World & Level Design | |
Features a detailed and faithful recreation of central London, divided into several iconic boroughs like City of Westminster, Camden, Islington & Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and City of London. Each borough has its distinct architecture, landmarks (e.g., Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus), and atmosphere. The map is dense with activities, collectibles, and opportunities for emergent gameplay. |
The game features a vast open world encompassing large swathes of England (Mercia, East Anglia, Wessex, Northumbria, etc.) and parts of Norway. Additionally, players can visit mythical realms like Asgard and Jotunheim through vision quests. DLCs added Ireland ('Wrath of the Druids') and Francia ('The Siege of Paris'). The total landmass is significant, with diverse biomes including rolling hills, dense forests, marshlands, snowy mountains, and fortified cities like Lunden (London), Jorvik (York), and Wincestre (Winchester). Map size estimations for England alone are often cited as over 120-140 sq km, with other regions adding substantial area. |
