Which Assassin's Creed game is set mainly in Anglo-Saxon England?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is set mainly in Anglo-Saxon England.

The game follows Eivor, a Viking raider who leaves Norway and establishes a settlement in England during the ninth century. The campaign visits several historical kingdoms and regions, including Wessex, Mercia, East Anglia, and Northumbria, while Eivor becomes involved in the conflict between the Hidden Ones and the Order of the Ancients.

Valhalla also includes substantial story material in Norway and optional mythological sequences inspired by Norse traditions. These sections do not change the game's principal historical setting: most of the open-world exploration and political alliances take place in England.

The setting is distinct from Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which is centered on ancient Greece, and Assassin's Creed Origins, which is centered on Ptolemaic Egypt. Assassin's Creed Mirage, released later, is primarily set in ninth-century Baghdad, making it another medieval setting but not the same geographical focus as Valhalla.
