While 2020 has slowed down most of the world, it seems that the video game industry is still pressing forward to bring the planned big new titles for the year to fruition. One title that many have been looking forward to is the next entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Earlier this week, fans were delighted by the surprise reveal of the Viking-era setting for the new game. Now, Ubisoft has officially revealed the new title as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla with a new announcement trailer that sees the return of a classic weapon long gone from the series.

As reported on Prima Games, Ubisoft premiered the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla trailer today. The trailer showcases Viking protagonist Eivor and his people, as they fight against the Saxon army. This culminates in the trailer with a grand battle on an open field, where Eivor is pitted against the Saxon’s biggest and baddest warrior. The two clash swords in an epic and grueling duel, until Eivor loses grip of his sword. Seemingly defeated, the Saxon knight prepares to cut Eivor’s throat per the order of the king, when it is suddenly revealed that Eivor had the iconic hidden blade up his sleeve

Eivor sneakily kills the knight and inspires his people to push back further against the Saxons. Fans on social media have already exclaimed much praise at the familiar weapon’s return. Hopefully Ubisoft has plenty of other surprises hidden up their sleeves before Assassin’s Creed Valhalla releases this year-end Holiday season for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5.
