Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: PC Specs and Recommended System Requirements

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla moves the open-world assassin action to ninth-century Europe during the Viking Age. The story stars a Viking raider named Eivor, who will travel from Norway to several kingdoms of Medieval England to wage war against the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms led by Alfred the Great. As Eivor, you’ll explore the kingdoms of Wessex, Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia, while visiting cities like Winchester, London, and York.
