This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: 30th April - 6th May 2022
Community
Welcome to the new weekly virtual photography roundup hosted by Aaron Young from The AC Partnership Program.Â
​
Every week, we will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community.Â
​
Aaron is a keen virtual photographer and loves to post his journeys through Assassin’s Creed on Twitter.Â
​
Keep an eye on the site as more weekly shots are added, we are looking for capture across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to the #TOWCBWeeklyCapture for a chance to be featured.
1) Nomad
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins
​
This week’s first capture comes from @_Virtualtourism over on Twitter.
​
A clever shadow shot is first up this week. When I am looking through Assassin’s Creed VP each week, this is the sort of thing I am looking for. I like it when people take different captures you don’t often see. It must have taken some patience to line up both the camel and Senu in one shot.Â
2) CollectionÂ
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
​
Photo number two comes from @UVioletra over on Twitter.
​
Something completely different for picture number two. This virtual photographer’s captures have been on my radar for a few weeks now. I think this set is beautiful, there is an almost storyboard feel going on here.
Â
The greenery is incredible, and really captures the British landscape. I love how Eivor is just walking along, looking like she is the boss of these lands. Â
3) Nights Sky
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
​
This week’s third shot comes from @KayJay1718 over on Twitter.
​
This is an incredible capture. I am guessing Eivor is in Norway here judging by the landscape. I just can’t believe how much detail has been captured here in the sky. You have the Sun rising, the stars shining brightly and then this gorgeous red tint. Not to mention the shooting star flying across the sky.
4) The Witcher
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
​
VP number four comes from @shinobi_space over on Twitter.Â
​
My first thought when I saw this picture was The Witcher CGI trailer. This capture very much sums up the ‘Dark Ages’ in which this game is set. I love how dark and ominous the scenery is, and the fact that Eivor feels the need to travel by torch light. I would love to have this as a canvas on my wall.
5) Holy Armour
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
​
The final capture of the week comes from @Milz_VP over at ACFirstCiv Community.
​
The final shot of the week showcases the Holy Armour. You could be forgiven for thinking this capture comes from Elden Ring. For me personally, I prefer more grounded Viking sets but thought this looked too good not to enter.
Â
The shield in particular matches so well with this gear set. In fact Eivor looks more like a villain here marching towards their target.
And that sums it up for this week’s Assassin’s Creed virtual photography recap list!
Â
Thank you for checking out this week’s photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them. Until next week keep those shots coming in.
