Assassin's Creed Valhalla: EVERY New Detail You Need To Know
8. Your Boat Will Be An Important Tool
As stated before Ubisoft Montreal gained a lot of their popularity after developing the pirate based Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. Some of the best parts of this game were fighting in naval battles, searching for treasure with your crew and generally doing whatever tf you wanted to do on the high seas and it seems like players will be getting all of that again in spades. Fans have been begging for a Black Flag 2 for years and if they didn't choose pirates again, Vikings might be the next best thing.
Viking ships were unique for their time because of their perfect combination of oars, sails, speed, weight and maneuverability. They were designed to be dragged across long distances as well as withstand ferocious storms and since they didn't need a port to dock their accessibility was unparalleled.
Players can customize their ship and crew and will also be able to create a custom raider that they can post online and hire out to other players. Similarly to the pawn system in Dragon's Dogma, your custom raider can join the crew of other Valhalla players and bring back unique weapons and loot into your game.
