Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will allow players to explore Norway and England, and it seems like one of the most iconic locations found on the British Isles will be explorable.
Creative Director Ashraf Ismail confirmed on Twitter that it will be possible to visit Stonehenge in the game. As the prehistoric monument is located in the south of England, this confirmation may also hint at the fact that players will be able to explore Wessex or at least parts of it.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will build upon the foundation laid by Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey, but it will feature a new take on the RPG mechanics and progression seen in the previous entries in the series.
So in terms of RPG and progression, our goal was to actually bring in kind of a fresh new take on it. Something that is much more anchored into the world itself and into the concepts of skills and so on. We do have a very different take than what we’ve previously done, all in the hopes of actually making the Viking experience shine a bit more.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla launches later this year on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X worldwide. The game’s gameplay debut is scheduled for tomorrow.
