As soon as Ubisoft unveiled Assassin?s Creed Valhalla, a number of folks started comparing the upcoming title to Santa Monica Studio?s God of War, especially since both titles are expected to have some similarities based on their themes. When asked if Ubisoft is concerned about the comparisons, narrative director Darby McDevitt responded by saying that he?s not ?too worried? because most games touching this theme ?skew very heavily towards the mythology.?
Speaking to GameSpot, McDevitt explained:

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() { var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1588514568'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1588514568')
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting('pos', 'P').setTargeting('content_detail', '0').setTargeting('kw', 'in-article').setTargeting('coppa', '0').setTargeting('site', 'playstationlifestyle');
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display('ros_300x250_p_slot4_1588514568');
