Ubisoft’s default option for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will see you play as both male and female versions of main character Eivor at different points in the story.
Narrative director Darby McDevitt previously said the game supported both male and female versions as canon, with a full explanation to follow. Well, this is the explanation.
When Valhalla begins, you’ll be able to choose to play entirely as female Eivor, entirely as male Eivor, or by default via a “Let the Animus decide” option, as revealed last night in a video clip from IGN. You can then repick from any of these options at any time.
