Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Eivor genre selection video revealed


While we know that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will allow players to choose and switch between the genre of the Eivor main character throughout the campaign, a new video has shown how that process will work. As @AccessTheAnimus discovered, this video shows how Eivor’s genre selection is handled in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It is presented as a “DNA flow selection”, and players have the option to choose Male Eivor or Female Eivor “Memory Flow”.

It seems like this can be done at any point in history, it won’t restart the game or take you back to the main menu, and the player’s entire gear will remain intact.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla narrative director Darby McDevitt has previously confirmed that while he may choose Eivor’s genre throughout history, male and female versions of Eivor are considered canonical and that the “feature is backed by a new tradition that enhances Animus skills. “

This ability to change the gender of the main character in the game contrasts with that of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in which the players chosen at the beginning of the game, between playing as Alexios or Kassandra, were the ones who were trapped. Also, the linked official novel was written with Kassandra in the lead role, meaning she was the canonical version of the story.Speaking of the differences between the two games, both Alexios and Kassandra lived in the world, you simply choose to play as one, while in Valhalla, Eivor is the same regardless of the genre you choose. How you play them is your choice, and McDevitt promises that “it will reveal the nuances of his approach to the canon when we can finally play it at Holiday 2020.”

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia on November 17, 2020. It will also be a launch title for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, but the dates are not yet known.

We were able to implement Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and said, “It appears to be, as is the tradition of the series, an iterative update of its predecessors. If the new approach to RPG design and team-based progression has Leaving a On the side of the series, this part of the game indicates that you probably won’t be convinced by Valhalla’s barely altered direction. But the few changes he makes to those systems suggest that developer Ubisoft Montreal may have renewed confidence in his RPG skills, and a willingness to embrace more tools of the genre. “
