Assassin’s Creed Valhalla launches in less than a month, and Ubisoft has revealed what kind of rig you’ll need to play the game, but first, we have a new 7-minute-plus “deep dive” trailer to watch! The video shows off your Viking settlement, brutal large-scale battles, character customization, and a few quick glimpses of Asgard, which you’ll be able to explore. Check it all out, below.
Looking good! It definitely seems like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is taking the series to the next level visually, as it looks markedly better than either Origins or Odyssey. So, what kind of PC will you need to push all that visual splendor? The requirements aren’t too crazy – you’ll only need AMD RX 570 or GeForce GTX 1060 to play at 1080p. On the high end, Valhalla isn’t as demanding as Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs: Legion, as the game doesn’t feature ray tracing – for 4k and Ultra High settings you’ll need an AMD RX 5700XT or GeForce RTX 2080. Check out the full PC requirements, below.
