Legendary Director John Carpenter Loves Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

John Carpenter is famous for directing classic movies such as Halloween, The Thing, and They Live. And he recently revealed that he is a big fan of the video game Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

He praised the game on Twitter, complimenting features such as the “open world,” the beautiful design, and the “great gameplay.” Carpenter is apparently a fan of the series in general and called Valhalla “a return to excellence in the franchise.”
