Assassin's Creed Valhalla is Ubisoft's action-RPG set in the Viking Age. Players control Eivor Varinsdottir, a legendary Viking warrior who migrates from Norway to England (playable as male, female, or the story-shifting 'Eivor choice'). Building and growing their own settlement, Eivor forms alliances, raids, and conquers Anglo-Saxon kingdoms while encountering the secretive Assassin brotherhood, the Hidden Ones. Featuring one of the largest open worlds in the series, it spans Norwegian fjords to the green lands of England, and even Norse mythology realms like Asgard and Jotunheim. Combat has been redesigned to feel heavier and more brutal than in prior entries Origins and Odyssey, adding a dual-wielding option for carrying different weapons in each hand. Settlement building, resource gathering, and alliance-forming through negotiation or intimidation add a strategic management layer to the game.
