Assassin's Creed Valhalla

After a long period of leaks, the worst kept secret in the video game industry, the setting of the next Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft has dropped a trailer.

Not too familiar with this setting, but it being the Viking invasion of England, that means there will be castles and such to climb. Not sure about big cities to explore though, but give me a world that's worth wandering and finding stuff, and I'm in.

Extremely boring. Fan service much.

Can't say I am thrilled by the setting. That said I was initially skeptical about Origins and Odyssey. Only to enjoy a lot both games. Hopefully it will be the same with this one.

Normally there should not be any castle actually. Since the Anglo-Saxon did not build anything in stones except churchs.

The protagonist looks like an extremely faithful copy of Ragnar. Still, the game seems to be deeper and more strategic than Throb, I suppose....

Looks like you can move your ships up rivers so it's got that one over ToB anyway.

I've enjoyed the last two ACs because of the big open historical worlds and how nice everything looks with HDR applied. I refuse to do those ridiculous free for all battles though.

I think it's a good setting (although I would have preferred an ancient Rome game after Odyssey, but I´d bet good money that's coming in a few years anyway). Only started playing Odyssey today though, so by the time I finish that AC: Imperator might be a thing already

Interesting era about vikings and anglo-saxons. I might look forward to it but not gonna preorder it. My little question is that doesn't we already have viking themed games already?

I still hope that Assassin's creed will make visit in shogunate japan because this assassin's creed fit to ninja's lifestyle.

Would love to see Meiji era Japan, maybe start during the Boshin War and include the Satsuma rebellion. It would be a perfect setting; changing times, old ways dying out, a new power rising to the world stage with plenty of intrigue.

Apparently, they may be bringing back social stealth (blending into crowds and whatnot) for Valhalla. I'm all aboard for that, sucks that they got rid of it in the first place (even if you looked completely out of place wearing that hood).
