Hello ladies and gent this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: everything we know about the Viking-inspired adventure.

Ubisoft has confirmed the next chapter in the Assassin's Creed series will be Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which will see players visiting the (long-rumored) Viking Age.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla sees players taking on the role of Viking raider Eivor, who leads their clan from their native home of Norway to the the shores of Dark Ages England - with a hope of settling for good. But resistance from the Saxons won't exactly make it easy. With less of an emphasis on stealth, Valhalla introduces new features such as raids, settlement management and customization. It looks like the bloodiest entry to date and we can't wait to get our hands on it when it releases for current and next-gen consoles in "Holiday 2020".

And we won't have to wait long until we see Assassin's Creed Valhalla in action, as Ubisoft has confirmed we'll get a first-look at gameplay during Microsoft's Xbox Series X gameplay reveal on May 7.

Voice actors revealed

Creative Director Ashraf Ismail has revealed the voice actors for female and male Eivor: Danish actors Cecilie Stenspil and Magnus Buun. With Ubisoft leaning into the RPG elements of Assassin's Creed and making dialogue choices really matter, it's likely we'll be hearing a lot of them. 

Cut to the chase

• What is it? The next chapter in the Assassin's Creed series
• When can I play it? "Holiday 2020" (so between October and December 2020)
• What can I play it on? Xbox Series X, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, Stadia and PC

Assassin's Creed Valhalla release date

Assassin's Creed Valhalla will release "Holiday 2020" (so sometime between October and December) to coincide with the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. 

The game will release for Xbox Series X, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, Stadia and PC, and will be an Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store exclusive on PC. In addition, Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be available on Ubisoft's subscription service UPLAY+. 

Present day playable

In an interview with Eurogamer, lead producer Julien Laferrière confirmed the present day will be playable. 

"We've found a way to blend the present day into a new type of experience for players," Laferrière said. "And present day is playable - I can confirm that."

No co-op

Ubisoft has confirmed Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a single-player game.

Raven animal companion

In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, players had an eagle companion that could scout out areas from above. In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, you'll have a raven companion which will have new abilities. 

Romance available

Assassin's Creed Valhalla will have romance options, however it's not clear whether players will be able to romance everyone, regardless of gender.  

Epic Games Store exclusive

The PC version of Assassin's Creed Valhalla is only available on Epic Game Store and Uplay, which we expect will ruffle more than a few feathers.
