On November 13, 2007, Ubisoft launched Assassin’s Creed, and this action-adventure, stealth game took place in the 12th century during the Third Crusade. There have been multiple sequels since, most of them centering around a different assassin in another region and time period, and the series has consistently been praised for providing fans with historically accurate experiences.
The latest game is called Valhalla, and it focuses on a Viking shieldmaiden named Eivor, who raids England during the 9th century. There are plenty of TV shows that appeal to gamers who love Valhalla and the Assassin’s Creed franchise as a whole, and that is because they have similar settings and themes. Not every gamer likes anime, but there are definitely a few series that AC fans would enjoy.
10 Le Chevalier D’Eon
Assassin’s Creed Unity may be the least important game in the franchise, but it did give fans a look at 18th century France, which is when Le Chevalier D’Eon takes place. The story begins in 1742, when a woman is found inside a casket along the Seine River, with the word “Psalms” written in blood on the lid.
D’Eon de Beaumont is a French knight, and his sister is one of several women who suffered similar fates. He decides to investigate these crimes, and he travels across Europe with three companions, who each have their loyalties tested along the way.
9 The Heroic Legend Of Arslan
The Heroic Legend of Arslan is just the sort of anime that would attract Final Fantasy enthusiasts, but Assassin’s Creed fans will like the fact that the series has an ancient setting where magic exists in a limited capacity. The show follows Arslan, the kindhearted crown Prince of the Kingdom of Pars who must flee his country after a successful coup.
Arslan wants to save his kingdom, and he does so with the help of his loyal general and friends. The story forces Arslan to become a capable king who must defend his nation from several external threats, while also dealing with a masked warrior who claims to be the rightful heir to Pars’ throne.
8 Golden Kamuy
Golden Kamuy is the type of anime that Dungeons & Dragons fans would enjoy, but Assassin’s Creed players should give it a try too. The anime consists of three seasons and 36 episodes, and it is set right after the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905).
The series focuses on a war veteran named, Saichi Sugimoto, who is trying to provide for the wife of one of his fallen comrades. The story does a good job of combining the family motif with action, and the characters are very likable despite the fact that they make many bad choices. The show should also be praised for its world-building and lore.
7 Yona Of The Dawn
Yona of the Dawn is a 24-episode series that takes place 2,000 years ago in the fictional nation of Kouka. The story focuses on Princess Yona, who must find four legendary dragon warriors in order to save her nation from her fiancé, who killed her father and instigated a coup.
The series feels a bit campy at times, but so do certain Assassin’s Creed games, and they both offer drama, comedy, and action. It is also a wonderful combination of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cultures.
6 Sengoku Basara: Samurai Kings
Capcom has made some great games, including the ones that belong to the Sengoku Basara franchise. The franchise is not that popular outside of Japan, but it was still popular enough to get an anime series and a sequel.
Set during Japan’s Sengoku period, the series focuses on two young warlords from different regions who become heated rivals. The battles in this series are a tad over the top, and there are plenty of them, but all the major characters are real historical figures.
5 Blade of the Immortal
Blade of the Immortal -Immortal- follows a skilled samurai named Manji, who cannot be killed by any wound. Manji had a criminal past which led to the death of 100 other samurai, so a nun places an immortality curse on him as punishment.
Manji sees the error of his ways, and he vows to make amends for his past crimes by slaying 1,000 evil men. The series came out in 2019 and consists of 24 episodes, and the fight scenes are very well choreographed and violent.
4 Drifters
Drifters may not have breathtaking visuals, but it is still a good looking anime that deals with dark themes that revolve around war. The series focuses on several historical figures from various time periods who are teleported to another world.
This world is in the middle of a civil war, and these “Drifters” end up siding with the opposing factions to lend them their military expertise. The series may focus on humans, but this new world is also inhabited by mystical creatures like elves and dragons.
3 Kingdom
Kingdom takes place during China’s Warring States period, and it follows a war-orphaned slave named Li Xin, who is training to become one of the greatest generals in history. His best friend, Piao, shares this dream, but they are separated when the latter is taken to serve in the royal palace.
Their paths cross again when their kingdom is thrown into chaos by a coup, and it is up to them to set things right. The characters are all beautifully written and developed, and the series offers a lot of suspense.
2 Rurouni Kenshin
Rurouni Kenshin‘s story begins in the 11th year of Japan’s Meiji period, and it follows a former assassin named Hitokiri Battousai. When he was done working against the Shogun, Hitokiri decided to disappear and become a wandering swordsman named Himura Kenshin.
With his new identity, Himura vows to never take another life, which makes the fight scenes quite interesting. The series starts off light-heartened, but it becomes more serious as the story progresses. The anime revolves around atonement, peace, and romance, which is why Witcher 3 fans would enjoy it too.
1 Vinland Saga
Vinland Saga is an absolute must-watch for Valhalla fans, as the entire series deals with Vikings. The series takes place at the start of the 11th century in Dane-controlled England, and it revolves around King Cnut the Great’s historical rise to power.
Thorfinn, the main character, is seeking to avenge his father, who was killed after being led into a trap by Floki and Askeladd. Thorfinn joins Askeladd’s crew in order to kill him, which is why he constantly challenges him to duels.
