Guys, you seem to be forgetting that Origins and Odyssey both took place before the Assassin Brotherhood was founded in 47 BC, that was why they were more so "killers creed" than "assassin's creed", you could still assassinate people in them but Ubisoft put a greater focus on improving the actual combat because they looked at their metrics and saw that far more players played AC as an action game than as a stealth game.
Origins shows the founding of the Assassin Brotherhood at the end of the game, while Odyssey is set about 400 years before the founding of the Brotherhood. Valhalla seems to be set sometime around 873 AD, long after the Brotherhood as founded, just a few hundred years before Altair and Assassin's Creed 1. We are playing as an actual Assassin this time, hence the hidden blade, with rumors suggesting that 1 hit assassinations are back, instead of having assassination damage be gear based with some enemies not dying from an assassination if they were higher level or were bosses with too much health. And while a viking Assassin may seem like a contradiction, we've known since a 2017 novel released that the Assassins had a Scandinavian Enclave by 985 AD, which worked to oppose a proto-Templar presence in Scandinavia which was trying to topple King Eric the Red. We'll likely be seeing the foundation of the Viking assassin enclave about 100 years earlier in AC Valhalla, our player character may be the first viking assassin, inducted into the Brotherhood while outside of his home country on a Viking raid sometime early in the game.

thank you...
would have made zero sense for to have assassins before the brotherhood was even though of being formed. I don't think alot of people follow the lore of AC games.
