Well, this is pretty unique. Discover Ireland has released a promotional video to encourage tourism, and to do so they're using Assassin's Creed Valhalla as a template.
The recently released Wrath of the Druids takes the adventure to Ireland and brings with it some gorgeous vistas to feast your eyes over. If you thought it was all just randomly placed terrain, the advert mirrors the game against the actual locations, giving potential tourists a sense of what to expect when visiting the isle.
You get a glimpse of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's take on places such as Dublin and The Hill of Tara, before it cuts to real life footage. It's pretty crazy to see how close the game is to the real environments, but perhaps even stranger to see it used to encourage people to visit Ireland. That said, it's lovely to see, and shows just how far games have come.
Has AC: Valhalla encouraged you to take a trip to Ireland?! Let us know in the comments below.

Not sure if they do it now but years ago you could do an Assassins Creed tour around Monteriggioni in Italy which serves as the base of Ezio in AC2.
Come to Ireland! Get slaughtered by Vikings!
@Originut it’s still on their website: http://www.monteriggioniturismo.it/it/itinerari/scopri-i-luoghi-di-assassins-creed/
I’ve not travelled much outside the UK but one place I have been is Venice and I did enjoy spotting all the places I spent on my honeymoon when AC2 came out.
I’m also kind of with you on Valhalla. I think it’s the best ‘ACRPG’ game in the series but I do miss the sprawling metropoli of Unity and Syndicate. The gang hideout missions in Syndicate were probably my favourite moment of the series: tiny little puzzles where you have to work out how to off the guards without getting caught.
