IGN recently published a guide to 9th century Britain for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The game takes place in England during the Viking invasion, and it’s focused on the conquest from the perspective of the Vikings.
Eivor and his or her Viking clan have arrived on the shores of a politically unstable country. England is already at civil war between power-hungry leaders. One of these leaders is King Alfred of Wessex, who is probably the main villain of the game.
Since none of these leaders desire to share power, Eivor will have to form allegiances in order to overcome the overwhelming forces of the enemy leaders.
Much of the country’s power is held by Anglo-Saxons, who hate and fear the Norse. That means there will undoubtedly be conflict, no matter the actions of Eivor and his/her Viking Clan.
If you want to know more you can watch the guide to 9th century Britain for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla below.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla releases on November 10th and here are also its official PC system requirements.
Thanks IGN.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

oh a reskin of odyssey and Origin what a shoker
how is that bad for someone liking both origins and odyssey?
Because liking those games is already bad
Well that wasn’t the change i expected for the series, i hoped for a return to form of the present story, and perhaps a bit less of “I’am an angry character because X killed Y, and i loved Y so much but now i hate X” and we got none of that.
The world is sure well crafted but that ends here IMO, social stealth disappeared, the combat is awful with those spongy enemies that barely react to hits, the grinding was insulting, and the fact i cannot backstab some high level morons just killed every hope i have for this game, like really that’s the point of backstabbing and stealth, it’s for resolving situations i cannot in direct combat so why the hell i can’t just backstab some foe after 15mn of well planned stealth ??
And yeah, the AI is still sh*t and it’s still full of bugs and glitches, so all in all, they made a bigger map and added numbers and health bars to enemies (ArrPiGi eLeMeNtS) That’s not a nice change when you look closer
I actually do agree with a lot you said there. I much prefer the older titles and wish that the last two had been more of an addition to the series. The new one looks ok and they have promised to bring a lot of the old features back so fingers crossed.
IMO the series needs to end ASAP, and i speak as someone who played ALL the episodes except Odyssey, i don’t expect any good things from this Ubisoft we have nowadays, they went from real independent artists to one of the most corporate soulless publisher in the industry, but i have to agree on only one point, they can make fantastic worlds, sadly the rest is never on the same level because their only goal is to sell games filled with tons of content with slow grinding so they can push for MTX, my fingers are not crossed for Valhalla, but for a better management and quality standards in the future of the company
Because it was a damn good game.
You say that as though you believe your opinion is a fact like so many others nowadays.
You say a lot of things in that way too, but sometimes, someone trashes the game you like, that’s life (Note that i never judged any comment you made about a game i like because… That’s life)
Oh I’m pretty sure you have. However, that’s a fair comment.
But come on this is one of the most toxic comments section there is. If you happen to like anything that doesn’t fit into this groups norms look out.
The difference is I don’t give a damn if I don’t fit in.
That you don’t wanna play the same stuff for the 3rd time.
You could make a case for that argument for most game franchises though.
Why not? GTA to say one example, is the same every time, just better graphics and different story, and have an incredible success. If you like a game, you will like infinite sequels of it.
Because you’ll be playing the same game as 3 years ago with nothing new?
Why do I even have to explain this?
See above.
mafia definitive edition was mafia 3 reskin, cod cold war is going to be call of duty reboot reskin. devs invest and make engines so that they can make reskins and sell them to cucks and shills who pay $60 for them. sad part is that you can find plenty of people who would gladly offer their dirty a*ses for these reskins and they’re ready to die in order to defend their f4ggy behavior and choices.
NeHoMaR is one of the people I was talking about, he just commented.
The Combat system actually looks fun this time around.
Unity had a very good combat system as did a few of the others, they’re not supposed to be bloody Souls like games.
Make your mind up.
Have you tried? If you have it would be fair to comment…
0:08 No one even bothered to add a proper animation for the character properly holding the mug, this is an example of how Ubi doesn’t give a f*ck about their own games
they reused animations for example those trash horse running animations… after playing red dead or even black desert is a pain
Dead game
People are going to buy and play the f—k out of this game since CyberPunk was delayed yet again 😀
Yep everyone on here moans about the series but every release sells huge numbers and millions enjoy it. Mind this lot only seem to enjoy the ocassional indie anyway.
I’m sure you said that you played Origins or did you get it for free with a GPU maybe?
Because as we know quantity = quality, join the herd!
or they could buy watchdogies legion
every ubi game is the same these days
so it only takes place in britain? Lol no thanks
No.
then why they saw only britain?
Because that is what the feature is about.
Only a week to go, really looking forward to playing this. I love the AC series though Odyssey was a disappointment apart from the Atlantis DLC.
More SPAM from Chris. stop posting random/useless and garbage news from IGN ffs.
no offense intended btw.
Chris always takes down the quality of this site with the spam every time he re-appears.
Actually it’s something for everyone, besides if you don’t like it go elsewhere.
I like METAL messiah’s tech news articles though. Dude has posted a lot of quality stuff lately imho, Nick.
of course, this boils down to personal taste and preferences, but this constant SPAM from Chris needs to end. Sick of seeing the constant BS from IGN, and other crap news on Netflix TV series, and whatnot.
stop posting garbage yourself
Well I don’t use IGN or follow their news, so it’s fine by me.
Really it’s still one of the best PC games focused sites imo.

of course, this boils down to personal taste and preferences, as you may not like reading Tech news, but this constant SPAM from Chris needs to end. Sick of seeing the constant BS from IGN, and other crap news on Netflix TV series, and whatnot.
True but not everyone wants to read about every tech rumour or in depth tech articles. They are trying to offer something for everyone it’s hardly a crime.
Vikings were in fact a charity composed only by black trans people, who got themselves isolated cause the church was oppressing them.
But worry not, Ubicuck will show us the real history the books always tried to hide.
