"Assassin's Creed Valhalla": Eivor is the name of the protagonist
Ubisoft recently featured the title of the game in a whopping eight-hour live stream. Viewers could see how the Australian artist Bosslogic used Photoshop to design the teaser image and gradually reveal the Viking setting .
Shortly thereafter, Ubisoft released a Cinematic Trailer , which does not provide direct insight into the gameplay, but it already shows a lot of what the players can expect. You can see the trailer in the article above.
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.
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.
As is typical for the series, ancient deities are likely to play a role in history again. Nordic mythology has enough stories to offer for this. Odin will probably play a bigger role . The trailer also shows an older man hiding his face under a hood. This may be Eivor's Assassin Mentor .
"Assassin's Creed Valhalla": The gameplay
Every decision that is made should have a lasting impact on the game world. It is up to the players to decide whether they are looking for diplomatic solutions or to enforce their will by force . There should be various dialog options to choose from, all of which can change the trip.

In addition to battles in which large hordes of warriors meet, there will also be seafaring and battles . Ubisoft promises more action-packed naval battles here than before. All of this should take place as usual in a large open game world.
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. There are also numerous other options for customization . Eivor can get different hairstyles, tattoos and of course equipment.
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. Your own village serves as a starting point, as players keep coming back there to start missions. That's why
The raven helps Eivor to explore the surroundings from the air - in the predecessors this was already possible with eagles.
"Assassin's Creed Valhalla" will be a pure single player game .
