Not long ago we learned that the next installment of the beloved Ubisoft saga would be titled Assassin's Creed Valhalla, inviting players to dive into a convulsive was a Viking where we will play Eivor, a character from the Nordic legends. We knew the name of the game a year ago, thanks to a easter egg in Tom Clancy's The Division 2: In the post apocalyptic game a poster appears where a Viking holds a Fruit of Eden, artifact of the saga Assassin's Creed. However, from Ubisoft they assure that the introduction of this detail it was "a fluke".
Valhalla and the easter egg of The Division 2: a casuality
The narrative director of Ubisoft Montreal, Darby McDevitt, echoed the presence of this curious easter egg – you can take a look under these lines – in a recent interview with Stevivor
"You know what's the craziest thing about all this? That it was a complete coincidence.", expressed in the interview. "It's there (the easter egg) just because The Division 2 it was made in Sweden, and they wanted to put some things there. Whoever the artist was, he just wanted to add something typical of his Nordic culture. But it had nothing to do with us. "
The truth is that it is difficult to think that it has nothing to do with Valhalla: After all, on the poster we can see a Viking holding the aforementioned Fruit of Eden, an object that has starred in the history of Assassin's Creed throughout their years. Also, at the top we can see the word "Valhalla" written
"I don't even think this game had a name at the time"McDevitt continues in reference to the new installment of Assassin's Creed. "We always work with a code name, and we always have several ideas for titles. Finally, we opted for one, but that was very, very fun. The image on the poster has nothing to do with our game. Once you play Valhalla, our game, you will see that it has nothing to do with the pster that was in The Division 2"
Assassin's Creed Valhalla bet very hard on the historical Viking facet
