Siege of Paris | Live Action Assassins Creed Valhalla short film

Shot in a single day at Cragguanowen heritage park, Co. Clare, Ireland, Siege of Paris is a short no-budget fan film that acts as an unofficial prequel to Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Siege of Paris DLC.

War is a fire that just needs a spark. It's 885 AD and the kingdoms of Francia have been united for the first time in a century. Charles the Fat, great-grandson of Charlemagne currently wages a slow war against the Viking settlers in Francia. If he is not stopped, soon he will turn his eyes to England.  Legendary Viking clan chief Eivor Varrinsdottir has been sent for in the hopes she can help the settlers fight back and protect their people.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped to make our little short film a reality!
