Ubisoft Announces Assassin's Creed Valhalla For 2020 Holidays

Ubisoft officially announced today they were releasing Assassin's Creed Valhalla for the upcoming 2020 holiday season. Much like its predecessor Odyssey did for Ancient Greece, you will be taken down the road of the Viking experience in Northern Europe for another open-world experience. The game's vibrant settings and brutal battles are set in England's Dark Ages, as you will be given the chance to take part in several new features including raids, growing your settlement, building up power, and expanding your influence. You can read more from the announcement below, as well as check out screenshots and the extended trailer for the reveal.

"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 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, clothing, 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 supplies. 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.
