Naturally, we were also treated to our first look at our protagonist, a powerful Viking leader as he commands his forces into Britain. It looks like we are getting a tremendous tale as chillingly outlined by the King of Britain during this trailer, a man who wreaks of villain as he outlines his plans to meet force with force against the invading enemy.

The reveal of the combat and the new period elements was awesome. We see the Viking era complete with a bearded axe - documented to be a key weapon of war for the Scandinavians in that time - plus we see some exhilarating fight sequences with the infamous spear and shield all while watching the men fight with classic Viking head gear.

The boats edging closer and closer to land as the Vikings look to invade at night is a gorgeous image, not to mention the reveal of British flaming arrows looks beautiful too.

The calls of Odin send chills down the spine as it triggers thoughts of rich history and lore that could make its way into the story as we explore the world multiple times over.

It's clear now that this is the narrative we are delving into, and frankly, it looks amazing.
