You Can Play As A Gay Viking In Assassin's Creed Valhalla
So apparently you can be a gay Viking in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. You don’t have to, but you can. Just saying.
We got our first good gaze at Assassin's Creed Valhalla at Ubisoft Forward, where we were finally introduced to some actual gameplay footage after being promised for several months. And then we were also told that you can swap between male and female Eivor on a whim, which means that if there’s any opportunity for romance, then that would make Eivor at least bisexual unless Ubisoft wanted to also start swapping genders of bangable NPCs.
That would be a lot of work, so they went the other route: Eivor can be gay.
This news comes from several previews that don't drop too many spoilers, but they do drop a rare, so read on at your own risk.
The situation is, Eivor is attending a wedding. Oswald, the King of East Anglia, is getting married to a huge woman called Valdis. There's a cutscene with a very serious wedding ceremony, and then there's an open-play scene where Eivor gets roaring drunk and has to play a
Assassin’s Creed Odysseywas nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for its LGBT+ representation and romance options. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey also released a DLC which forced your potentially queer main character to be straight in order to conceive a child. While many queer people do conceive, this is not presented as a bisexual lead entering into a heterosexual relationship.

But the mess around this sums up the biggest issue with the recent Assassin’s Creed; they can’t decide how progressive they want to be, they can’t decide who their audience is, and they can’t settle what they want to exclaim. Assassin’s Creed finds itself in the same spot so many of us did in lofty school: Assassin’s Creed needs to admit that it’s gay.
Spoilers for the ending of Assass Assassins Creed Valhalla may give you the option to drink other Vikings under the table, but does it give you the option to be gay? Now thats what we want to know. After all, since Ubisoft has had a rather sketchy past when it comes to LGBT+ representation, who doesnt want to know? Well, while we cant promise that Ubisoft wont produce DLC thatll force Eivor into a heterosexual relationship and build them reproduce, we do perceive that in the base game, there are options that will let you smooch other Vikings and have a fondle of their longswords too Dont judge us. Thats right, gay romance is available in Assassins Creed Valhalla. Though if youre expecting something as steamy as the sex scenes you observe in Baldurs Gate 3, then youre going to be very disappointed. But dont worry, theres still a lot to passion about the romance options that you can find while wandering the world. Some are hunters, some will try to imbibe you under the table, and some just really want to bed you. Even for just one night. From our very limited time w
