Assassin's Creed: Valhalla Trailer Review: 6 Ups & 1 Down

1. "That" Knife Blade

So pretty, so striking, so perfect.

That slow-motion shot as it's revealed that our protagonist warrior has one more trick up his sleeve reminds us as fans just how iconic that knife blade has become.

The return of the legendary knife is done with such drama and purpose, it's arguably the best part of this entire trailer. It looks immaculate in its operation too, the speed at which he uses it suggests it's going to be its smoothest been previously, and so we can gear ourselves up for sleuthing around Britain at a faster pace than ever before as we tear through enemies with ease.

Since its inception in the games the weapon has been a fan favourite, so the deliberate, measured reveal in this trailer shows that the developers understand just how popular and iconic it truly is among fans. It's an exciting ending to a thrilling tussle that seems perilous for our hero, and so seeing the speed at which the tide turns is brilliant.

In short, we can't wait to get to use this bad boy again!

And now to the negative side of things...
