It is the year 873 AD, the most violent period in Norwegian history. A Viking clan leader takes a group of refugee warriors across the seas to medieval England, where they set up camp as barely welcome migrants to the local kingdoms. You form alliances with local lords and raid Saxon strongholds for resources to build and grow your settlement. The historic cities of Winchester, London, and York, as well as vast landscapes of Norway, are brought to life in this outstanding Assassin's Creed experience.
