Two of Ubisoft’s creative directors have given fans an inside look at Eivor’s ambiguous identity and a hint at a possible Hidden Ones connection within 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassins Creed Valhalla. The pair also touched on an interlaced story 𝔍eಞxisting within the main narrative.
Speaking exclusively with GameStop before Ubisoft Forward, narrative director Darby McDevitt and assistant level design director Laurence Letalien provided insight into Valhalla’s main protagonist and narrative. Covering various topics such as character romances and reactive decision making, McDevitt and Letalien stated that the player’s ability to alternate between female and male Eivor was what amazed them most. They added that this switch could be made at any point throughout play and hinted that the feature was attached to one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:“major mysteries” of Valhalla.
Whether you choose to play as a man or woman, the player will always control Eivor who already carries personality traits before the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:player makes any in-game decisions. Contrary to other video game protagonists, Eivor is already established as a pro in his or her realm with expertise and morals. The player won’t see Eivor’s journey to gain legendary status, as legend is what Eivor is already known as. With the character established, McDevitt then explained how the developers wanted to give players a choice of whether to play as male or female Eivor. Referring to the fans appreciation of the Animus, it was decided that the idea behind the machine 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:would carry on in Valhalla.
The twelfth addition to the AC franchise will rely on past events to drive the narrative forward in Valhalla, much like the former Brotherhood and Syndicate. Insteaꦬd of introducing new mechanics and lore, the directors explained that the history of the series will be threaded through the main narrative that will color Eivor’s story, justify game mechanics while adding insight into🧸 the origin of the Brotherhood.
Both director’s then explained how Eivor’s narrative will include pockets of the Hidden Ones’ history and how they evolved into the Assassin Brotherhood. This organization first appeared in Egypt - founded by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa and his wife Aya during 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:AC: Origins - as the first official Assassin Brotherhood. Their mission was to protect the free will of the people and to stand against oppression and injustice. The Hidden Ones only orchestrated assassin🎀ations upon the e🎃nemy and were opposed to harming innocents. They eventually re-organized and relocated in the northern mountains of Persia where they renamed themselves as the Assassins.
