Even Vikings put down roots

Assassin’s Creed Valhallais less than a month away now, so Ubisoft are flinging out details left and right. They’ve made a whole seven minute trailer of them, in fact. The new video talks more about Eivor’s unlockable skills and customising your Viking settlement. They’ve also published the recommended PC specs today, so you can get a gander at those too.

You can also catch a bit about unlocking skills in the video above, including one for siccing your pet wolf on enemies. Yup, looks like you can pet it too. Some skills are found via books out in the world as well. There’s also some bits about visiting Asgard in visions and finding Excalibur, because why be choosey about your historical fantasy when you can have it all? Ubisoft go into plenty more than that in theiralliances post.

Some of the RPS crew have already gotten their hands on Valhalla, so you may like to hear their own deep dives. Ed, for one, thinks itneeds more quest markersbecause Assassin’s Creed games are meant to be swallowed without chewing. Alice B, for her part, says itisn’t really an AC game, which is fine because it’s a pretty swell Viking game.

Ubisoft have also published the PC system requirements for Valhalla. It will require 50GB of storage space, for which they recommend an SSD across the board. Playing at 1080p and 60FPS calls for either an AMD Vega 64 graphics card or GeForce GTX 1080. On the same settings, it asks for a Ryzen 7 1700 3.0 Ghz CPU or i7-6700 3.4 Ghz. As ever, getting all the way up to 4k resolutions on their highest graphical settings requires some sterner stuff. You can find the rest of the specs intheir post.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is launching on theEpic Games Storeand theUbisoft Storeon November 10th.
