and resources. As the Vikings begin to settle in their new home, they encounter resistance from the Saxons including King Aelfred of Wessex, who denounces them as heathens and looks to be the sole ruler of a civilized England. Against all odds, Eivor must do what is necessary to keep Valhalla within reach.
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, will release worldwide Holiday 2020 on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and for Windows PC exclusively on both the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store. The game will also be available on UPLAY+*, Ubisoft’s subscription service. You can pre-order the game here.
