It doesnt mean its def cgi, if thats what you mean. It could be ingame cutscenes. I hope so because cgi will be a bit of a letdown

I played Odyssey as Kassandra, as it was by far the better designed character. The VA was much superior too, and she had this "Wonder Woman" quality about her.

Hopefully the male character will be much better this time around because to me it would make more sense to play as a male Viking.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Trailer is amazing, game looks incredible. Can't wait!

I had a lot of fun with Odyssey. I never finished it, but I dropped a solid 50hrs into it. It whores you out in some ways, but the gameplay mechanics are top-notch and the fights were epic. If Valhalla comes to UPlay+ I'll definitely be interested in paying for a month to play it.

Haha, what a fucking bullshit trailer,
They murder and kill blindly-- show vikings letting a woman and child live.

Who's fucking leg are they pulling here. They came to conquer, enslave rape and sack England.
I surprised they don't have a scene with them group hugging some monks as well.

Vikings were nasty fuckers, nothing more, nothing less.

i'm watching Last Kingdom Season 4 at the moment and i would buy this instantly even if i'm no a huge AC fan.

Since i'm a sucker for Viking Stuff, it would be interesting to know how much they'll implement. ALso which timeline? First Landing of the vikings under Ragnar? Great Heathen Army under his Sons? Or much much later?

Assassins Creed could be a better saga if they put out the shitty Desynchronization thing when you kill civilians
They dropped that entirely in the two newest games. The only way to "desynchronize" is to lose all of your health.
 
Trailer was interesting up until the iconic armblade wink to tell you its from Assassin's Creed franchise.

I have a theory that people don't actually give a shit about the Assassin's Creed pillars, the idea of being an assassin, the hooded main, the armblades, or the modern day bs that infects the story, so much as people just want to play high production well polished action RPG in period places and themes, and they know Assassin's Creed generally delivers on that despite the iconic shit that tries to bog it down.

Personally, I think Ubisoft should rename the series Warriors Creed and just drop half the bs and make it straight up action RPGs taking place in an interesting place and time. That is what is drawing people in anyway and they can drop the iconic bullshit that doesn't fit and only hamstrings what they are allowed do to with the games.

Terrible song choice as is usual the case with these types of trailers. And as expected visually it's heavilly influenced by the mainstream, cliche and unauthentic tv series The Vikings. Meh.

Cool looking trailer, like watching an episode of Vikings.

Thing is it gives me absolutely zero Assassin's Creed vibes even with the
hidden blade at the end
