New Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla trailer shows glimpse of Eivor’s legacy
Dimapur, Sept. 30 (EMN): Ubisoft has just dropped a new trailer for their upcoming game, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. The newest game from the Assassin’s Creed franchise will let players play as Eivor, a mighty Viking raider who leads his clan from the harsh shores of Norway to a new home amid the lush farmlands of ninth-century England.
The story trailer dives deep into the legacy that is Eivor and his relationship with his brother Sigurd. In the trailer Eivor is described as an “orphan and sibling, warrior and poet.”
Sigurd wants to leave Norway in search of a new home in England. This ultimately means that the Viking brothers will have to confront the “Saxon kings and the warmongering sons of Ragnar Lothbrok,” once they reach the shores of England.
There is also a mention about “a mysterious, growing threat to England’s destiny” which may be a reference to the Assassin’s league.
