Introduction

We are just a few days away from one of the most exciting games of the year, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which will release on November 10 for PS5, PS4, Xbox One/S/X, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and PC.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla comes two years after its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and is set in the Dark Viking Ages. The Vikings travel from their northern homelands to settle in England, starting at Ravensthorpe, which is located in the kingdom of Ledecestrescire.

Quick Overview

The game focuses on colonizing England, where your clan will settle. Ravensthorpe will be your main base, where you can change your outfit or use the gear you’ve collected. The game will feature raids to improve your settlement and protect it from enemy attacks. You’ll explore four distinct kingdoms—Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, and Wessex—each with its own culture and religious beliefs. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla offers the largest map in the series, covering all of England and part of Norway.

With the Season Pass, you’ll also get additional expansions like Ireland and Paris, which include new missions.

Characters and Performance

This time, you’ll play as Eivor, a character whose gender (male or female) you can choose and switch between. Eivor is friendly by nature, seeking glory, but can quickly become a fierce warrior when threatened.

Combat and Skills

The game introduces new combat mechanics, such as brutal power abilities, dual-wielding weapons, and shields. You can also upgrade your skills by finding ancient books and Loot Boxes, which are fewer but more unique than before.

Performance and Graphics

The game offers high-quality graphics, which you’ll notice right from the announcement. On next-gen consoles like the PS5, the game runs at 4K 60FPS, while if you own the game on current-gen consoles, you’ll receive a free upgrade to next-gen systems.

Conclusion

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is perfect for fans of Viking mythology, different religions, and anyone who enjoys the Assassin’s Creed series. It delivers a powerful story with high-quality graphics, offering an exciting and different gaming experience.
