Which Assassin’s Creed game is set mainly in ninth-century England and Norway?

The story behind the answer

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is set mainly in ninth-century England and Norway.

Released in 2020, Valhalla follows Eivor, a Viking raider who leaves Norway and establishes a settlement in England. The English setting includes several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and regions, while Norway provides the opening chapters and later opportunities for exploration.

The story takes place during the Viking expansion into England and features figures such as Alfred the Great, a historical king of Wessex. Eivor becomes involved in conflicts among local rulers while also encountering the Hidden Ones, the organization that preceded the Assassin Brotherhood.

Valhalla is sometimes grouped with Origins and Odyssey because all three emphasize large role-playing worlds. Their periods are different: Origins depicts Ptolemaic Egypt, Odyssey focuses on classical Greece, and Valhalla depicts the Viking Age in northern Europe.
