"Assassin's Creed Valhalla": All previous information
The artwork and title Valhalla have already confirmed that it is a Viking setting. But many questions remain unanswered. The trailer has now confirmed that the war between Vikings and England is becoming an issue. In addition to battles in which large hordes of warriors meet, there will also be seafaring and battles .
There is more information on the official website of Ubisoft. "Assassin's Creed Valhalla" therefore takes place in the 9th century. The players take on the role of Eivor , a Viking clan leader whose plan is to build a new home in the fragile kingdom of England.
Every decision that is made should have a lasting impact on the game world. It should be up to the players themselves whether they are looking for diplomatic solutions or are more likely to enforce their will by force . There should be various dialog options to choose from, all of which can change the trip.
But without raids it would not be a Viking life. The longships must be used to raid settlements and collect resources . Ubisoft promises more action-packed naval battles here than before. In addition, Valhalla is said to offer a brand new combat system. Eivor's weapons include axes , swords and shields . He can hold a weapon in each hand at the same time - even fighting with two shields should be possible. The hidden blade is also making a comeback.
Eivor can be female or male
As in "Assassin's Creed Odyssey", players can decide whether they want to play a female or male character - so Eivor can be a man or a woman.
Their own settlement is in Norway, but as resources become scarce, the Vikings have to build a new one in the hostile areas of England. For this purpose, buildings such as barracks , forges and tattoo parlors can be built. In addition, new members are to be recruited and the clan is to be gradually expanded.
As is typical of the series, ancient deities are likely to play a role again. The Norse mythology has this to offer enough stories. Furthermore, ravens seem to have a certain role - they represent the Nordic god Odin. The raven could possibly help the player to explore areas from the air - in the predecessors this was already possible with eagles.
The trailer shows an older man hiding his face under a hood. This is believed to be Eivor's Assassin Mentor .
