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.”

While this was a surprise to some Carpenter fans, the truth is the director has been a gamer for many years. He has discussed being a major Destiny 2 fan and even threw his name in the ring to direct a movie based on the Dead Space series.

And Carpenter is not alone in his praise of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. We loved the game’s combination of old and new features, and you can read more in our in-depth review.
