I had the extraordinary opportunity to work on one of my favorite video game franchises this year, Assassin’s Creed, and I’m beyond excited to finally be able to share this with all of you! @Ubisoft has done it again, and this time around they are taking us to the harsh, unforgiving—albeit breathtaking world of the Vikings.

Fans of the franchise got to watch Abdo create the teaser image live on Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. They later shared the complete video for those who missed the live stream.

Today’s event served as a precursor for tomorrow’s big Assassin’s Creed Valhalla full reveal where we should learn more about the game as far as story, gameplay, how it looks, and release date. We fully expect it to follow Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s RPG-like style that we loved and broke down in our of the game.

We are excited about the next grand story in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Be sure to check back in with Hip-Hop Wired for our breakdown of tomorrow’s reveal.
