It’s unclear how long stocks will last, so don’t miss out if you want this slick Ubisoft adventure.
Valhalla is the twelfth (yes, really) instalment of the hugely successful Assassin’s Creed series.
You play as a Viking who takes part in brutal raids on English towns and villages during the 9th Century.
According to game maker Ubisoft, gameplay is “visceral and brutal” to reflect the violence of the raids in the real world.
“Fight brutal battles, lead fiery raids or use strategy and alliances with other leaders to bring victory,” the firm writes on its website.
“Every choice you make in combat and conversation is another step on the path to greatness.”
Like previous games in the franchise, the new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is partly inspired by real-world history.
Players take control of Eivor, a Viking raider raised to be a fearless warrior.
Rather than being entirely set in the Viking homeland of Norway, the game will take place in England in large parts.

Historically, England was a popular nation to raid due to its close proximity – a short hop across the ocean.
Eivor must lead his clan of battle-hardened warriors from icy desolation in Norway to a new home amid the lush farmlands England.
“Driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources in the ninth century AD, players will lead Eivor’s clan of Norsemen across the icy North Sea to the rich lands of England’s broken kingdoms,” Ubisoft explained.
“As the Vikings begin to settle in their new home, they encounter resistance from the Saxons including King Aelfred of Wessex, who denounces them as heathens and looks to be the sole ruler of a civilised England.
“Against all odds, Eivor must do what is necessary to keep Valhalla within reach.”
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was released on November 10 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
And it’s also available on the new PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
