Assassin’s Creed Valhalla World Premiere trailer – the Age of Vikings is coming

After a teaser with BossLogic that lasted for hours, Ubisoft finally released the cinematic world premiere trailer for their latest Assassin's Creed game: Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It was suspected that the series was headed to Norse mythology after touching on the Egpytian and then Greek aspects of history. We're once again expecting the game to be more like an RPG with stealth elements than the Assassin's Creed of old, but time will tell, once we get to see the official gameplay.

Become a Legendary Viking Raider in Assassin’s Creed® Valhalla

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — April 30, 2020 — 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 customization 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 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.
