“We want our character, Eivor, to exist in a coherent space and have a coherent personality,” said narrative director Darby McDevitt in a recent Q&A from fans. “So that by the time you get to the end of our game no matter which little paths you’ve taken through our game, you always feel that Eivor was Eivor.” Ubisoft Montreal had stated that the male and female Eivor will be canonical to the story of Valhalla, unlike Odyssey, where Kassandra was the canonical character. In addition, the game will “experiment” with the narrative expectations of earlier Assassin’s Creed entries, and this will be “one of the stand-out aspects of the game.”
