ASSASSIN'S CREED VALHALLA

ASSASSIN’S CREED VALHALLA

Release Date: UNKNOWN

PLATFORMS: Xbox 1 and Scarlet/Ps4 and Ps5/Windows/Google Stadia

Since this is a very new and upcoming game we have little knowledge about it.

This upcoming video game like the other assassin’s creed series is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. This game is the next major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Set in The 9th century, the game recounts an alternative history to the Viking invasion of Britain. This time the gamer control a Viking character called Eivor, a Viking raider who becomes embroiled in the conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order. Like I said the game’s release date is unknown but it is scheduled to be released in late 2020. Assassin’s creed Valhalla has been in development for more than two and a half years by its announcement in April 2020.

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE GAME

As clan leader, Eivor will lead the clan from the war-ravaged Norway to the shores of England and beyond. Their arrival is met with resistance from King Alfred of Wessex and the Saxons, who will do everything in their power to drive you from the land. Eventually Eivor comes in contact with the Assassins during their journey, thus kicking off the age-old Assassin vs. Templar conflict the series is known for. Ubisoft is taking inspiration from Norse mythology much like the studio did with Egyptian and Greek mythology in Origins and Odyssey, respectively, and also like in brotherhood but it has not been confirmed yet.

GAMEPLAY

Well if you are an Assassin’s Creed gamer then you kinda know how it goes. Like Assassin's Creed Odyssey before it, Valhalla will continue the series jump into RPG territory. Players in Valhalla will be able to forge political alliances and choose dialogue options that will affect the story. A revamped combat system now allows players to dual-wield any combination of weapons (including two shields) against a "greater variety of enemies than ever before." Whether you want to brutally decapitate them with a war axe or stealthily kill them in the shadows with your hidden blade, the choice is yours. This is all about nailing that visceral feeling of being a Viking warrior. But as an Assassin, Stealth is clearly the game.

Valhalla comes with new features which include raids, settlement growing, and the ability to expand your power and influence.

 With raids, you can pillage enemy villages and fortresses across England for valuable resources. Settlement growing appears to be like what Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood offered with Monteriggioni and Rome, but greatly expanded with more depth. Players can construct and upgrade barracks, blacksmiths, tattoo parlors, and more (Meaning you can turn your character into God of War). In a first for the series, players can create customize a unique Viking raider and share it online with friends who can then use it during their own raids. Players will also be able to customize hair, tattoos, war paint and gear of their own character. Gear can be upgraded throughout the game so that a set of weapons or armor you begin the game with will still feel formidable as you progress.

Also instead of having a pet eagle, like in odyssey, a raven will be filling that role in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. After all, ravens are largely associated with the Norse god Odin. You also be traveling and fight on the sea like a Viking but don't expect to be fighting on the sea often.  Although Vikings are fearsome warriors, and many battles were won because of their skills as sailors, but they didn't partake in naval combat like you'd expect. The Viking ship will be a very crucial role in traversing the map and bringing your raiding party where it needs to go. So the game will have a little bit of Black Flag, Origins, Brotherhood, Unity, and Odyssey.
