Hope they get whoever wrote Odyssey far, far away from this.

It's less or more the same team that worked on Black Flag and Origins (Ubi Montréal) and not the one that worked on Odyssey (Ubi Québec).

From Eurogamer:

We haven't touched on Valhalla's main character Eivor in great detail, though partly this is due to Ubisoft avoiding plot spoilers and partly because, more than ever, I get the feeling we'll be crafting our own version of this hero as the story progresses. One thing the trailer doesn't tell you is that Eivor can be played as either male or female, and that your choice of gender is only part of the customisation you'll get. Beards, tattoos and war paint options will be available to pick from. Your gear will also be customisable, Laferrière says, as will your Viking longboat. (Oh, and you get a Viking longboat.) Why does the trailer focus on the male version of Eivor only, I asked? The answer, as was the case with Odyssey's Kassandra and Alexios, is that the marketing will "showcase both at different points".

As for the raven, as many players have guessed, it will be your animal companion in Valhalla, just as eagles were in previous games. "We have a bunch of new abilities for the raven," Laferrière teases. "We used it as a reason to re-explore the way players can explore the world so it is less reliant on UI. If you notice a distraction somewhere it's probably because there's some content there."[/i

One thing Ubisoft is willing to pin down for long-time fans is a continuation of the franchise's overall arc for those engaged in that - meaning more backstory on the First Civilisation, and a third outing for present day character Layla (whose story suddenly got interesting in Odyssey's final expansion). "We've found a way to blend the present day into a new type of experience for players," Laferrière concludes. "And present day is playable - I can confirm that."

I don't know if I should be happy or sad about how Layla is more involved, considering my opinion of her after the Fate of Atlantis DLC.

They trailer shows the character with different face paint and it's confirmed you can customize it. It also shows throwing Javelin/spear, shield, duel wield axes...I can already see the AC purist going apeshit over it "Not my AC game!".

From Eurogamer:
As Laferrière speaks, he describes the settlement as a place of importance in Valhalla reminiscent of Skyhold and the Normandy, which players returned to time and again.

Ubisoft totally decided to stole BioWare's niche. They aren't even hiding it anymore.

More:

This mention of having friends along for the ride makes me wonder if there was any truth to rumours Valhalla might dabble with co-op play (which has not returned after a shaky effort in 2014's Unity). Ubisoft has confirmed to me this isn't the case - although some kind of interactivity seems to be on the cards. "Valhalla is a single player game," a Ubisoft spokesperson clarified, "with many online components, encouraging players to share their progress and creativity". One thing Ubisoft is willing to pin down for long-time fans is a continuation of the franchise's overall arc for those engaged in that - meaning more backstory on the First Civilisation, and a third outing for present day character Layla (whose story suddenly got interesting in Odyssey's final expansion). "We've found a way to blend the present day into a new type of experience for players," Laferrière concludes. "And present day is playable - I can confirm that."

At least we can use that quote when people start bashing Bioware, since other developers look to them for inspiration. ^_^

As for Layla, maybe. But even if it is, that's still a whole game having to support a character I want to fail because she is a despicable human being.
