Unlike Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey whose greatest obstacle was an enemy who could maths better than you, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is focusing more on power so as to avoid blocking story progression.

New Assassin’s Creed, who dis? The last couple of years have been especially good for fans of Ubisoft’s premiere backstabbing showcase, with the likes of Assassin’s Creed Origins and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey revitalising the brand with a bold new direction and attitude. Because all good things come in three, there’s a good chance that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be the end of the current generation of Animus action, but it’ll be a final push on aging and hardware and bleeding edge next-gen devices that’ll be going out with a bang.

It’s Assassin’s Creed with Vikings, and I couldn’t be happier. Here’s the first teaser trailer for the upcoming game, which may be light on actual gameplay but is heavy on story. Grab an axe and check it out!

Hippos are bastards. And in Assassin’s Creed Origins, they may be nigh-unstoppable engines of chaos that want to take a chomp out of you, should you venture too close to them.
