Reports of Viking warriors preferring to wear tie-dyed tunics, somehow finding those horrible Cheech and Chong movies funny, and wanting to swap their battle axe for a lute, are unsubstantiated at this point.

Embracing the more mystical side of Viking and British lore, Assassin's Creed Valhalla seems to be doubling down on all the mystical stories included in the recent games.

With a newer and shinier generation of consoles on the way, those prices may soon be increasing to match costs. 2K Games has already got the ball rolling with the next NBA 2K title charging a $70 premium for PS5 and Xbox Series X versions, a new benchmark that other publishers are likely to follow in the next-gen days to come. Ubisoft on the other hand, won’t be increasing their prices. For now at least.

Keen to see some fresh new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gameplay? Here you go! Axes, longboats and cat raiders!

Whereas previous Assassin’s Creed games encouraged you to be a scalpel that could strike with surgical precision and vanish before anyone was aware of your devious presence, Eivor is pure blunt force trauma and a siege weapon in a knife fight.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft’s looking to change the flow of side quests up. And by change, we mean not have them in the game at all. Or at least give the idea a new coat of paint.

We’ll be live-covering the event tonight, so if you’re not in the mood to watch everything unfold, check here for fresh trailer dumps, more info on upcoming games and plenty of hype!

We’re neck deep in the totally Not-E3 season, and after weeks of waiting one of the Big Four of gaming is finally ready to lift the lid on everything that it has to show. Ubisoft’s back with a bang, and barring any other leaks for Far Cry 6, there should be a few surprises in store tonight! Ubisoft’s event kicks off at 12pm PT/3pm ET/8pm GMT, which translates to 9PM in African time. Not too shabby.
