Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla preview — Just add vikings

After rebooting its formula in 2017 with Origins, Assassin’s Creed is getting ready to launch its third game that focuses on RPG mechanics and a giant world to explore. And while the stealth era of Assassin’s Creed lasted for nine games, I wonder about the longevity of this new formula.

This doesn’t mean that Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla may not be good, at least based on what I played. The latest in Ubisoft’s giant franchise is coming out on November 17 season for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Stadia. It will also be hitting the next-gen systems, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which will also release this fall.
