The Assassin’s Creed franchise finally introduced Vikings in Valhalla. This game follows the revenge story of Eivor. His mother and father are killed when he is young. The killer meets his end early in the game, but the organization behind him lingers on throughout.
This game starts off in Norway with its snow capped peaks and cold weather. After Viking politics take hold, Eivor travels to flourishing England. Going from the snow to the green and flowers of the English country side.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla requires a lot of longboat use to travel the riverways of England. Eivor takes control of a longboat crew to carryout raids along coastlines. It goes from rowing to raising the mast, then the sail can be let loose to really get things moving.
On land, a horse is available.
