Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Victorian London, the French Revolution – anyone who plays the “Assassin’s Creed” series moves around a lot. This time, time travel leads to the era of the Vikings.
Rumors and leaks that the last part of the series could lead us to the Nordic saga and Viking Age have been going on for weeks. Now Ubisoft has officially confirmed this. As suspected, the new branch of the assassin series is titled “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla”. The publisher’s live feed also featured a logo and artwork.
No further information yet, but the breakthrough preview will follow on April 30 at 5 p.m. and reveal more details. On closer inspection, the artwork already gives the first clues: the character is obviously a Viking fighting for the assassins. Because in his ax you can see the symbol of the credits. The quiver the protagonist uses suggests that he also fights with a bow and arrow in addition to the ax. Although the artwork lacks a warrior’s choice, it can be assumed that “Valhalla”, like “Odyssey” earlier, also offers an additional lead as a selection.
Northern men against English?
When it comes to the landscape, both Scandinavia, England and Ireland seem to play a role. On the one hand, because you recognize an Arctic Ocean, on the other hand, an English-style castle in the green. After the Nordic warriors fight knights in a work of art, the conflict between the English and the Vikings seems to determine the story. That would be historically accurate at least, because the Vikings invaded England in the 9th century. Even the long-standing theory that supernatural elements might flow in the game seems to be confirmed. The artwork shows Odin’s crow, which probably replaces Senu and Ikaros. Odin can’t be far, can he?
The game’s official title and logo were unveiled on April 29 at 10 p.m. Germany time. The artwork was previously completed by Australian artist BossLogic for approximately eight hours. Fans can follow in the footsteps of live work on YouTube and Switch. But even if you already know more: when the launch arrives, it stays open. The period from October 2020 to the end of March 2021 is assumed (Tsch)
