Ubisoft+ Spotlight - Assassin's Creed Valhalla

(Editorial note: This is a series of quick weekly highlights written by our News team writers that feature games available with a Ubisoft+ subscription. We hope you'll enjoy reminiscing with us, or perhaps discover something new.)

Brittany Spurlin, Writer/Editor: Have you ever wanted to live the life of a Viking explorer, traversing a new world ripe with discovery and adventure - while eliminating members of an organization that threatens humanity's freedom? Look no further than Assassin's Creed Valhalla. A continuation of the Assassin's Creed franchise story, Valhalla expands on the conflict between the Order of the Ancients and the Hidden Ones in their early days, set in the backdrop of ninth-century England. Eivor's story is gripping, and the choices you make can have a lasting effect on the surrounding characters in the narrative. Plus, being able to build up your Settlement and raid the countryside with your handpicked longship crew adds more texture to the Assassin's Creed experience, allowing you to be fully immersed and invested in the world you build. The game even lets you step into a world of mythology, incorporating classic tales of Norse legend into gameplay. You can play Assassin's Creed Valhalla today with a Ubisoft+ subscription.
