On the topic of a new Assassin’s Creed game and the said game will be releasing on a new line of gaming consoles at the end of the year, it is expected that the title would out do its predecessor, right? Well actually, that does not happen to be the case for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. In response to the game’s setting of merging Norway, Scandinavia, and England, Ubisoft tells the scale to be toned down in contrast to the 2018’s release Odyssey.
Ubisoft’s Malek Taffaha, Head of Communications for Ubisoft in the Middle East shares that the coming Nordic experience for the Assassin’s Creed saga will be less bloated than the recent entry released by Ubisoft Quebec. Taffaha tweeted the details which was then translated by VG24/7, but since then the post has been retracted.
FYI, it won’t be the longest or biggest game in the series. They addressed criticism on this one.
Although some fans will be discouraged to learn that the game will not be as dramatic in scope as the previous Ancient Greece installment, the news is reassuring to others. Many fans who played the game endlessly, including myself, found that the game actually happened to be overly big to an unnecessary extent for one entry. Granted, there was a year break, but it was overwhelming with the amount of territory to claim for returning players with limited time.
But despite the more condensed title, Ubisoft did clarify in a separate report elsewhere to be filling the game to the brim with relevant content suited to the time period. For instance, players will find themselves working alongside the main storyline to form a strong settlement of other Viking descent when travelling through western Europe.
Even more, the team shares that there are plenty of raids on English (Saxon) strongholds that are littered throughout the landscape of the game’s map for players to indulge in as well. Players can also find themselves decorating their male or female protagonist which can be submitted online for players to use in their own save also. You can read the full report by heading here.
Are you alright with Valhalla’s smaller world to Odyssey’s overly ambitious region?
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is said to ship sometime in holiday 2020 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PC, and Stadia.
