Assassin's Creed Valhalla

You play as Eivor, a Viking who leads a clan from Norway to England in search of a place to settle. There, Eivor navigates conflicts among local kingdoms and works to expand the clan’s influence.

Explore a large open world on foot, horseback, or by longship; raid villages and fortifications with your crew; and fight with a mix of weapons, abilities, stealth, and close combat. The journey also includes regional stories, mysteries, hunts, and encounters with members of the Order of the Ancients.

Develop Eivor through gear and skill progression, make choices in dialogue and political alliances, and build up the Ravensthorpe settlement with new structures. Norse mythology features in supernatural storylines alongside the clan’s conflicts in England.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its Viking setting, detailed landscapes, exploration, and forceful combat, especially raids and experimenting with weapons. Some also value growing the settlement and finding stories and activities across the world. Reviews are sharply mixed on the long campaign: some appreciate the amount to explore, while many others find the alliance arcs and map activities repetitive or overextended. Several reviewers also report crashes or other technical problems.
