During the cinematic trailer that Ubisoft has shown, it was possible to see a open field battle in which the protagonist himself, armed with an ax in each hand
In addition to the brute force of the two axes, one of the most iconic weapons in the series has made an appearance: it is the hidden sheet, a device that for reasons of lore had not appeared in the franchise since Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and now it comes back in a Nordic style with the blade above the forearm, instead of below.
It is also confirmed that this game get back to RPG mechanics like the two previous installments of the saga (Assassin's Creed: Origins and Assassin's Creed: Odissey), with great importance of Viking looting against Saxon fortresses and troops not only to gain wealth but also to prosper your settlement and consolidate your political power.
