An educational killing game

A few years ago, Ubisoft came up with an interesting addition to their Assassin's Creed game. This removed all violent elements from the game, enriched the historical environment in which the game takes place with information about that time, pictorial and photographic material and more, and turned the game into an interesting educational tool. The add-on is called Assassin's Creed Discovery Tours, and the latest addition to the game  Assassin's Creed Valhalla is of course called Discovery Tour: Viking Age, since Valhalla takes place in the Viking age.

Discovery Tour: Viking Age, which, like its predecessors, can be accessed right from the game menu, will take you to the end of the 9th century, i.e. to the time when Alfred the Great ruled the area of ​​present-day England. He is considered to be the first English king and the only one to earn the title "The Great", and he was also known, among other things, for the fact that he did a lot for the safety of his subjects and thereby greatly accelerated trade. In the game, you will have to solve eight tasks or missions, in which you will play the role of Alfred the Great, a Viking merchant and someone else, and in this way learn about everyday life in England and Norway in the 9th century. The whole story is equipped with a rich accompanying word and pictorial and photographic material not only from England and Norway but also from Denmark, France and elsewhere. And yes - if you're successful enough on Discovery Tour: Viking Age, you'll also get some candy for "regular" Valhalla…

The Discovery Tour add-on is free for Assassin's Creed Valhalla owners on all platforms, and a standalone version can be had for PC for $20 on Ubisoft's online store. Console users can't get their hands on the standalone version at the moment, as it won't be available for them until next year.
