Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and more this holiday

After announcing the title yesterday, Ubisoft has given us a better look at Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla today. Ubisoft also confirmed that the game is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox One Series X, along with PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, this holiday season.

This includes a cinematic trailer, which you can watch above. It starts with the narration of an Anglo-Saxon king (the famous Aelfred the Great) painting the Norse as monsters, while the actions in the video show otherwise. This confirms that the game will take place during the Viking invasions of England, around the 9th century. The trailer also shows the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons engaging in a bloody battle. Toward the end, one of the Norse defeats a large Anglo-Saxon soldier with a hidden blade, the iconic weapon of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.
