Assassin's Creed Odyssey is getting a new set of gear that's a clear nod to Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
The Northern Traveler's Set was revealed in Odyssey's latest set of patch notes. It looks like the item pack will include a complete armor set (though we only get a look at the chest, head, and a little bit of the arm armor in the teaser image), and it also includes an axe. The Northern Traveler's Set includes lots of warm fur embellishments and a cowl to keep the Nordic snow out of your armor.
In a recent interview with Assassin's Creed Valhalla narrative director Darby McDevitt, he teased that Valhalla will expand the series' unique take on mythology to the Norse pantheon.
"For people who've been with us for a long time, the ancient pagan gods like Minerva and Juno and Jupiter, they were represented as this first civilization," he says. "They weren't actually gods. And I think players who are going to come into Valhalla can expect that it's similar to how we treat the Norse Pantheon as well. I don't think you'd be led astray if you started thinking that."
The developers have also confirmed that Assassin's Creed Valhalla will have 25 distinct enemy archetypes, so you'd better put your horned thinking cap on. Check out the latest Assassin's Creed Valhalla pre-orders.
