what

similar to Edwards in Black Flag as Edward a Vork encounters the murderous Templar conflict instead of inheriting it from birth as shown in the trailer Valhalla's bird of choice is a raven.

Instead of the standard eagle that the

assassin

s gravitate toward, it makes sense given the setting and Norse mythology. Odin uses his many ravens to spy on his enemies, which might bring to mind another recent Norse adventure, God of War, but Ubisoft isn't concerned with that comparison. I spoke to narrative director Darby McDevitt about this and he said it's Valhalla's grounded historical experience that sets it apart. I think the need is to always start immediately with the mythology stuff, but we really want you to feel like you're living in the Middle Ages. of England you are exploring the ruins left 400 to 500 years earlier by the Romans and the remains of the British tribes before that and even the pagan Saxons before they all converted to Christianity which founded the story and can be seen in the antagonists of the game: The trailer shows King Alfred of Wessex, one of the many leaders opposing the Viking forces, but King Alfred is only a villain, he is not the main villain of the game.

McDevitt said Ubisoft wants to save that revelation for later if this information is enough for you to pay attention to. -order the game, then you should
