Though its campaign takes time to get going, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla brings a satisfying finish to the current saga of the franchise.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla brings the familiar series trappings into a new, icy landscape set in the Viking age. But while it is fairly similar to the two most recent Assassin’s Creed games, Origins and Odyssey, it makes a big change to how you obtain skills, stat boosts, and special abilities. In fact, Skills and Abilities are entirely distinct from each other this time around and are developed in different ways. Here’s a primer on how the two systems work and how to get the most out of both of them.

Eivor’s Skills

Skills in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla become available soon after a brief tutorial, and you’re awarded more skill points both early and often. The familiar leveling system from previous Assassin’s Creed games has been streamlined to award you skill points for each time you fill your EXP meter. That’s in part because there are many more skills to buy in Valhalla than in the prior games, thanks to a broader skill tree that’s full of stat buffs and new moves. To start, you’ll have a choice to invest in one of three directions.

Way of the Bear (melee)

Way of the Bear is the big aggressive brawler type, and awards you with skills to make you a fearsome and front-facing warrior. You get benefits toward melee combat like duel-wielding two-handed weapons, the ability to scare away weaker enemies with your attacks, along with damage resistance and fire resistance. You’ll also get combat counters that let you do more damage at different points during combat, like knocking over enemies while running or dealing damage during a parry.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla takes the series traditional action-RPG trappings and puts them into yet another new historical setting: northern Europe in the age of Vikings. While it’s mostly recognizably similar to recent Assassin’s Creed games Origins and Odyssey, Ubisoft has made some notable changes. Not only that, but the setting itself has led to new game systems such as settlement-building. Here are some things you should know when you’re just starting out on your Viking journey.

Collect Gear Resources

Valhalla isn’t as loot-heavy as Odyssey, so you probably won’t need to constantly swap out new weapons and armor pieces. Instead, you’ll have a handful of armor that you can upgrade using resources to improve their stats and increase their number of rune slots available. So to get the most out of your armor, be on the lookout for resources everywhere you go. Hunting animals generates leather and mountainous regions have rocks that hold ore. You can scan an area for available resources using your assassin vision, or get a bird’s eye view (ha!) of resource deposits with your crow.

Watch Your Power Level And Use Disguises

Always keep an eye on your current power level and try to stay in areas where you match or exceed that number. It’s very easy to wander into areas that are well past your level, which are significantly tougher to survive in due to the presence of more powerful enemies. Plus, some areas are just plain unfriendly toward Vikings. If you find yourself in such an area, put on your cloak to blend in and pass through unnoticed.

Digital Extremes’ popular free-to-play shooter Warframe is headed to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The game will be playable on the new consoles, and Digital Extremes has now outlined some of the benefits that players will receive when playing on the new machines.

The game will run at up to 4K/60FPS on both consoles. Additionally, there will be “drastically” improved load times, while the game will look better too with dynamic lighting. “The light from the sun now casts long shadows through the trees, foliage creates dynamic shadows as you stalk through it, and the reflections of the dense Cetus market can be seen across your Warframe as you stroll through,” the developer said in a statement.

The studio also built a “game-wide texture remaster” that helps Warframe look more detailed and rich, while this has also created a reduction in download size.

Control is getting upgraded for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, but players looking to revisit the title with an improved frame rate and ray tracing on consoles will need to wait longer. Developer Remedy Entertainment has announced that the game, expected during the next-gen launch period, will arrive in “early 2021”.

No exact date has been announced beyond this, with Remedy tweeting that more time is needed to ensure that the final release is as “awesome” as they want it to be. The Ultimate Edition contains the original game and both of its expansions, The Foundation and AWE.

This next-gen version is expected to be on par with the PC version. The game, which has been a showcase ray tracing title on PC, runs okay on base PS4/Xbox One systems–but there’s a clear room for improvement.

Control: Ultimate Edition is already available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The next-gen update has been controversial, because it will only be available as a free upgrade for players who bought the Ultimate Edition on PS4/Xbox One.

This means that players who bought the game and the DLC earlier will miss out, or need to buy the game again. This is particularly strange as some Xbox One players who own the base game and DLC were briefly given the Ultimate Edition.

Control recently came to Nintendo Switch via cloud gaming. This version received a 7/10 in GameSpot’s review.

The Medium–one of the very few launch-period Xbox Series X games not also coming to Xbox One–has been delayed. The game, which was due on December 10, will now arrive on January 28, 2021. It’ll be available on Xbox Series X/S and PC.

The game has been delayed “due to the COVID-19 situation in Poland, as well as the current schedule of other games on the market,” developer Bloober Team announced in a tweet. By “other games,” they likely mean Cyberpunk 2077, which is due December 10.

The game is a psychological horror game about Marianne, a medium who moves between the real world and the “spirit realm” at will, solving puzzles between the two using her psychic abilities.

This is not the first game to get out of Cyberpunk’s way–Path of Exile delayed an expansion, too. Everspace 2 has also moved into January from a December release date, citing Cyberpunk as the reason.

One of the biggest blockbusters on the horizon, Jurassic World: Dominion, has finished filming in the UK after multiple interruptions, schedule changes, and other impacts related to COVID-19.

Deadline reported that filming finished on November 7 at Pinewood Studios in the UK. The site called the shoot “unprecedented” due to the health and safety protocols in place. In total, more than 40,000 COVID-19 tests were conducted, according to the site, while production company Universal is said to have spent “millions” on health and safety measures which involved keeping the cast and crew in a “bubble” for the duration of the shoot.

“I’m not sure I can put it into words,” director Colin Trevorrow told Deadline. “It has been remarkable. Our crew and our cast has been so resilient. All producers have worked around the clock to make it the best it can be. It has been inspiring.”
