Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Eivor Joins Ezio In Fortnite This Week

The presence of Ezio from the Assassin's Creed series in Fortnite was first revealed over a month ago, but it now seems that Eivor Varinsdottir from Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be coming to the battle royale game's storefront this week. Starting from 8pm ET on Thursday 7th April, players will be able to pick up both protagonists from Ubisoft's series in the Fortnite Item Shop.

Eivor will be able to wield 'Eivor's Shield Back Bling' — "a shield bearing the mark of the Raven Clan" — plus some handaxes and the 'Wolf-Kissed Longboat Glider', all available for V-bucks in the game's store, with the former two including the Viking War Cry Emote, which sees her bang her handaxe on her shield. Like that bit in Frozen 2 when the soldiers bang their swords against their shields to attract the big rock monsters. Yep.

You can also buy all the extras in the 'Tales from the Animus Bundle', if you want the full kit.

Prices haven't been announced yet — although we'd hazard a guess they'll be perfectly pitched at the 'I can just about stretch to that' if you're a massive AC fan, and the 'blimey, that's a bit steep!' if you're not.

Let us know below which camp you're in.
