Speaking to Eurogamer, Ubisoft Montreal Level Designer David Bolle detailed the settlement in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ravensthorpe. Everything from the Aviary where the player’s raven can be customized to the tattooist was detailed, and in Ravensthorpe, Bolle confirmed that there will be Assassin bureaus. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Adds Sisterhood Crest Tattoo Technically speaking, it is a Hidden Ones bureau where AC Valhalla protagonist Eivor can pick up assassination targets....

Syria has become an international pariah. It is currently subjected to financial sanctions put in place by the United States and the European Union and has been alienated by Gulf states for years. These factors have forced Assad to reconsider the geopolitical realities of the Middle East, and he may see opportunity in the fact that several Arab states’ decisions to normalize ties with Israel have been celebrated by the international community....

The first, and easily most exciting game included in Xbox’s free weekend is Activision’s recently released Call of Duty: Vanguard. While technically separate from the other games on the list, Activision is still making the multiplayer for Call of Duty: Vanguard entirely free for the weekend. This is Activision’s most-recent standalone release in the Call of Duty franchise, so a full free weekend of multiplayer is quite surprising. RELATED: Xbox Game Pass Adding 12 New Games This Week...

Despite Assassin’s Creed’s largely Eurocentric settings and story threads, the franchise does have plenty of lore established for Latin America. It goes back to the Age of Discovery when the Assassins first landed in the Americas and made contact with natives. From here, there are a handful of small stories covering native civilizations that the franchise should explore further in the future. What’s more, South America seems like one of the most important places for the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and could be the staging ground for an Assassin victory in the modern day....

Luckily, a New Game Plus mode awaits those who are willing to test their skills again in new and challenging ways.

Last year, some players reported bugs in the Yuletide quests in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, but this year they are running smoothly. However, a new issue arose this year in which players had trouble triggering the Yule Festival at all. This seems to have only occurred to some of those who have played the festival last year, and Ubisoft is aware of the issue with updates promised. Like last year, this event comes with two seasonal quests, three activities for earning tokens, and plenty of seasonal items to snag with these tokens....

Players are recommended to set the combat difficulty to easy as this will allow the longship to destroy boats with one hit. But finding a group of five boats is harder than it sounds. Valhalla players should head to Mercian Tower, east of Botolphston in Lincolnscire. The open water heading west into the river by Botolphston should have enough boats for players to destroy for the Row Rage Trophy/Achievement....

Seek Out Sichfrith By following the marker, it won’t be hard to find prince Sichfrith as he sits at a table where a board game similar to chess is resting....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has broken traditions in the franchise, ranging from everything including common naming conventions to operating as a direct prequel and sequel to Assassin’s Creed 3. This is because of how it sets up Connor’s tribe yet continues the modern day story (albeit in a roundabout way). These connections are nothing new for the franchise, but this one is more deeply involved than others. Yet, it’s the fact that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla takes place primarily in England that truly stands out....

To answer that question, several news outlets have been able to get their hands on Astral Chain early and provide an idea of how long it will take for the average player to beat it. As far as Platinum’s titles go, it’s looking like Astral Chain falls near the shorter end, offering a relatively brisk experience more in line with something like the Bayonetta series instead of, say, NieR: Automata....

The cute platformer, starring Astro of Astro Bot Rescue Mission fame, will likely be player’s first exposure to the power of their new PlayStation console, and while games that are packed-in with consoles are sometimes lacking in any meaningful content, it seems the game has played an instrumental role within Sony’s marketing strategy. In fact, it was recently reported that Astro’s Playroom played a major role in the design of the PS5’s controller, the DualSense....

Messi was an unused substitute in Argentina’s 2-1 win over holders Chile in their opening Group D match in Santa Clara, California on Monday after a back injury but could reappear when they face Panama in Chicago. Both sides have three points after Panama marked their first appearance in the world’s oldest international tournament with a surprise 2-1 win over Bolivia, who face Chile in Foxborough on Friday. “You can work a lot to build a team, but against Messi there’s nothing you can do....

Shankar made the announcement through his own Facebook page, where he revealed the series will be telling a wholly original story. Aside from that minor detail, not much else was disclosed – not the network it will premiere on or even its title. Being a fan of Assassin’s Creed, Shankar expressed his surprise and delight by the recent development. While Shankar states that Ubisoft approached him with the project, the company hasn’t made any kind of announcement of its own, which could mean the show in the very early stages of production....

Veteran gamers are likely aware the vast majority of every Assassin’s Creed game takes place in the past, with the occasional jump to the future at act breaks. The film plans to flip that formula over and spend more than half of the time in the present timeline and make visiting the 15th century Spain timeline just around 35% of the running time. This decision is pretty surprising and the team behind the film is already responding to questions and explaining the creative choice....

As indicated in the trailer below, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Legacy of the First Blade will use its first episode, “Hunted”, to introduce players to the story of Darius, the killer of the Persian king Xerxes in the series’ lore, and the first assassin to use the franchise’s iconic hidden blade. “Hunted” will be available for download starting on December 4, 2018, and is set to be the initial episode out of three for the Legacy of the First Blade DLC....

Entitled “The Serpent’s Lair”, this Assassin’s Creed Odyssey quest has the main character dress up as a cultist in order to infiltrate the antagonist organization. While this quest is mechanically straightforward, but story heavy, there seems to be a problem occurring with some players. It’s worth mentioning that this is not happening to everyone, but some are reporting becoming stuck in this cultist garb after the completion of the quest....

After some severe allegations of sexism from high ranking figures in Ubisoft, the company has decided to start looking in a new direction in terms of equality within the company, as well as the products they put out. Many workers were forced to submit female characters such as Amunet into the sideline for games because they were told that “women don’t sell well,” along with other egregious acts.

RELATED: 10 Shows To Watch If You Like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Ubisoft doesn’t take historical accuracy lightly, and while there are a few things about the game many considers inaccurate, this is mostly only done for artistic liberty. On the other side, however, it is incredibly impressive how Ubisoft Montreal made this game out to be as accurate as possible, especially where the Vikings are concerned. 10 Currency The currency in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is as accurate as they come....
