Assassin’s Creed Valhalla looks beautiful and intense; granted this is a cinematic trailer, but you get the idea. Still, while I’m sure the game will be epic it just feels like the series has lost that Assassin’s Creed core feel/story. Just big wars and very little being sneaky and in the shadows.
The game takes place during the Viking Age meaning it takes place somewhere roughly 100-400 years before the original game. No word on magic artifacts or space aliens splicing themselves into human DNA can be seen in the trailer.
With the success of the past few Creed games you can expect more focus on snagging new gear and upgrading your abilities than doing the sneaky sneak. At least the buddy-boi in the trailer uses a hidden blade at the trailer end. If he didn’t you’d never even know this was Assassin’s Creed.
