Ubisoft announced that Discovery Tour: Viking Age, an educational game allowing anyone to explore and interact with the history and traditions of the Viking world, is now available. Discovery Tour: Viking Age is free for all Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players. The PC standalone version of Discovery Tour: Viking Age is available via Ubisoft Connect and on the Epic Games Store for £16.99. Players can also subscribe to Ubisoft+ on PC to play the game. In addition, it will release as a standalone on Xbox One, Xbox Series S | X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Amazon Luna, in 2022.
Following Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt and Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece’s line, Discovery Tour: Viking Age is the brand-new chapter in this educational experience based on the world developed for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Players of all ages will be immersed in a unique interactive experience where they can learn about the history, traditions and famous people of the Viking and Anglo-Saxon worlds. For the very first time, Discovery Tour: Viking Age changes the formula by putting narrative and interactivity at the core of the experience. The two new creative pillars “History through stories” and “Learning by doing” make the experience even more memorable and engaging than previous opuses. Following a new narrative storyline structured around eight quests, players will have the opportunity to embody Viking and Anglo-Saxon characters of the time and take part in their adventures set in the ninth century. This narrative takes players through the snowy lands of Norway, the beautiful landscapes of England, and the mythical realms of Jotunheim and Asgard.
Discovery Tour: Viking Age also treats all Assassin’s Creed Valhalla fans with 11 exclusive rewards to unlock in the main game, 25 Behind-The-Scenes stations about the main game development, and 24 exploration characters.
Considering that teachers and students might be unfamiliar with video games and the best way to use them in an educational context, Ubisoft has developed curriculum guides that offer customised activities and lesson plans based on the field of study and the level of the students, in partnership with the Montréal McGill University, with a grant from Mitacs. The beta version for Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece curriculum guide is already available at ubisoft.com/r/discovery-tour/curriculum-guide/ancient-greece.
