Assassin’s Creed Valhalla throws players axe-first into ninth-century England, an age of warring kingdoms and Viking conquest. As Eivor, a fierce Viking raider, you’ll lead your clan to build a new home amid England’s fractured dominions. Launching Holiday 2020 on PS5 and Xbox Series X, as well as PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will let you raid, conquer, and fight for glory in a mysterious, brutal new land.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, nearly every decision you make will have lasting effects throughout the world. Violence won’t be your only tactic for getting what you want; a silver tongue can be as effective as a steel sword when it comes to finding a home for your people. Shifting England’s balance of power and expanding your influence through diplomacy will likely make you more friends than brute force. Every political alliance you build, combat strategy you employ, and dialogue choice you make will alter your journey.

You wouldn’t be a Viking raider without raids, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla lets you lead surprise longship attacks to pillage enemy territories for much-needed resources, or launch massive assaults against rival Saxon strongholds. Raids will be more action-packed and brutal than anything Assassin’s Creed has seen before, thanks to a visceral new combat system that lets you bash, dismember, and decapitate your foes. Eivor will be able to dual-wield axes, swords, and even shields against the greatest variety of enemy types ever seen in Assassin’s Creed. And if you want to mix it up, the return of the Hidden Blade allows Eivor to assassinate targets with deadly precision.

Here's another Assassin's Creed title to get excited about. Ubisoft overnight announced its Assassin's Creed Valhalla title and posted the first teaser image as well. This AC iteration adds vikings into the mix this time and is set in history, probably before the Templars came into being. We're just guessing for now since the details are not out yet. To calm your nerves, you can take a look at the teaser image made by graphic designer BossLogic, who has been working with Ubisoft since months.

The image shows a Norse-inspired setting for the Valhalla title with a bearded viking warrior standing in the middle holding an axe, indicating it to be one of the combat tools in the game. Naval exploration will also be a part of the game as seen in the image. The developer will tell us more about the title on April 30, 11AM ET (today 8.30PM IST).

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be the first title after 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey that came with several new RPG-like game mechanics. There was no new AC title released in 2019. Although we are not yet sure when the Valhalla will be released, the fact that teaser trailer will be out soon, the official launch could happen this year itself.
