Assassin's Creed already has games, books, comics, and movies, but now Ubisoft is looking to expand that AC love even more with a new initiative. From podcast to webtoons, the studio is curating a new library to celebrate all things Assassin's Creed, including our first look at a new manhua (Chinese comics) called Valhalla: Blood Brothers.
New Assassin's Creed tales will come in several forms, including podcasts, webtoons, new novels, and more. Ubisoft is collaborating with creators from all over the world to add new Assassin's Creed experiences for fans to enjoy in-between game time. Assassin's Creed: Stories will elaborate on the world we already know while offering some new surprises as well for fans to enjoy.
We also have an exclusive preview of chapter two of a new short story with the manhua Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Blood Brothers, as seen in the slideshow below:
