The new Ubisoft Montreal continues the path marked by Origins and followed by Odyssey, although it will recover classic elements.
Since the Ubisoft saga was introduced in the role paths, the narrative has acquired different overtones. A huge world full of inhabitants implies a multitude of problems, a series of vicissitudes that usually fall on the shoulders of the protagonist. Assassin's Creed Valhalla will continue to offer side quests that will accompany the events that take place during the main plot. Through an interview published by Kotaku, the creative director of the video game, Ashraf Ismail, has promised that these secondary tasks will be loaded with depth.
"We want to make sure you really feel the essence of England's dark age with all its precious details," he begins. “Different parts of the country had different practices, different beliefs, different ways of living life. And we have used those details, so we have been meticulous about it. We want people to discover that at Assassin's Creed Valhalla. " Next, the developer references the side quests. "There is a lot of deep narrative" in these additional contents. "Of course, it is there because we want people to see it."

Why are there so many studies involved?
One of the reasons why Ubisoft Montreal has had 14 collaborating studios, including Ubisoft Barcelona, is because they wanted to give identity to each of the elements of the video game. According to the creative, the goal is to make it something unique, that respects the "players' time" and offers mysteries and puzzles to solve. "And here I speak a little abstractly, but there are more mysteries when it comes to playing, bigger puzzles."
Assassin's Creed Valhalla will go on sale in late 2020 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC and Google Stadia. It is already confirmed that the version for the Microsoft console will come with Smart Delivery, so if you buy the game in the current generation, you can update it on Xbox Series X at no additional cost.
