Assassin’s Creed Valhalla writer Darby McDevitt has teased that the upcoming Dark Ages-set title is unique in its approach to narrative structure, to the point where it’s a standout feature of the game.
Ubisoft Talks Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Narrative Structure
Speaking with GameSpot, McDevitt said the following:
We do approach narrative in this game in a very unique way and I think it will be one of the stand-out aspects of the game – the structure of the narrative. Because the structure of the narrative is different – it relied on structuring story experiences in a way I haven’t seen in any game as far as I can think of – this will definitely be a unique story structure for Assassin’s Creed fans.
But I would even dare say it’s quite unique for any game. I don’t think people have experienced a story in quite this way – how we present it to you, how you consume it – it’s very unique. It relied on being willing to experiment with a different way of presenting information to players and leading you through the world.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is due for release in holiday 2020 for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One.
