Portal Kotaku conducted an interview with Ashraf Ismail, creative director Assassin’s creed valhalla, a new release in the company’s series of historical action movies Ubisoft. As part of the conversation about the upcoming game, a lot was said, some of which we have already heard, while other information is mentioned for the first time. Below we have collected the most important for you.
- AT Assassin’s creed valhalla the developers paid a lot of attention to the artificial intelligence of non-game characters. We are talking about both civilians living in cities and settlements, as well as ordinary opponents. The foundation was taken Assassin’s creed origins, where the NPCs had their own unique daily routine and sequence of actions, as a result of which, depending on many factors, their position in the location could change significantly.
- In particular, the developed artificial intelligence will be noticeable in the framework of the settlement, which Évor will begin to build on new lands. Your personal corner on the map will be populated not by faceless blanks, but by real unique characters, with each of whom you will have your own relationships and each of which has a clearly defined role.
- The structure of many tasks and the overall plot narrative will also undergo major changes. Instead of aimless travels across the continent, Eivor will go on an adventure from his settlement, for example, after hearing about some interesting events in the region or the appearance of prominent people there. Accordingly, many missions will not be directed at all at aimless killings and robbery, but on the contrary, at diplomatic attacks that can end with interesting strategic alliances.
- Management will remain much the same as in Origins and Odyssey. All military operations are tied to triggers and controller shifts, however, a new wheel will be added to them for quick selection of equipment and items.
- Despite the fact that you will have the opportunity to choose the floor of Aivor, the developers are not in a hurry to tell how exactly this will affect the storyline. When asked whether a repetition of the situation with Odyssey (bypassing the spoilers), Ashraf Ismail chose to evade a direct answer.
- The system of general game progress also received corrections and balance. The main goal of the authors “Valhalla“- to avoid situations where you may encounter content that is too tough for you, simply because your character does not have enough skills or appropriate equipment. As for the microtransaction system, it will be in the game, but it’s going to be implemented approach with great attention so as not to force the audience to spend extra money.
- From a historical point of view Assassin’s creed valhalla promises to show the Vikings from various sides. And as formidable conquerors, and as people who gradually adapt and adopt a foreign culture, having settled in new territories.
- The pandemic of a new coronavirus infection did not significantly affect the development cycle. To date, everything is going according to plan, absolutely all the content planned by the authors will fully get into the game.
- Ismail also touched on the issue of the general duration of the future game, around which a certain confusion arose. The development manager did not make direct statements, specifying that he did not see the point of comparing the cards of the various parts of AC exclusively on their scale, but promised that “Valhalla“will be an extremely voluminous game for which you can spend a lot of time.
- Despite the statement above, the key to Ashraf Ismail and his team remains the uniqueness of the content and experiences that he gives. If you plan to spend hundreds of hours playing the game, it is important for the game designer that you do not regret any of them.
Assassin’s creed valhalla go on sale by the end of the year on Playstation 5, Playstation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox one and PC.
