UPDATE 8/7/20: Another day, another Ubisoft leak. It’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla again this time, with a second big gameplay excerpt from the same early East Anglian area. This leak, however, is of much higher quality.
In this latest slice of footage, we see female Eivor take on a boss character named Cordelia – a fight which appears to be a side-activity within the region. Speaking of which, there’s also a glimpse at some of the game’s sprawling map – hello Norwich and Thetford Forest!

ORIGINAL STORY 6/7/20: Half an hour of gameplay from the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has leaked online – and Ubisoft is trying to scrub it from the internet.
The footage is from a work-in-progress build of the game, and comes just days ahead of this Sunday’s Ubisoft Forward livestream.
The mission shown features an assault on the real-life Burgh Castle in East Anglia, and gives us our first proper look at the female version of main character Eivor (not counting that special edition statue).
There’s a bit of open-world gameplay that looks very similar to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, some chit-chat with allies, and then it’s into Eivor’s longboat for a quick journey to the castle. Eivor recites a poem as the boat sails, and then there’s a quick bit of naval gameplay as the unarmed vessel dodges fire arrows.
