Assassin Of Madness @knightmadness Can't put into works how hyped I am for #AssassinsCreedValhalla this mythology run through by @darbymcdevitt is brilliant, and it got me wondering will there be any Arthurian legends, like a sword in the stone. Round table I could think of more lol
Darby McDevitt @darbymcdevitt What wonderful ideas...
Messerspritz 🇬🇧 @messerspritz will we be able to sail our longboat along the River Thames? That’s got to be a massive river! #AssassinsCreedValhalla
Darby McDevitt @darbymcdevitt Yes indeed.
Adib Ahmed @adib_ahmed Is the color scheme of orange-brown very common in ACV as seen in the demo gameplay footage or does it completely depend on the time of day and weather?
Darby McDevitt @darbymcdevitt We divided the country into seasons for the sake of biome diversity, so the middle of the country is very autumnal, while the north is wintry and the south is spring / summer. You'll see a ton of visual variety, in other words.
Assassins Creed UK @assassins_UK After a long hike, we finally made it to Kinder Downfall! Now, a short rest at the edge of the waterfall before going fishing! #GreetingsFromEngland #ACValhalla

Jon Ingold @joningold Not that England existed at the time of course
Darby McDevitt @darbymcdevitt Not as a country, but I found a few references to England as a "continent" in my research.
Jon Ingold @joningold Really? Ha. I thought Britain was more frequently used tho. Anyway much love and I don’t mean to nitpick except we’re very pro Welsh and Scottish over here at inkle
Darby McDevitt @darbymcdevitt We made sure to preserve the seething hatred that Mercia has for Wessex. Have no fear.
Wolf6475 (Endless Summer) @wolf6475 Will we get to see the River Ouse in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla? I'm from York and I'm super excited to see Jorvik/York in AC:V. I love researching the Viking age so I'm excited for this game.
Darby McDevitt @darbymcdevitt Yes! I loved visiting York while researching this game. We spent a few days at the Viking museum taking notes and pictures.

Maybe some news about Beyond Good and Evil 2? after 2 years without anything.
Assassins Creed UK @assassins_UK The holidays are over, but we had such a great time! We hope you enjoy our final picture from our Viking trip to England. Want to see it all with your own eyes? Next departure leaves on 17th November #GreetingsFromEngland #AssassinsCreedValhalla
Maybe some news about Beyond Good and Evil 2? after 2 years without anything.
I'm not even gonna dare to hope!
It's crazy how many Assassin's Creed games they have launched since they announced Beyond.

AccessTheAnimus @accesstheanimus The ESRB has published the rating for #AssassinsCreed Valhalla (M for Mature) - and its description contains new details about the game.
Col: When can the feign death ability be used, and how does it work?
Eric: The Feign Death ability can be used anytime once you have acquired it. It will make Eivor fall to the ground and fake death. You can use it anywhere: in the middle of the fight, in the street, even alone in the wilderness if you want. Outside of the strategic advantage to escape a fight or to lure an enemy toward you to assassinate them, the fun part of this ability is to play with enemies’ and civilians’ reactions. Be careful though, as you might not be able to fool someone twice.
Col: Assassin's Creed Valhalla brings back Social Stealth, and adapts it in a new way. What tools are available to players who wish to approach the game from a stealth perspective?
Eric: As a Viking during this time period, Eivor is not welcome into the different towns and villages of England. The cloak you can wear allows you to pass undetected within the crowd and avoid guards’ attention.
When using your cloak, you have as well a variety of tools at your disposal: Eivor can use civilian workstations to stay undetected when a guard patrol comes nearby, you can trick drunkards to create chaos and lure guards away from their position, and the last tool is a reference to the first Assassin’s Creed; blending into crowds in order to pass gatekeepers unnoticed.
Col: Can Eivor eat, drink, sleep and bathe?
Eric: In fact, Eivor can nearly do all of that.
Eating is becoming a very important element, as you’ll need to eat food to regain some health. Collecting berries or hunting animals for food is essential for your survival. You can also eat mushrooms in the wilderness but there could be some risks there…
Eivor can also sleep in the settlement to regenerate some health and wake up later in the day. In the settlement and in cities and villages you’ll be able to drink and even participate in some drinking challenges.
The only element you cannot do is bathe, but if you feel the need to refresh yourself after a fight you can jump at anytime in water and it will do the job of removing all blood splatters on you.
Assassin's Creed FR @assassinsfr Lame, épée, arc, ou même bouclier, l'arsenal viking d'Eivor est bien rempli ! Blade, sword, bow, or even shield, Eivor's Viking arsenal is full!
Mass Effect Trilogy, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect Andromeda, Mass Effect Legendary Edition
♆ Dorian Falero-Ocasio♆ @boricua_Istari Your writing, your research, and contributions to the franchise are amazing, Darby. I have a question:
Might we see or hear about King Arthur? His role in the Order of the Ancients, and a possible....Sword of Eden? 🤣😮
Thank you.
Darby McDevitt @darbymcdevitt It would be a strange oversight if we didn't at least allude to his impact on England, no?
No alluding I want to be able to find Excalibur!!!!!!
How hard is it to put a sword in a rock?
