Join me as I take a look at everything I learned about Assassin's Creed Valhalla while playing over 6 hours of the game. I dig deep into Assassin's Creed Valhalla gameplay, including combat, stealth, the settlement, character customization, exploration, and more.

If you’ve kept your ear to the ground, you know there’s a lot of information out there about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. But after playing the game for 6 full hours, it became very clear very quickly, that there’s a lot in this game that we haven’t yet seen. And those are the things I focus on in this video. So if you’re hungry for some new information about the first Assassin’s Creed game in over 2 years, you’re in the right place. I want to thank Ubisoft for the opportunity, and with that out of the way, I hope you’ll join me as I dive deep into 19 new things I discovered while playing 6 hours of Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
The world is more beautiful than we last saw
After seeing East Anglia, the flat and bland region we saw in the previous Valhalla demo, I was worried the game would lack the verticality and diversity that made Odyssey so fun to explore. But those fears are thankfully gone. Now, I still wasn’t as impressed with England as I was with Ancient Greece, but the region I was able to explore, called of Mercia, was filled with enough different landscapes to keep me interested. I encountered boulder laden foothills, colorful fields, and this vista, which was particularly spectacular. I also saw in the distance a range of snow capped mountains, and Ubisoft did confirm that these are a separate explorable biome. I also found many cliffsides and even buildings that were fun to climb and surpassed anything we saw in East Anglia in terms of height. Plus, there were plenty of underground locations as well.
Don’t expect any Valhalla to hold your hand
You might have heard that Valhalla expands on Exploration Mode from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which required you to find objectives by investigating clues instead of following waypoints. This is true, but what I learned during my time with Valhalla is that it takes Exploration Mode to the next level, and I love it. First off, some main objectives are revealed in the same way. In one example, I had to find a crypt, and my only clue was that it was located at the meeting of two rivers. So, I opened my map, found the rivers, and sailed on down. Now, some objectives are directly marked with waypoints, and if they look like this, things are pretty straightforward. But if the waypoint features a question mark, well, you might have to do some searching. Here, I arrived at the waypoint, only to find, well, nothing. After scratching my head, I took to the skies with my raven and found the person I was looking for was perched atop a nearby tower. Again, the game did not tell me this, and I found the quest more rewarding for it. Valhalla also has other ways of guiding you in the right direction, without giving things away outright. Here your raven’s vision reveals the general location of an objective, and when you get closer, the pulse of Odin's’ Sight will reveal your it’s location with even more precision. But even then, you might still have to figure out how to get to that glowing marker because it’s either behind a locked door, or underground. And this leads me to my next topic.
