In addition, Ubisoft wants to remind Odyssey players about the new Crossover Stories event that sends Kassandra into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Players will need to unlock the special questline in Odyssey in order to carry it forward into Valhalla. To help players refresh their memories about the cataclysmic events in Odyssey, developers have sent out a brand new video called Assassin’s Creed Unlocked Episode 1 – Kassandra:
Developed by Ubisoft Sofia (the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Rogue and Assassin’s Creed Origins – The Curse of the Pharaohs), Dawn of Ragnarök focuses entirely on Odin (aka Havi), and is set after the events of the Asgard and Jotunheim arcs found in the main campaign. This new adventure puts the one-eyed god on a journey to save their son, Baldr, held captive by the fire giant Surtr in the dwarven realm of Svartalfheim – a mythical new world about one-third the size of England. Under occupation from the fiery realm of Muspelheim (as well as icy Jotunheim), Svartalfheim has become a hostile, lava-filled landscape patrolled by flame-wielding enemies, some of whom can do things like revive their fallen comrades. To survive, Odin will need to find hidden Shelters across the world, and seek help from the dwarves who’ve taken refuge in them.
