Assassin's Creed Valhalla
In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, become Eivor, a legendary Viking raider on a quest for glory. Explore a dynamic and beautiful open world set against the brutal backdrop of England’s Dark Ages. Raid your enemies, grow your settlement, and build your political power in the quest to earn a place among the gods in Valhalla.
What it feels like
Hard-won victories in raiding and settlement building create swelling momentum and achievement. The narrative treats Viking ambition and quest for Valhalla with sincere, unironic weight.
What it's about
Grounded in the historical period of England's Dark Ages and Viking settlement. Viking raiding, conquest, and warfare drive the central conflict and progression. A legendary Viking's journey to earn glory and a place among the gods mirrors the hero's arc.
How it plays
Close-quarters weapon combat against raiders and enemies is a primary interaction. Growing and developing your Viking settlement is a central loop tied to narrative progression. Avoiding detection and silent eliminations are core stealth mechanics inherited from the series.
How it looks and sounds
The camera follows Eivor from behind the shoulder throughout exploration and combat. High-fidelity rendering of Viking England aims for grounded visual authenticity. The cast is fully voiced throughout, including Eivor and all major characters.
How it's structured
A large continuous England explorable in largely non-linear order is the core setting for raiding and expansion. The Dark Ages England is traversed as one seamless world without hard loading boundaries between regions. A bounded story arc centers on Eivor's quest for glory and a place in Valhalla with definite progression.
