Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an upcoming
action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by
Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in
the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to the 2018 game Assassin's Creed
Odyssey. Set in 873 AD, the game recounts an alternative history to the Viking
invasion of Britain. The player controls Eivor, a Viking raider who becomes
embroiled in the conflict between the Brotherhood of Britain and the Assassin’s
Order.
The game is scheduled to be released in
late 2020 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Stadia. It will
also be Ubisoft's launch title for the ninth generation of gaming consoles, the
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Gameplay
Assassin's Creed
Valhalla is an open world action-adventure game, structured around several main
story quests and numerous optional side missions. The player takes on the role
of Eivor, a Viking raider as they lead their fellow Vikings against the
Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The player will have the choice of playing Eivor as
either male or female and is able to customise Eivor's hair, warpaint,
clothing, armor, and tattoos.
The variety of weapons available to the
player has been expanded to include weapons such as flails and greatswords.
Combat has been changed to allow dual wielding of almost any weapon, including
shields.
