One thing is for sure though, the showrunners will have a great deal of source material to pull from, as Ubisoft’s super popular open world adventures runs from Ancient Egypt to Victorian London and everywhere in-between.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the latest entry in the franchise, takes place in tenth century Britain and showcases the Viking invasion.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is set to release on November 10, 2020, for PS4 and PS5.
