Assassins Creed Valhalla is eliminating standard side quests, and replacing them with “World Occasions”, Ubisoft has verified.
Speaking with GameSpot ahead of yesterdays gameplay reveal at Ubisoft Forward, Valhallas narrative director Darby McDevitt validated that sidequests are “almost nonexistent” in the current installment of the open world action series..
Rather, states McDevitt, Assassins Creed Valhalla will be more focused on what Ubisoft calls “World Events”, which are more spontaneous activities found outside the primary campaign that dont necessarily fit the conventional structure of a normal side quest..
This will come as excellent news to those who didnt enjoy Assassins Creed Odysseys bloated, ever expanding list of side quests, a number of which needed to be completed to progress your character over various level gates discovered in its primary campaign..
That said, theres every possibility these World Events might feel similarly frustrating, so heres hoping Ubisoft has actually discovered a way to make certain every brand-new extra-curricular activity we encounter in Dark Ages England is just as entertaining as the last..
Valhalla launches for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, and Xbox Series X on November 17 later on this year, with a free next-gen upgrade offered to anyone who acquires a copy of the video game on their current gen console first..
