Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Game overview

About the Game

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an open-world action role-playing game set primarily in ninth-century England and Norway. The player controls Eivor, a Viking who leads a clan from Norway to establish a new settlement in England amid conflicts between rival kingdoms. Gameplay combines exploration, melee and ranged combat, raids, character progression, dialogue choices, and settlement management. Players can form alliances with regional leaders, acquire equipment and abilities, and expand their settlement by constructing and upgrading buildings.

Storyline

Driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in the ninth century CE, players will lead Eivor's clan of Norsemen across the icy North Sea to the rich lands of England's broken kingdoms. Players must carve out a new future for their clan, reliving the ruthless fighting style of Viking warriors with a revamped combat system that includes the ability to dual-wield weapons against a greater variety of enemies than ever before. To secure resources players can lead raids to select locations using their longship to earn much-needed riches and resources. As the Vikings begin to settle in their new home, they encounter resistance from the Saxons including King Aelfred of Wessex, who denounces them as heathens and looks to be the sole ruler of a civilized England. Against all odds, Eivor must do what is necessary to keep Valhalla within reach.[4]
