I’m rather excited to get more information about. We’ve listened to a fair bit about Ubisoft’s upcoming viking RPG therefore far, I’m a follower. I’m enormously right into the concept of leading a band of vikings throughout 9th century England, especially considering that Ubisoft has constantly had an eye for information when it pertains to recreating durations of history for the Assassin’s Creed franchise.

But precisely how in-depth, exactly how accurate, will the game be? You see, I’ve just recently come across some details pertaining to vikings that I find intriguing. Particularly, some chroniclers appear to believe that the warriors really took their felines out on raids with them.

Sure enough, Jes Martens from the Cultural History Museum in Oslo, Norway, told ScienceNordic in a piece from 2016 that vikings most likely took their felines along for the flight as they conducted numerous raids throughout Europe while searching for a brand-new house – something we’ll be performing in. As a matter of fact, pet cats had their own function to play in Norse mythology, which is something I had not been really knowledgeable about up until today.

“Freja, the goddess of love, had 2 pet cats that drew her carriage,” Martens explained. “And when Thor checked out Utgard, he tried to lift the giant, Utgard-Loki’s cat. It became a snake, the Midgard Serpent, which not even Thor can raise.”

I don’t know if this is info Ubisoft recognizes, yet I feel we require to bring it to the firm’s attention. I do not wish to state that I’ll boycott if we don’t get feline friends that can begin raids as well as assist us in battle, but I simply might.

Based on what we’ve seen from the video game up until now, it looks like bears and also wolves can be pursued as well as subjugated to eliminate together with you … yet screw that. We’ve seen bear and also wolf companions in numerous video games at this moment, is it not time to alter it up? Is it not time to stride alongside a feline buddy? One who can distract enemies for you by damaging the carpet or pissing where it ought not to piss?

I’m just a simple man with a love of pet cats, yet I assume Ubisoft has the chance to give us something unique right here. The background is. Don’t be cowards, Ubisoft. Place felines in.
