Over the last few years, the “Assassin’s Creed” series has shifted its vision. The franchise was once a focused stealth experience. But in 2017, “Assassin’s Creed Origins” incorporated deeper role-playing mechanics, and “Odyssey” introduced a narrative mostly removed from the core assassin versus templar conflict. To longtime fans, the changes have been bittersweet. The series strayed from its roots. “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla,” the newest entry, marries older and newer visions into one, bringing more balance to the franchise.
You play as Eivor (who can be male or female), a young, Norse Viking chief leading incursions and forming alliances across England, to strengthen their clan’s presence and influence as they settle in this new land. You journey through beautiful kingdoms, cities and rural landscapes, helping allies capture territories by force, persuasion.
