Assassin's Creed Valhalla is on course to be the biggest launch title for Next Gen consoles.
Here's what we can work out about the plot of the upcoming Ubisoft smash.
Location
We know the location for Assassin's Creed Valhalla thanks to a special reveal video of a live drawing for the game.
With rolling hills and icy mountains, we are not only heading to Norway, but also to the English kingdoms!

Trailer
The reveal trailer arrived on Thursday, 30 April 2020, which allowed us to get a greater feel of the setting.
Plot
Of course, it's difficult to guess what the plot of the game could be, but it looks to be the Viking invasion of Britain.
The narrator in the trailer is believed to be King Alfred the Great, who dealt with the Vikings during the 9th Century.
REVEAL YOURSELF – Is this King Alfred the Great?
He finally made an agreement with the Vikings, but not after significant bloodshed.
The official Ubisoft site reads:
In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you are Eivor, a fierce Viking warrior raised on tales of battle and glory.
Explore a dynamic and beautiful open world set against the brutal backdrop of England’s Dark Ages.
Raid your enemies, grow your settlement and build your political power in your quest to earn your place among the gods in Valhalla.

Possible ending?
No, this does not contain spoilers, but using history we can start guessing the climax to Valhalla.
There was a continuous tug of war between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings during the 1st Century AD.
