Assassin's Creed Valhalla trailer premiere

Today, Ubisoft announced the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, will release worldwide, Holiday 2020 on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and for Windows PC exclusively on both the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store. The game will also be available on UPLAY+, Ubisoft’s subscription service.



Developed by the team behind Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed Origins at Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla invites players to live the saga of Eivor, a fierce Viking raider raised on tales of battle and glory. Offering a captivating Viking experience, the game brings players to a dynamic and beautiful open world set against the brutal backdrop of England’s Dark Ages. In this latest iteration, players can take advantage of new features including raids, growing their settlement, building their power and expanding their influence.

“We can’t wait for players to experience the incredible Viking journey ahead of them,” said Ashraf Ismail, Creative Director of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. “Being in Eivor’s boots as both a Viking raider and a clan leader, players will face the conflicts of establishing a new home while in the midst of a power struggle for control of England.”

Players will be able to choose to play as either a male or female Eivor, and will have access to customisation tools including the ability to customize hair, tattoos, war paint and gear. Political alliances, combat decisions, and dialogue choices can influence the world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, so players must choose wisely to protect their clan’s home and future.

Driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in the ninth century AD, players will lead Eivor’s clan of Norsemen across the icy North Sea to the rich lands of England’s broken kingdoms. Players must carve out a new future for their clan, reliving the ruthless fighting style of Viking warriors with a revamped combat system that includes the ability to dual-wield weapons against a greater variety of enemies than ever before. To secure resources players can lead raids to select locations using their longship to earn much-needed riches and resources. As the Vikings begin to settle in their new home, they encounter resistance from the Saxons including King Aelfred of Wessex, who denounces them as heathens and looks to be the sole ruler of a civilized England. Against all odds, Eivor must do what is necessary to keep Valhalla within reach.

Additionally, the Gold, Ultimate, and Collector’s Editions of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla were announced as well as the Ubicollectibles products:

  • The Gold Edition will include the base game and the Season Pass.
  • The Ultimate Edition will include the base game, the Season Pass and the Ultimate Pack giving access to players to exclusive customisation content: the Berserker Gear Pack, the Berserker Settlement Pack, the Berserker Longship Pack, along with a Set of Runes to improve weapons or gears.
  • The Collector’s Edition will include the base game, the Season Pass, the Ultimate Pack, the high-end Ubicollectibles replica of Eivor and her Drakkar (height: 30cm), a Collector’s Case, a Steelbook® with a unique artwork, a numbered certificate of authenticity, a Viking Statuette of Eivor with his raven and Dane axe (height: 5cm), exclusive lithographs as well as a Selected Soundtrack of the game. The Collector’s Edition is available exclusively on the Ubisoft Store.
  • The standalone Ubicollectibles products including the Eivor Wolf-Kissed Figurine and his Hidden Blade Replica.

Fans who pre-order Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will receive at launch an additional mission The Way of the Berserker, in which players will join a legendary Norse Berserker on his quest for revenge.

Finally, fans will be able to step even further into the world of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla with the original novel published by Penguin Random House, available starting now for pre-order.

Oh boy! I can’t wait for another overhyped AC game that turns out to be another buggy mess full of microtransactions and a base game that is literally full price for less content!

The English Roman attire doesn't make sense seeing the English are actually the Danish who succeeded in vanquishing the Franks from the country so why the fuck are the Danish fighting Franks in armor that is their own future armor '' mindfuck '' but i can already see it doing the whole story wrong being the Vikings vs the English wich is totally wrong seeing the English are mostly danish mixed from the tribe of Anglia and the Saxons vs the Franks who are mostly the future French hence the fued centuries to come England vs France

The whole RPG wannabe Witcher 3 style gameplay is strange for an Assassin's creed game but people like it. I won't be rushing out to buy it

Oh HECK YES. I am so excited for this.

...except that I've never enjoyed an Assassin's Creed game as much as I have 2/Brotherhood. I always get excited over a new AC, and then I play it and it's a good game, but it never sparks that fire that 2 did. But freakin', VIKINGS!!!
I really hope Kratos comes out in it as a DLC character.

I have to see more footage, before I make a decision.
Odyssey was fun, mainly cause they stole The Witcher 3's mechanics(and I love The Witcher 3). This time it has to have more than that, also the story needs to be on the same level if not better than AC2.

Would have been cooler if they timed it to match say the full moon, start of winter festivals or the like (end of October). However I imagine there are practical realities that would get in the way of that one (though I am not sure what competition is heading for that time period this year).
