Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Review. Become a Viking Legend.

November 9, 2020

Ubisoft’s latest instalment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, hits consoles just two years after the release of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. This new instalment means we get a new world, a new story, and a brand new hero. I think at this point we’ve all played an Assassin’s Creed, so I’m going to skip the back story.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla you’ll become Eivor, a mighty Viking raider. Explore a vast and mysterious open world as you lead your clan from the harsh shores of Norway to their new home amid the lush farmlands of an untamed ninth-century England.
