Assassin\u2019s Creed dev reveals more new Valhalla gameplay features UbisoftAssassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla is gearing up to be one of the most customizable entries in the franchise, according to Ubisoft creative director Ashraf Ismail, who has revealed new details on the 2020 title\u2019s gameplay. Following the success of 2018\u2019s Assassin\u2019s Creed Odyssey, the upcoming twelfth entry in the franchise will depict a journey through the Viking age. According to Ismail, Valhalla will be taking things up a notch with customization. From refining your combat preferences to the altering appearance of protagonist Eivor, there will be plenty of new options to choose from in the 2020 title. \u201cWe wanted players to play the game as they want,\u201d he said in a May 13 interview with Washington Post. When the game launches in late 2020, you\u2019ll be able to mix match armor pieces in \u201cfive separate\u201d categories as per usual. However, players will also be allowed to \u201cswap the look of a piece of gear.\u201d If one piece of armor has a buff that compliments your playstyle, but another piece has a far more appealing look, you can simply swap out the visual appearance. Additionally, when armor is upgraded throughout the adventure, \u201cthat gear also changes visual,\u201d he confirmed. While the new protagonist will also come with changeable tattoos and war paint, players can still expect to tweak the usual hair color and style too. Breaking down Valhalla\u2019s upgraded combat systems, Ismail highlighted a new level of customization on that end as well. \u201cAt a certain point, you can gain skills that allow you to wield two-handed weapons in a single hand, and then combine two of them if you want.\u201d Dual-wielding two devastating heavy weapons? Such is the Viking way now in Assassin\u2019s Creed. From heavy weapons to light axes and even shields, it looks as though players will be able to dual wield absolutely everything in Valhalla. There\u2019s no date set in stone for the next Assassin\u2019s Creed just yet, but players can expect to learn all about Eivor\u2019s story in the fourth quarter of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
