Background Information:

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a critically acclaimed action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft. It's part of the long-running Assassin's Creed series known for combining historical fiction with a contemporary narrative. Players take on the role of Eivor, a Viking raider, and are involved in the conflicts between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Templar Order. The game, set in the age of Vikings, features an open-world environment replicated from historical settings and promotes exploration and combat both on land and sea.

The Resident Evil 2 remake revitalizes the classic survival horror game originally released in 1998 by Capcom. It's been completely rebuilt using the RE Engine, offering modernized gameplay, updated graphics, and a more cinematic storytelling approach while remaining faithful to the original narrative. Players control rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they navigate a zombie-infested Raccoon City.
