If you’ve always wanted to live like a Viking, now’s your chance. The trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Valhalla dropped Thursday, showing an English king setting up a declaration of war against the Norse people. The game is slated for the end of 2020. The trailer also initially shows Vikings in a more human light, sparing a woman and child mid-pillage and playing with their own kids.
The setting of the next Assassin’s Creed video game was revealed in a livestream Wednesday.
Ubisoft hosted a nearly 4-hour-long livestream of artist BossLogic working on a piece of art that slowly revealed the setting of the game. We got early glimpses of an icy sea and fighting below a castle, with the final scene dominated by a figure dressed in furs and holding a large ax.
