Ubisoft, the French-based video game company, has released a very popular series called "Assassin's Creed".
The story of the series has taken place in various times and places.
The latest installment, "Assassin's Creed Valhalla", has been announced, and as we eagerly await the new announcement of what the world will look like this time, a world premiere trailer was released on May 1, 2020! The full story has been revealed!
The setting is medieval European England
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is set in England during the Dark Ages of Med ieval Europe and tells the story of the battles and glory of the hero, the Viking "Avor".
It is a dynamic and beautiful open-world game that allows players to experience the realistic world of the Vikings.
Players will be able to raid new systems, develop settlements, and expand their power and influence in order to be called by the gods of Valhalla.
The player, "Avor", can be male or female, and can customize his or her abilities, tattoos, and equipment.
The game offers alliances, strategies, conversation choices, equipment growth, and other systems that affect your friends and your future, and your choices will change the story.
There are always choices to be made, such as a new combat system with different weapons in each hand, longships to acquire the wealth and resources you need, and resistance from enemies when the Vikings begin to settle in.
We're waiting for more details, but we're pretty sure Ubisoft will make the game better than expected!
