«Assassin’s Creed Valhalla»: check out the first trailer to the upcoming Viking Experience

The latest instalment in this historical murder saga will be published around autumn. And «Assassin’s Creed Valhalla» is sending you to join the Vikings in the frigid North.

The first official teaser was a disappointment. On a Wednesday live stream, an artist thrillingly announced the setting for the newest «Assassin’s Creed» game with an image. The thing is, previous leaks had already let slip that we were heading northwards. However, the subtitle «Ragnarok» hasn't come to fruition. A true trailer for «Assassin’s Creed Valhalla» was only shown a day later.

The English aren't very happy about their Nordic visitors.

There isn't gameplay in this one either, but the cinematic trailer gives a good impression of what to expect this autumn. After an excursion to ancient Greece featuring performances by philosopher Socrates as well as legendary figures such as the Minotaur and Medusa, the next leg of our journey will be a bit frostier. It's the Viking Age – somewhere around 845 CE. You'll be battling the English, while also hopefully meeting the occasional mythical creature. Something Nordic mythology isn't lacking. You take on the role of Eivor – male or female – and sail across the sea to England with a clan that was driven out of Norway.

«Assassin’s Creed Valhalla» will be released towards the end of the year for PC, PS4, Xbox One as well as the new consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X.

What do you think of the new setting?
