After the announcement of a new Assassin’s creed the network immediately began to draw parallels between Valhalla and God of War in 2018. Some fans believe that the setting of both games is similar, besides, there and there, the Scandinavian gods are involved in the story.
However, Ubisoft is not bothered by comparisons between Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and SIE Santa Monica Studio.
“God of War is great, and yes, I played it,” one of the scriptwriters said. Darby McDevitt in an interview with GameSpot. “She is fantastic. I would not say that we are too concerned, since most games that touch on this topic distort mythology very much. When you play God of War, you can fill Baldur’s face, meet all these characters and travel in fantastic surroundings – that’s what’s highlighted. ”
At the same time, the developer notes that Valhalla focuses more on the historical component than on the mythological.
The new Assassin’s Creed will try to show the life of the Norwegian Vikings in such a way that players feel that they live in the dark ages of England.
“In fact, very few games show the life of the Norse Vikings from a historical point of view. I think that the desire to approach from the mythological side always outweighs, but we want you to feel as if you were living in the dark centuries of England, that you would explore the Roman ruins left 400-500 years ago by the Romans and the remnants of British tribes or even Saxon pagans before they converted to Christianity. “
Ubisoft designs Valhalla in a similar way to Assassin’s Creed Origins, where the appeal to the Egyptian gods was more down to earth, rather than like Odyssey with its Greek pantheon. Moreover, a new game is created by the same team that Origins did.
“We created this huge world so that it can be explored, raided, attacked, met interesting people, but you will do it as a person, as a person who must ride a horse, overcome long distances and get there on foot, not fly or something like that, MacDevitt finished his thought.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be released on Christmas Day 2023 on the PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, PC (in the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store) and Google Stadia.
