With Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ubisoft is not going to deprive itself of declining the Viking universe in all sauces by offering derivative products and cross-media. In addition to the game that will make us embody your choice Eivor as a man or a woman, a novel The story of Geirmund and a three-issue comic book Song of Glory will thus see the light of day. It is the latter that interests us now, since new details about it were given this week through a description, allowing us tolearn more about the family of our new protagonist.
A readable synopsis in English on the page Amazon comics gives the name of the father and brother ofEivor, as well as some details about his past that we will discover in this work (and hopefully also in-game).
The fearless Vikings face their fate in search of glory in this prequel to Ubisoft’s upcoming hit video game, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Tensions escalate when a village caught between two rival kingdoms is brutally attacked. Eivor, warrior and daughter of the wise king Styrbjorn, shoots down the looters, saves the villagers and claims the colony for his father. She also grabs a prisoner – Gull, abandoned by rivals – who claims to possess Asgard’s secrets. But there’s more to Gull than meets the eye, and his capture will result in the death and destruction of Eivor’s family. Disgraced and drawn by the promise of treasures and glory, Eivor sets out on a dangerous quest to regain her honor., but what terror awaits in the forgotten temple of a mighty god? During all this time his brother Sigurd forges his own legend by seeking fortune in the lands of the East. Far from home, he finds new weapons and new loot, making a discovery that will change his fate forever …
Besides the fact that the female version will be here “canon”, Eivor therefore has a brother who is arguably the character on the cover beside him, the resemblance being striking.
To immerse us in the epic ofEivor, however, we will have to wait a few more months, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla not expected until November 17 on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions once those consoles are released. You can pre-order it from € 55.99 on Amazon.
