Assassin's Creed: Valhalla Global Xbox One/Series
Venturing Northward
Ubisoft’s flagship series, Assassin’s Creed, continues to captivate with its latest installment: Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. In this twelfth entry, players delve into the Viking era, experiencing the Norse expansion into the British Isles. Fans of the series will be pleased to find signature elements like hidden blades and the exhilarating leap of faith.
Choose Your Warrior
The central figure of this open-world action-adventure is Eivor Varinsdottir, also known as the Wolf-Kissed, a formidable shieldmaiden and leader. Interestingly, players can choose to embody Eivor as either male or female or allow the game to switch between the two at critical story junctures. Both versions of Eivor are fully customizable, enhancing the personal connection to the journey.
Embrace the Viking Way
The game doesn’t just simulate the Viking look with beards and tattoos—it extends to the combat system. The traditional Assassin’s arsenal is augmented with period-specific weapons like flails and greatswords, and for the first time, players can wield these with the iconic Norse shields in dual combat.
Stealth and Strategy
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla revives the cherished series mechanic of blending into crowds to evade enemies. Eivor has new tricks too, such as playing dead and using a raven to distract guards. The game also offers non-violent paths through diplomatic means, broadening the strategies available to players.
