Assassin's Creed Valhalla Gameplay Leaks Online

It seems actual Assassin's Creed Valhalla gameplay has now leaked online, and yes, this is the real deal! Details and more here.

[mrsolidsteel20]

Hmm....I have to see a better quality video.

[excaliburps]

Doubt it. Ubisoft is taking it down fast...

[VenomUK]

Assassin’s Creed ‘leaks’ are never leaks, they are nearly always orchestrated by Ubisoft.

[Marquinho]

Ugh... eagle again? What's with those wolves A.I.? 😐

[InMyOpinion]

@Marquinho - What AI? :)

[BeRich233]

a little better https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Sunny_D]

If someone told me this was Assassin’s Creed from the PS3 era, I would have believed them. But then again, I need to see a better quality video.

[Edito]

Thanks for sharing BeRich,

But i think ill skip another AC game... it looks like a current gen game and after seeing this I think that is why they didn't show any gameplay during Microsoft event.

[morganfell]

I wonder if this was an intentional leak to gauge fan reaction? My reaction is not good...for two reasons.

[AmUnRa]

The source video is the trailer, so no gameplay...and on YouTube....its gone.

[xTonyMontana]

aaaannndddd.. it's gone

[RememberThe357]

AC Origins had a fantastic story. Odds are this story will be good too. But it does just look like the current gen games and I can't be impressed by that especially if they want to increase game prices. This isn't it.

[-Foxtrot]

To sum the video up

Ctrl C

Ctrl V

Done

[mrsolidsteel20]

Good point.

I’m really surprised,Ubisoft was allowed to get away with this for so long.

Granted the story in AC is phenomenal, especially Origins.

[mandingo]

Oh dude origins story was boring asf imo.

[Daeloki]

@mrsolidsteel20 No... just no... AC stopped being phenomenal after AC2. I will admit that Black Flag was fun, but mostly because of sea battles. I've also heard good things about Odyssey, but they might as well stop calling it Assassins Creed and just start making fantasy rpg's loosely based on history and mythology.

[RaidenBlack]

Why don't they fork out the RPG entries into a separate franchise? And release that every 2 years or whatever.

And in the meantime bring back the old AC and release it every 4 or 5 years when they deem it significant enough. Quality shall improve drastically.

[xTonyMontana]

Yeah basically the first comment on the one I saw.. Odyssey with Vikings.. not impressed at all.

[GoodGuy09]

@mrsolidsteel20
Oof, origins was very boring lol. I couldn't bring myself to like it at all and just went ahead to odyssey

[seanpitt23]

So true haha

[yoshatabi]

@mrsolidsteel assassin's Creed story was phenomenal? None of them were great with the exception of AC2

[Christopher]

It actually looks worse than Odyssey. Odyssey had more combat elements and this showed only two and never even used dodge, just moving. About halfway through Odyssey, I was using mostly assassin chain abilities in combat not just whacking things with weapons over and over. And then there was the whole archery line of things as well.

I get people want more of the original concepts, but I do like the RPG gameplay as well. But, this Valhalla gameplay just looks bad. I can also see why Ubisoft moved away from the older concepts after doing the same thing over and over for 4 games and getting trashed on it for it.

[MWH]

that's a recipe for SHIFT + DELETE

[RaidenBlack]

Looks like they took Assassins Creed Origins and went all Witcher 3 with it.

[FlavorLav01]

You can still tell a lot about that game despite the poor video quality though. HUDs, skill trees, outfit/weapon upgrades shown, on-rails horse paths, uninspired voice acted NPCs, unrealistic dashy combat mechanics....its all there Solid! Lol

[seanpitt23]

Them NPCs look stiff as a board with no life in them it’s hard to see after coming from playing the last of us 2 even though I hated that story everything else was top grade

[lelo2play]

From the videos, Assassin's Creed Valhalla looks like more of the same.

Ubisoft could explore new avenues for Assassin's Creed franchise, like set it in Asia (Japan, China, etc) or even set it the future (something similar to Blade Runner). They basically use the same formula over and over again...

[seanpitt23]

Yeah it looks like a Ubisoft game... I will pass

[LMosche]

Looks last gen compared to Horizon. Crysis remastered too. PC/Xbox is even more garbage than I thought.

[lelo2play]

Go home. You're drunk.

[starchild]

You're ridiculous. This is clearly a highly unfinished rough build and it's probably the current gen version. Let's wait to see the final game running on the PC and next gen consoles before spouting off.

[Crazyglues]

This game is trash... hard pass....

[masterfox]

not sure why I was expecting something more surprising and appealing , this is just more of the same.

[mrsolidsteel20]

Yea, it is unfortunately.

[RaidenBlack]

Yea, the menu's creed.
Was longing for an OG Assassins Creed Revival .... guess have to wait a bit more till Ubisoft ditches its Carbon Copier and try 're'-innovating.

[ps3rider]

I think the will reveal the gameplay in the JUL event for Xbox. but again it sucks

[DJStotty]

That event is for 1st party, AC Valhalla was shown at the 3rd party event already.

The next time you will see this is at Ubisofts stream (if they are doing one)

[ps3rider]

DJStotty

I have doubt Microsoft will have 1st party exclusive event

[ABizzel1]

They wanted Native 4K they got it. 4K requires at least 4X the GPU power of 1080p system, and it takes 3x the GPU power to double fps. That means we would need a 14 TF GPU to guarantee 4K @ 60fps in every game with slightly above current-gen graphics. Slightly above graphics would consist of global illumination or low - mid level ray tracing, high - ultra quality shadows, more environmental detail (foliage, better clouds, better ground maps, textures), and better particle effects. These are all things that we would notice, but moving from medium to Ultra isn't a next-gen jump.

This is why I keep telling everyone stop worrying about Native 4K and be okay with checkboard rending, dynamic resolution, and Resolution scaling because Native 4K is a waste of GPU power when resolutions over 1440p offer enough clarity that most of you would never know is no Native 4K unless someone told you, however higher FPS and better visuals are clearly noticeable.

[tontontam0]

A typical console gamer will not understand what you are trying to say.

Just wait these people will see that a game targeting native 4k60 will just look like a last gen game @4k60.

[wwinterj]

I never understood "it's more of the same" when it comes to sequels. Isn't that the point of sequels? They have added new story, new gameplay, new settings and well new everything but it's still going to be a Assassins Creed game as that's what it is.

[seanpitt23]

New gameplay haha that’s the same cut and paste job from origins and odyssey I mean look at them physics so average no wonder Ubisoft are taking down videos so quick

[seanpitt23]

That CGI first trailer made you feel like this, it did me making you think this could be the year for innovation with the new next gen consoles in reality it’s the same old rinse and repeat average game from Ubisoft we have seen a thousand times before. Literally just looked like origins and Oydessy with a different Vikings theme.

[Cyb3r]

What platform is this running on?

[anonymousfan]

Youtube (just kidding). Damn it's so blurry I hope we'll PS5 footage next Sunday at the Uplay event.

[BigBosss]

Xbox Series X

[sho0ok360]

Don't think so, read somewhere that it was running on a PC with 1080p.

[Loktai]

Def some kind of XBOX since it is showing XBOX trigger nomenclature on the interface. At least we can say its not a playstation but beyond that... I can only HOPE its running on something current gen, its the only thing that would explain it but it doesnt explain the crappy cartoony gameplay

[RememberThe357]

Probably PC with an Xbox controller

[gigzamillion]

iphone 4

[lelo2play]

Google Stadia

[Twonky888]

Ps4. It said on a Facebook video in Portuguese.

[SeanScythe]

I has a prompt to press Y it's clearly xbox.

[seanpitt23]

They said XBSX but the quality is so bad it doesn’t matter what platform it was running on

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Was expecting something different. This is just more of the same. Still excited though

[wwinterj]

I too was expecting NBA.

[InMyOpinion]

I was expecting a re-skin of Odyssey, which in turn is a re-skin of Origins. Right on the money, the same money I won't be giving to Ubisoft.

[-Foxtrot]

If you are disappointed it looks the same or boring then maybe you’ll realise Origins and Odyssey weren’t that good. They just finally changed the game up and we all thought because it was fresh it meant it was good.

The series isn’t the same anymore, it’s a quickly put together new IP

[mrsolidsteel20]

Well I thought Origin was pretty good, but that’s just my opinion.

Damn you really are a negative person.

[ThereGoThatManQ]

He’s actually right. They stole a lot of their formula from other games and then copy and pasted it the last 6 years in every game

[FlavorLav01]

Origins is a great game held back only by being forced to be an “Assassin Creed” game. In my opinion it would have faired better with its own identity, own title, own story. Like an open-world Ryse: Son of Rome. Tying all these continuous games into such a convoluted narrative for the sake of continuing a series, misses the opportunity to tell new and more meaningful organic stories. Can’t remember actually caring about any of the protagonists or NPCs in any AC game. But the parkour sure is fun lol

[-Foxtrot]

“ Damn you really are a negative person”

Oh here we go, attacks on the user because you don’t like what they are saying

It might be negative and I’m bursting this happy as ever bubble but I’m a realist, doesn’t mean I’m not being truthful.

I’d understand if the gaming industry was sunshine and rainbows but it’s not.

[InMyOpinion]

Origins was good. It had a crap story (as is standard for Ubisoft games) but nice graphics and good gameplay.
Odyssey on the other hand is a step down in all areas from Origins. It even looks worse.

[Greg2801]

The only reason Origins was "Good" is because everything after Black Flag was bad. In my opinion of course.

[boing1]

I find Origins to be much better than Oddysey. It was way more focused. Oddysey was all over the place and it got boring.

[RememberThe357]

Same, I just couldn't care about any of the characters in Odyssey. And the combat changes they've made to the series just wore out after Origins.

[wwinterj]

Origins was great and Odyssey was fun enough. This looks more of the same and that's exactly what I expect with a Assassins Creed title. It's still at the heart the same as the first Assassins Creed only better when it comes to gameplay. It certainly doesn't feel like a new I.P.

[bondsmx]

Personally, I enjoyed origins and odyssey.
Would liked to have seen a little bit more of a gameplay freshen up.

But I’ll buy it. A solid launch title.

[chronoforce]

All assasins creed games follow pretty much the same formula. You gather some intel about your target then you kill your target until you get to the head honcho.

There has arguably never really been much tact to how you can kill your targets and lots of the social stealth elements in prior games ended up being poorly utilised or not expanded upon at all.

At least these new titles function very well as open world action adventure games. Perhaps having nailed that aspect of the game they can revisit the social stealth elements and use them in more interesting ways.

[uncharted56]

Didnt people enjoy both those games? Either way judging a game based of a leaked low quality video seems like jumping the gun when we don't really know what the game actually builds upon compared to last 2 entries.

[Christopher]

***If you are disappointed it looks the same or boring then maybe you’ll realise Origins and Odyssey weren’t that good.***

Odyssey was great. Just not what you wanted. I had way more fun in that than I ever did in RDR2.

People seem to be really resistant to change right after they spend 4 games complaining about things not being different enough.

[Sonyslave3]

This is most definitely the current gen version and I'm not impresse the combat look and feel like Oddsessy and nothing stand out.

I see why they didn't want to show any footage it look uninspired. 😑

[anonymousfan]

I'm sure what they'll show next Sunday will look way better. I am hoping to see a graphical upgrade like going from ACIV to Unity at the beginning of current gen.

[Tacoboto]

Black Flag was a cross-generation title like this one. AC Unity was their first current-gen only title. At most, reasonably - I'm gonna think Valhalla Next-Gen will be 4K-30fps with something like the Ultra Settings from Odyssey. Maybe a Performance Mode, but Ubisoft isn't really a company I would think to go all-out when the next-gen versions are just a free patch.

[anonymousfan]

@Tacoboto Man thank you for the explanation, I totally forgot about that!

And now to think of it you are totally right there were only a few minor upgrades besides resolution on ACIV I think it was like vegetation density and dynamic movement of certain things like ferns reacting to the player... Overall very minor things. Damn lol that certainly dials back my excitment for Valhalla.

[TheHateTheyGive]

Looks like crud, look at that ps360 era hair.

[Viryu]

Hack'&'Slashing at a wolf. What happened to AC series?

[Pughski]

Looks really bland

[Lord_Sloth]

I'm whelmed.

[FlavorLav01]

More of the same. Voice acting sounded stale. I won’t hold my breath for more than a fun parkour experience. Story has always been convoluted/disjointed to me so I won’t expect this one to fix that either. Also, screen was covered in HUDs, breaks immersion almost as much as “spartan kicking” a dude 2-3X your characters size 20ft across the screen. Nothing about this looks next-gen, physics-wise or in combat animation which also disappoints coming from one of the largest developers and IPs out there. Hoping this was footage much earlier build myself.

[Flan]

AC fans really good at modding.

Oh wait!

[VerminSC]

Assassins creed, call of duty, type companies desperately need a complete alteration, or they need to work on new IP. In the same drastic way Sony Santa Monica was able to revitalize god of war! Do something like that or a new ip

[FlavorLav01]

Yup, Ubi and Activision just love re-using old assets, slapping a new sticker on it, and laughing on their way to bank year after year though. License to print money right?

[Terry_B]

Same old shit.

[ps3rider]

Seems needs more polishing. As many said

it's more of the same but I felt bored with this.

the facial animation is the same never change

[Gatsu]

Oh great another leak... Another reason for gamers to whine about for sure.

[Good-Smurf]

I didn't played any AC game since 2nd one and this leak might make it stays that way.
Repetitiveness has always been this series worst enemy and it seems to continue.
And what's up with the game graphics looks like something came out 10 years ago.

[Kavorklestein]

Odyssey is worth your time.

[derek]

Looks pretty bad visually.

[Garodor]

This looks so much like a PS4 game ... just like AC Odyssey. Had higher expectations after how much Ubisoft hyped this game up. The graphics (especially the characters) and animations look so much worse than a last gen title like the Witcher 3... Killed my hype pretty much

[Father__Merrin]

I hope this is better optimised. try running creed origins locked to 60fps in city areas it's a joke

[Bathyj]

This has got to be early footage it looks average at mass

[Rikimaru1977]

this is a waste, they ain't doing nothing new at all. it looks like the last 2 AC game, but with a different character and setting. Cross this off my game list.

[DefaultComment]

after watching it, I must say I'm really disappointed at it, viking theme.....how original. At least with Origins and Odyssey were historical accurate and had infraestructures to do the parkour.
This version is more like medivalish style with "vikings". I know they are using the same engine from tjhe last 2 games so Im not surprised but this viking theme is a bad idea.

[DrDeath]

"Leaked"

[SeanScythe]

Her voice sounds horrible, like shes trying to sound like a dude. lol

[SeanScythe]

after playing Horizon and finishing the game last night this looks like trash. AC games should be gorgeous with long draw distances after this many titles. This looks no better than Black flag at the best.

[karatejake75]

It's impossible to accurately assess the visual quality of the game because the quality of this video is awful.

[FlavorLav01]

Yea, but combat animation looked choppy and unnatural. Textures and draw distances hard to make a call for now, but the base animations look aged. Health bars over everything that moves looked very immersion breaking

[antarius]

Maybe put this baby back in the oven to bake more? Combat looks awful. That hack n slash with the wolf was just terrible.

[silenthillstrangler]

We know what to expect gameplay wise but by God it better look better than that at launch.

[fffaustyyy]

That looks incredible!

[GoodGuy09]

So looks about the same as origins and odyssey. Wish AC could ever go to that cinematic sony AAA games go for.

[Saijahn]

The story is what drives AC games. It’s pretty similar from gameplay of the last 2 and that’s cool I guess. I’m just looking forward to the story and building up new lands as we raid the Anglo saxsons

[RosweeSon]

Standard affair

[SinisterKieran]

hmm....the combat doesn't really seem like anything special :/

[Miacosa]

Looks like a regular Assassin's game. Hopefully the hyperbolic overhype does not misfire on upon its release.

[Loktai]

"'ultimate grounded Viking fantasy'" - Proceeds to play like a PS3 beat-em-up, kicking people 20-30 feet, taking multiple heavy axe blows without staggering notably, etc. etc. etc.

[BioShockGX]

Origins was kinda fun. Odyssey was long and boring. So I'm gonna guess this one will be garbage.

[Tex4242]

I'm fine with the last few games. They just need to tighten up the experience a bit. It shouldn't be 20 hours with just main story but 100 with side content. In my opinion the thing that needs the most fixing is the current/future timeline. Embrace it fully or just get rid of it completely.

[TheHan]

I’m always skeptical of leaks or rumors until I actually know of an official showing or announcement.

[FanboySpotter]

Uhh is it just me or did A.C. Unity look more next gen than this? What is going on at ubisoft why do all games look alike now? To me ubisoft games look a gen behind every new gen. (I never hate on ubisoft but this is just odd. I miss playing as an actual hooded assassin not the ryse son of witcher type of ac games)

[starchild]

That's crazy talk. Assassins Creed Origins and Odyssey on PC were easily among the best looking open world games I played on any platform.

Come to think of it, most Ubisoft games are well above average in the graphics department, so what in the world are you talking about?

[Hungryalpaca]

I’d say Odyssey is right under red dead 2 in terms of open world graphics. Red dead 2 looks leagues better though.

[osamaq]

the game is dead for years now...

[Mister_Wolf]

Same old shit.

[sourOG]

Looks okay. I’m hyped in general but that didn’t help it any lol.

[Heavenly King]

it looks horrible

[Charal]

Let’s see how things will unfold, but I believe that the choice of Viking era is not a good one.

Origins and Odyssey have provided access to the long awaited time period requested by fans ( Egypt and Antique Greece) and going back to middle age is itself a disappointment.

I think somewhere like Inca or Maya period would have been a better and more ambitious move.
Maybe something related to voodoo cult or Slave trade period may be more appealing history wise, but maybe it is difficult to use this periods without any risk of ethical backlash in current days.

[Cmoney007]

The combat doesn't look bad in this game, but I find it funny that the main female character looks a lot like Pink. Is she going to say, raise your glass?

[princejb134]

zzz same assassin creed with new color palette

[Passerotto]

Bad.

[LM1213]

doesn't look 60 fps...uh oh

[FlameWater]

Thank you game leakers for putting overrated game developers in their place

[DafunkyRebel]

Wow that current graphics they kept touting as a game changer lol

[anast]

I'm going to play it, but I hate the way he/she dodges. It looks similar to Origins, I couldn't stand it, and looks like I'm going to have to put up with it in Valhalla.

[AK91]

Damn it I missed it.

[zarbor]

I know its early but YUCK.....more of the same. No thanks Ubisoft. We want next gen not last gen on next gen console. Its a launch game.

[helicoptergirl]

I am kind of disappointed. The same type of floaty combat.
