Assassin's Creed Valhalla: confirmed the presence of the X-Ray

While waiting for the gameplay presentation of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which took place during theUbisoft Forward, we were able to see a short scene in which the hidden blade used by the main character was the protagonist of an X-ray sequence during which we saw the bones of an enemy break as the weapon advanced inside his body.

The game director Benoit Richer confirmed that this effect X ray, iconic in the gaming sector thanks to the series Mortal Kombat, was not only part of the gameplay trailer but will be an integral part of the gameplay experience. The developer confirmed this via his Twitter account, in response to a fan, who asked these questions:

You are fantastic! Okay, I'd like to have some information, so I'll try to do it in points:

1. Can the hidden blade be used IN COMBAT as a primary weapon for the left hand?
2. We saw an X-ray assassination during gameplay, was it just a sequence for the trailer or was it gameplay.

Your awesome! Ok I may only get one shot at this so I'm gonna try and make it count haha ​​1. Can the hidden blade be used IN COMBAT as a primary left hand weapon?
2.We saw an X-ray assassination in the gameplay overview, was that only a cinematic for the trailer or was it gameplay

Richer's response was:

1. We can't wait to reveal this soon.
2. Happens in-game / player-activated.

1. We're looking forward to reveal more soon ?
2. It happens during gameplay / player triggered

So this function will actually be available during gameplay but, according to Benoit's words, only through an option that can be activated, probably from the options menu.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla will be a title cross-gen, and therefore will be available for both this generation and next generation consoles. Specifically, the title will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Google Stadia and PC starting from the next November 17 2020.
