If you were watching Ubisoft's very artistic live-stream yesterday, you probably noticed that not only has the videogame company employed the services of the one and only BossLogic to create some original art for them, but that it happened to be the first look at their new title in the Assassin's Creed franchise, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. Now the first trailer for that title has arrived, giving us our first great look at the setting, characters, and stories that will play out in the new release. Check it out below!

As GameSpot reports, the new game will likely take place during The Viking Age, which occurs a few hundred years before the setting of the original game. That probably means we'll get more backstories on the history of both the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templars, picking up the threads laid down in the last two releases, Origins and Odyssey. Ashraf Ismail, who acted as game director as Origins and Black Flag, is now creative director for an "unannounced" game, which may change as of today's trailer launch. Stay tuned for more as we hear it!
