Assassin's Creed Valhalla's first trailer is entirely CG, but if you want to actually see how the game looks in-engine, then you've come to the right place. Ubisoft has released a slew of screenshots that show off various parts of the upcoming PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 title. It's unclear which version these pictures are based on, but it's highly likely that they've been prettied up anyway.
Here are some lovely looking locations:
Some characters:
A bit of combat:
And a brief look at some of the equipment you'll find in the game:

Okay it's VERY pretty and I know I have been negative about AC in general, and it's highly likely they've been enhanced, but I'm a sucker for northern lights.
Sure it looks pretty and I hope itll be a great game. But I'm still expecting a Unity sized ballsup come release...
Would be cool if they implemented For Honor's controls into this.
First pic looks like he's just arrived in Velen for the first time.
Looks absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see gameplay.
@Matroska Na, there's no corpses hanging from the tree.
I wish it wasn’t connected to the AC games. I’ve lost interest after the 2nd games spin offs. Played a bit of Syndicate, and I just don’t care about the whole Templar/Assassins thing. I’d rather have an awesome Vikings games about Vikings. Not assassins and abstergo.
N.i.c.e.screenshots game looks good.word up son
It'll look even better once it's covered in hints and waypoint markers
@Matroska My first thought when I saw the pic with the boat and the little isle connected by a small bridge was 'there's a location just like that in the Witcher'.
Looks gorgeous. Have to assume these are series x screenshots given the marketing deal with microsoft
@BearsEatBeets Oh yeah, the place with that wyvern flying around.
No pics of female Eivor though. Going to keep us waiting on that.
Looks great though, had to zoom in to convince myself they weren't paintings.
Love the Viking theme, and these screen shots are REAL impressive. Especially the one with the snowy landscape and the northern lights. Never played an Assassin's Creed game before... this might be the one to finally reel me in!
@kyleforrester87 You always know just what to say.
@Matroska That's the one. Well there is no better place for them to draw inspiration.
Well. I'm sold. I love this setting.
They should stop calling this games AC.
They are pretty much something else.
Love it! I'll pay $60 for this easy
So excited to see what Digital Artist will be able to do on Next Gen hardware.
And hopefully it runs as well as it looks with the extra PS5 horsepower!
@kyleforrester87 u ever try odyssey?
Absolutely hyped for this game!It looks beautiful and I love the whole Vikings theme.
The only thing that will spoil this now is if they announce the present day setting will have a bigger part!
@ellsworth004 yeah it was awesome to be fair. Solid gameplay, tight controls, no bugs.. just honest good fun. Need to get back to it, still have a few more moons to collect.
@ellsworth004 (this might have left you scratching your head in which case I am of course talking about....Mario Odyssey! Yay!)
Yeah—this looks freaking awesome. I need more. Lol.
@kyleforrester87 what other odyssey would i have been talking about???? I kind of like the side scrolling ones better, but the 3d ones are pretty fun too!! 😜
Oké shut up and take my money!!!
Some of the detail on them shots look incredible
Assassin's Creed has always pushed technical boundaries (even if the game is constantly breaking), and this looks to be no different. Next gen is going to be awesome. Really looking forward to this Xbox event next week. First time I've said that in a while 😂😂😂
@kyleforrester87 exactly.
I was thinking of buying Odyssey recently and I watched some gameplay. It looks stunning and I personally love the setting, but the myriad of markers, levels and numbers flying all over the place were a huuuuuuge turn-off for me, alongside the "everything is tied to levels and numbers now". Wanna kill a chicken? Too bad, it's eating you for dinner cause it's 5 levels above you. That's just ridiculous and immersion-breaking in my opinion.
I'll get it in the future when it costs 20€ or so; I'm sure it's a good game in general, but I don't wanna gamble too much on it.
@clvr For what it's worth, you can customise all elements of the HUD in Odyssey — I believe you can remove markers and all that stuff if you want. It can definitely start to look messy when there's a lot going on.
@kyleforrester87
Agreed, awesome game, although I can't remember seeing any northern lights. I can't wait for Super Mario Valhalla in which you can play either play Viking Waluigi or Viking Peach and control Brits with Cappy
@clvr Odyssey is an MMO inspired RPG with Assassin's Creed elements. I really enjoyed it and never had an issue with enemy level because I spent most of my time wondering and doing whatever I want before caring about the main quest. I liked being able to adjust the level so the minimum level for enemies was the same as yours. This way all the drops and quest rewards were for your level, so you don't care about when you complete a quest
But I heard people were hitting brick walls when they were trying to rush the main quest.
@Rhaoulos oh that's certainly reassuring, as I've seen several people online complaining about said brick walls and the paid "speeding up mechanics", and so I was worried the game would just be an endless grind-fest in order to make you spend money on those.
By the way I'm one of those players who like losing theirselves in the world and doing side stuff all the time, rather than necessarily focus on the story, and from what you told me it seems it's a feasible playstyle, good to know.
Side note: I spent 80+ hours in Skyrim and the last story mission I played was reaching the monastery on the top if the mountain, so like the second or third main quest lol 😆
@ShogunRok I didn't know that, thanks!
@clvr I think @Rhaoulos makes a good point. I did the same, really took my time with the game, and never had an issue with the levelling. If you rush through the main story then I can see where people might run into issues, but if you're prepared to spend a lot of hours really exploring the world and doing any side quests that come your way, I think you'll be fine.
@ShogunRok thanks, much appreciated! 😄
Sounds like my playstyle suits this game pretty well, then!
I don't know if anybody said this yet, but it looks like a Skyrim clone to me
@Stragen8 but that is the point of the Assassins Creed series. You are basically saying you want it to lose what makes it unique.
@BearsEatBeets I'm pretty sure the collector's edition shows what she looks like:
