Is AC Valhalla: Dawn Of Ragnarok Canon
Dawn of Ragnarök, the third and final expansion for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, leaves history behind to fully embrace Norse mythology.

Likewise, Assassin's Creed Odyssey recreated ancient Greece and put an even greater focus on supernatural elements by including creatures like Medusa, the Minotaur, and the Cyclops. Assassin's Creed Valhalla capped off this ancient trilogy with a slew of mythological elements, with a twist revealing that player character Eivor is actually a reincarnation of the Norse god Odin.
