A strong 30-minute chunk of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gameplay has leaked, exhibiting some nice horse using by way of the game’s open world, some cinematic naval fight, and our first correct take a look at the feminine model of the principle character, Eivor, in motion.
The leaked footage popped up on Reddit yesterday and, slightly unsurprisingly, was swiftly taken down. It wasn’t eliminated shortly sufficient, nonetheless, as there are nonetheless loads of movies of the leak (just like the one beneath) should you fancy looking for your self:
Naturally, these vids are receiving copyright strikes from Ubisoft nearly as quickly as they seem, so it’s totally attainable that one is perhaps gone earlier than I even hit publish on this text. Fans are always importing copies of the footage although, all it takes is a fast seek for “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla leak” on YouTube to discover a new one.
The footage kicks off with some Witcher-esque horse using, full with run-down villages and shock assaults from some wild wolves. It’s price noting that is from a work-in-progress model – it does straight-up say it within the backside proper of the video, and that does appear to indicate within the behaviour of some NPCs.
After a bit extra operating round and some important-sounding conversations, Eivor takes to her longboat amongst a fleet of different ships, all on their option to start an assault on Burgh Castle over right here in England. We get to see a little bit of crusing right here, which, on this mission not less than, principally revolves round dodging a barrage of flaming arrows.
When they arrive on the citadel, the Vikings make fast work of the gates with an enormous previous battering ram, earlier than dispatching a load of these pesky English troopers to achieve the large boss. There are some climbing sections throughout this half that jogged my memory that that is, in actual fact, an Assassin’s Creed game. Upon reaching the highest of the citadel there’s a climactic battle with the aforementioned boss, on the finish of which Eivor is given the selection of whether or not or to not end off her opponent.
It all appears fairly cinematic to me, and an excellent enchancment over Ubisoft’s last attempt at showing us “gameplay” within the not-actually-gameplay trailer above.
Ubisoft haven’t stated something in regards to the leaks simply but, nevertheless it’s possible we’ll be listening to extra about all this gameplay stuff throughout Sunday’s Ubisoft Forward stream.
