Assassin's Creed: Valhalla: These two features are back

For the new Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, the developers have obviously given a lot of thought, including the popular features of earlier parts, which are now celebrating their return.

As we have already seen from the trailers, the Assassin Blade celebrates her return in Valhalla. In Odyssey, the weapon only existed in the form of a skill, and in Origins it was hardly suitable for quickly knocking out opponents. This is supposed to be different again in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.

So you get the blade early in the game, even if Eivor is not a trained assassin. Instead, Eivor first has to learn how to use the blade. But he gets a technique very early on, with which you can kill almost every opponent with one stitch if the timing is right. Creative Director Ashraf Ismail at least confirmed this in an interview with Kotaku.

Another feature that comes back into play is hiding in crowds – "Social Stealth" should play a role again with a new twist that has not yet been described. The idea that Eivor was hiding in the crowd in a place where he wasn't wanted would make sense, Ismail said. We are excited to see how the whole thing is implemented in the game.
