The cinematic trailer includes King Alfred the Great. This real historical figure became King of Wessex in 871 and then King of the Anglo-Saxons in around 886, sending his soldiers into battle against the Vikings.

You'll play as Eivor, a warrior and Viking clan leader. While not shown in the trailer, you will be able to choose which version of Eivor you want to play, male or female. The game is expected for launch for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Stadia, as well as Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
