The new installment developed by Ubisoft Monreal will recover some classic mechanics, such as social stealth or instant death by injury of the double sheet.
Ubisoft Montreal will continue to delve in the new direction with Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but the studio has decided to recapture some mechanics from the past. As we publish on FreeGameTips, we can instantly kill with the hidden blade, the Assassin's weapon, as well as use social stealth to merge with the crowd. Since the official announcement of the video game, the studio has confirmed new additions. In an interview with US Gamer, Darby McDevitt, narrative manager of the title, stressed that we will have the option to fake death to get out of the situation.
What he has not explained is how it will work, whether it will be a base mechanic or will be implemented through some kind of skill. "Additionally, we have the return of the hidden blade and the hood and the robe", elements that will help us to merge with the environment and kill more quietly. The Sýnin crow, on the other hand, will be able to annoy and mislead the enemies, so that Eivor, protagonist of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, passes undetected. The latter is rescued from other installments of the saga. For example, the eagle Icarus, from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, possessed these kinds of abilities.
Violent dismemberments
The representation of the Vikings in fiction is usually done through violence. The image that people have on their head is that of a stocky warrior, with long braided hair, tattoos, etc. That is, the live image of Eivor, who like Ragnar in the Vikings series, raises his battle ax and unleashes a blood shower in just a few seconds. Ubisoft's production will follow this same line, to the point that there will be beheadings and dismemberments.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla puts us in the shoes of Eivor, a protagonist (woman or man, both canons) who leads his clan to a new life. They leave their native Norway in order to settle in new lands, but their desire for peace will not last long in England, lands ruled by different kings in contention.
The game will go on sale later this year for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia.
