The twelfth major installment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to the 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Valhalla is set in 872 AD during the Viking invasion of Britain. Players take control of Eivor, a Viking raider caught up in the conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order.

Eivor can be played as either male (voiced by Magnus Bruun), female (voiced by Cecilie Stenspil), or the game can alternate between the two at key points in the story. Players can also customize the character’s hair, warpaint, clothing, armor, and tattoos, as well as choose from a variety of weapons, including the newly added flails and greatswords.

Director Ashraf Ismail has said that Michael Crichton's 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead influenced Valhalla's setting, while writer Darby McDevitt admitted the game resembled the God of War series, though added that Valhalla was a more "historically grounded" experience.

Valhalla received positive reviews from critics, who praised the narrative, characters, graphics, world-design, and interconnected activities. In its review of the game, TheGamer wrote, “The narrative itself is immensely satisfying, to the point I’d say it’s the most cohesive, fascinating, and inventive story the series has ever seen — by a long shot.”

The game sold more copies during its first week of release than any other title in the series. In addition, the PC version had the most successful launch of any PC game published by Ubisoft with over 1.8 million players in its first week of release.
