Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s ‘Hidden’ Blade Isn’t Hidden Because of the Vikings’ Sense of Honor



Assassin?s Creed fans rejoiced when it was revealed that the franchise?s beloved hidden blade is making a return in Assassin?s Creed Valhalla. However, they instantly noticed that something was off: the hidden blade wasn?t exactly hidden because it can be seen on the upper part of the protagonist?s wrist as opposed to being concealed at the bottom.
Quizzed about this design choice, narrative director Darby McDevitt confirmed that it was done deliberately to stay true to the Viking culture. He explained that Vikings had a sense of honor and they wanted people to know when they killed someone.
