The trailer of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be released on 30 April at 8.30 pm IST.The teaser image showed two scenes— on one side you see (Norse?) ships battling through frigid waters, and on the other, a battlefield with axe-wielding warriors fighting under a fort. A bearded Viking warrior stands in between of the two terrains with an axe in hand, and is presumably the protagonist for the upcoming game.
