Recent entries in the Assassin’s Creed franchise have toed a fine line between history and mythology, and the makers of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla have previously said the game will be “historically grounded” and not focus too much on fantasy elements. Well, apparently the game (or messaging) changed somewhere along the way, because Ubisoft just released new Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gameplay as part of as part of GamesRadar’s latest Future Games Show, and it’s packed with all sorts of fantasy beasties!

We see a giant dog knowns as Black Shuck, which is said to be the Devil incarnate and the witchy Daughters of Lerion (inspired by Shakespeare’s King Lear). We also get a look at a lengthy sidequest, The Lost Drengir of Ragnar Lothbrok, which tasks you with hunting down the former warrior followers of a famous Viking.

Anyways, check out the new footage below…
