Assassin's Creed Valhalla will not own the biggest map, but it will certainly be the game with the most massive content in the entire series.
As the sequel to the popular assassin game series, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is expected to launch in Q4 2020, it is set in the 9th century and gives players the role of a Viking warrior named Eivor. Different from the formula to create the world of recent Assassin's Creed games like Origins or Odyssey, Ubisoft developers want to bring more killer old content like the legendary hidden blade.
Upgrade context and AI
After the success of creating a large open world in Origins, developers will continue to upgrade and expand it in this Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The character, NPC and target of the player will operate, activities and move according to the rules of day / night just like a normal person. That means the possibility that many of the characters the player wants to meet or assassinate will not appear in a fixed location, a champion will not only be fixed in the barracks but will patrol outside or return to sleep. in the evening. This mechanism is being perfected in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, to make the game return to the familiar assassination game.
Another important change is that players can now develop their territory, after arriving in the UK, the original NPCs will begin to build a new residential area according to the story. Assassin's Creed Valhalla wants all those NPCs to have an impact on players, they will have their own names, ages and relationships to create a 'real' life. And of course, as a leader of that community, gamers will face many problems such as population growth and food development.
Quests are no longer simply kills
In Odyssey, the mission takes the player through the cities or lands of ancient Greece, with the faction divided into two separate countries. Assassin's Creed Valhalla continues this mechanism, but instead of nation-wide it narrows each city, another important point is that players will receive the mission in their own territory before leaving. These missions will vary depending on the external situation, the number of characters that gamers have met before or random events of the true open world.
Not all missions require killing, sometimes it will be peace negotiations. The reason is because Assassin's Creed Valhalla has the player's territory, so gathering and building alliances will be what keeps it alive. Of course, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is still a Viking game, so there will be enemies that can only be solved by force and war is still the main thing in the game.
You can choose the male or female protagonist as you like
Like Odyssey, Assassin's Creed Valhalla also allows players to choose between the male or female version of the protagonist Eivor, the dialogue in the game will also change depending on gender but generally they are not very important. The main gameplay and difficulty are not affected by the character's gender, only the female version of Eivor still does not have an official trailer video, but only through a few individual photos.
Explaining this, Ubisoft said that they still have much to introduce about the female Eivor, because it will still be a long time before Assassin's Creed Valhalla launches. Why is the male version being preferred first, it is due to gamers' hobby, because according to statistics, the number of gamers choosing Alexios in Odyssey is twice as much as Kassandra. Ubisoft also ignored the criticism about distorting history or the issue of female Viking warriors appearing at the time, but this is not important in a game like Assassin's Creed.
Real money trading system?
The fact that Assassin's Creed has a shop to buy items with real money is no stranger, Odyssey and Origins both have XP-boosting items, or a bunch of rare costumes and accessories for gamers to collect. Games. There is a lot of criticism about this especially when players can buy XP packs to speed up the level, but in 2018, Ubisoft said they did not see the difference in game difficulty among people. Spend money to buy things and not buy things in the shop.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla will probably still apply the Odyssey mechanism, which is that it will allow players to explore freely but limited area depending on the level, such as level 4, you will definitely not be able to enter much. areas where level 20 enemies are. It's unclear whether Assassin's Creed Valhalla will continue to put in real money, but Ubisoft said that they want gamers to be able to experience the game comfortably, i.e. within the main storyline you will not Must plow or find items to be able to cross screen bosses.
The content is the largest but the map is not
If only considering the size of the map, Assassin's Creed Valhalla will not be equal to the previous games, but its content will likely be the most massive. Players will have a total of 4 kingdoms to explore - currently England and Norway, as well as more content in the future.
Another thing that Assassin's Creed Valhalla wants to avoid is the monotony, because the actual map in the recent 2 Assassin's Creed games is Origins and Odyssey very large but quite repetitive. Players only revolve around going to a certain barracks, killing soldiers, looting items and repeating the same throughout the game. Only 6% of gamers who complete the trophy open 100% of the maps in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, so Ubisoft wants Assassin's Creed Valhalla to make the most difference between the scenery and the environment.
Because the game featured a Viking invasion of England, Assassin's Creed Valhalla development team wanted to describe the culture of that period as much as possible. Moreover, when a player starts to build a territory, it will mean cultural integration over time. Each region and city will have different people, architectures and religions to ensure the most perfect player experience possible. Assassin's Creed Valhalla does not want to repeat the mistake of opening the map and plowing the hoe like the previous two parts, but specifically how we still have to wait.
It is not clear whether PvP mode or not
Last year when rumors of Assassin's Creed Valhalla leaked out, many people had faint guessed that this next game would take place in the Viking setting, city building and character options. Some of them are correct, but Ubisoft hasn't said anything about PvP right now, like players can attack and take each other's territory.
One thing that will make fans happy, Assassin's Creed Valhalla will allow players to fight with the gods in Norse mythology like the previous two versions, we still do not know the list but that is more than enough to expect. Finally Assassin's Creed Valhalla will release on schedule, there will be no delays due to disease like many other games.
