Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

https://www.darkhorizons.com/assassi...icial-trailer/

Set in the ninth century in a period of turmoil for the Vikings. You play as Elvor, a raider who leads their clan away from their war-torn Norwegian homeland to England.

Elvor can be played as male or female, and Ubisoft says combat will take cues from Viking fighting styles, with a reworked combat system that includes dual-wielding and more enemy variety.

Awesome!

[SubCog]

Looks sweet.

It's like they roll a dice to see what year it lands on now. The "Assassin's Creed" timeline doesn't even make sense anymore, and it hasn't been a true "Assassin's Creed" game in a while (Templars storyline).



Ezio and Altair are probably rolling in their mother ****ing graves right now. Heck, even Bayek who founded the origins of the Assassins is probably rolling his eyes.


Can't wait for Assassin's Creed: Primal to come out.

Ubisoft has had a lot of fun finding creative ways to connect periods to each other, however little connection there is. I don't mind - the game's stars are always the locations, never the overarching lore.

Agreed.

[KAC]

Bring it on.

[logical]

Always down for a new assassin's Creed. I'll probably need a 3080ti to Max this one.

[DeathKnight]

Yes please!

[acroig]

Last two have been awesome.

Yeah i definitely did enjoy the tempar/etzio/altair story and miss it but the quality games since then (it's gotta be like about 10 years now) have been solid, notably black flag and origins.

im excited for this one, but hopefully they dont continue to ram the ****ing levels and stats down our throats. that's probably the most annoying thing about the "new" games.

[Munkus]

Looking forward to Assassin's Creed: Time Suck

[switchAMG]

Looks cool -- I have been contemplating Odyssey for a few months.

next

assassin's creed B.C.

Very nice, Bill. So right.

I've bought all the AC games released after I finished Black Flag. I actually completed BF twice. (for reference I've completed maybe 30+ games in my 480+ steam library) Not one AC game released after BF has captured my interest longer than 20 or so hours. Every game is technically very, very well done, but fails on some level to keep me playing.

[theshadowcult]

literally the only things that kept me playing were the "present day" intrege and the sailing in black flag. The actual assassins creed stuff was as bland as the last 4 games. yet, i liked it enough that i'd still consider it my favourite ass creed game.

I feel like that's a bit unfair. The Ass Creed games have always been about exploring history and we know that Templars have persisted to the modern day so there are likely many of them across many settings and time periods.

I feel like I'm probably one of the few gamers that is not tired of the franchise. I've played them all and there have been ups (AC2) and downs (AC3) but most of them were a great time. Odyssey was huge and fun and I really enjoyed playing it for like 80hrs, despite the fact that it's quite a different beast than the early games.

Perhaps they'll find a middle ground between the tight stealth / assassination components of AC2 and the broad exploration rpg style of ACdyssey. I'm still excited about anything along that scale, although I suspect it will be closer to the latter.

I'm looking forward to seeing the gameplay of this one.

[Arioch]

Gonna pre-order this soon

[Megaman]

This is not coming to steam. Epic is taking it. Shame

[logical]

Was Odyssey on steam day 1? I got it on the Ubi launcher.

[bob saget]

Yes please!

You're definitely not It's gotta be one of the most anticipated bubbles of snot streaming out of ubisofts nose that also includes far cry and ghost recon.

[Dungeoncrawler]

Exclusive for epic game store and ubisoft at launch.

...and will also release on PC exclusively on both the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store.

On a positive note I've read you will be able to engage in large scale battles.

I'm looking forward to the one where you play as Jesus.

[acroig]

I'm looking forward to the one where you play as Jesus.

JC Creed?

[bob saget]

I'm looking forward to the one where you play as Jesus.

that's every AssCreed game. you have the power of flight. you heal leopards. and you turn water into crafting materials.

[Thr0tt]

Getting there being able to choose male or female but if I can’t select non gender specific, colour, religion, belief system then it’s just not PC enough for me and I think we should boycott all games where they haven’t got these options /sigh.

[Sundance Kid V2]

JC Creed?

I'll wait for the discount price. Ass Creed are way expensive when they release.

[Megaman]

I'll wait for the discount price. Ass Creed are way expensive when they release.

JC Ass creed discounts will only happen at Xmas or Easter.

[Sundance Kid V2]

JC Ass creed discounts will only happen at Xmas or Easter.

Then I'll be buying Next Xmas

[DeathKnight]

The game will be available through a Uplay+ subscription at launch so no real need to buy it outright unless it's going to take you many months to complete. Supposedly the Ultimate edition will be on there too.

That's probably the way I'll go and then buy it much later when it's cheap.

[SirBaron]

All ubisoft games are epic or uplay exclusive for a while now, so this will be no diferent.

I'll just get the standard edition, and buy the season pass when it's on sale.

Not saying the games aren't good, they games ARE good... but is it really Assassin's Creed anymore other than name? What happened is what was "Assassin's Creed" evolved into something else entirely. It allowed them to explore new timelines, eras, and gameplay. But it isn't really Assassin's Creed anymore and they didn't want to change the name (because the name itself alone is responsible for some of the recognition/success).

It's not even a templar story anymore (no templars existed during the Viking raids). If it's just a story of Assassinations now, that's fine. But "Origins" was supposed to be the "origins" story of the Assassins group but they kept going back in time because the settings were cool. So now it's not even a story about the Assassin's anymore, it's about assassinations. I'm not even sure how this fits into Vikings because Vikings are front line warriors and do not fight with stealth, etc.. They kill people by literally running to them and killing them, not "assassinating" them. It seems this would be another case where the setting was much more cooler than the logic of the series so they ran with it.

I am not joking when I say there will be an Assassin's Creed "Primal" one day. It may even be a good game. But would it still be an Assassins Creed game? Don't you think the name should have been changed?

[OverclockN']

I agree with what you're saying Exposed, for the most part.

The early games had more story involved. You'd constantly wake up in the present time and have to run about, or have dialogue with characters, or read computers and information to get more back story. The first one was a bit light, but they picked up a little after that. Black Flag was pretty good, IMO.

However, Unity and some of the others seemed like they didn't link it to the present timeline at all. Some of the games were just simply stories of different assassins in different time periods, though not linked to the other games at all. They were decently fun/entertaining, but I was a bit disappointed that the main story was getting dropped for basically individual tales from different characters.

I still enjoy the hell out of them, and I think Origins tied in the start of it all quite nicely. But they really feel a bit disconnected from the original games and plot. Origins had a LITTLE bit of that in it, but if you didn't go out of your way looking...I don't think you'd ever see it.

[John C Flett]

I'm sure I'll play it time when it gets cheap. I've played all the others (just about finished Syndicate as the last one) but I've never been that excited by them. They always seem good enough but also could have been so much more. Ubisoft obviously have a business model that works for them but I do wish they would make fewer but better games.

[KAC]

I love these games. I don’t mind the crazy stories either. Odyssey and Origins both were absolutely fantastic. I have played all of them with the exception of side scrollers and never completed the Liberation game.

This one seems like a system seller for PS5 and XsX.
