Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be Shorter than Odyssey

Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be shorter and smaller than some other Assassin's Creed games. I was pretty downhearted to read this news, but many complained about the "bloated nature" of Odyssey compared to the more compact Origins. Personally I loved the more epic scope and did not mind the game taking 128 hours to finish. 

Like many though I would agree that the Atlantis DLC was painfully slow and padded out. 

The decision was revealed by Ubisoft Middle East head of communications, Malek Teffaha on Twitter (as translated by VG247 and confirmed by IGN): “FYI, it won’t be the longest or biggest game in the series. They addressed criticism on this one."

Hopefully this will mean the game still stands at 40+ hours to finish everything like Origins. I remain optimistic. 

Assassin's Creed Valhalla

If you haven't seen it yet here is the trailer for the much anticipated Assassin's Creed Valhalla.  

Much like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, you will be able to choose between a male and female character. The game shall also take place across multiple kingdoms, each very different in style. The co-op aspect that was rumoured has yet to be confirmed but I remain optimistic and excited. 

As a viking warrior you will take command of a clan that will clash with the Saxons in war. You will be able to shape your warrior through "advanced rpg mechanics" Ubisoft states that "With every choice you make, from political alliances and combat strategy to dialogue and gear progression, you will carve your own path to glory,"

Along with boats, outfit and settlement customisation, there is plenty to look forward to.
