News Ubisoft To Take Assassin's Creed Lore To The Next Level With Mr Men And Little Miss Books
Mass murder, but for kids apparently
In the dozens (and dozens) of hours it takes to beat Assassin's Creed Valhalla it's possible you'll chop off approximately 800 heads, though you'll kill thousands as you rampage through monasteries and towns in a very Viking-esque way.
