CultureCosplayTechno Viking x Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
My favourite type of cosplay video isn’t the one where fans are recreating scenes from the show/movie/game they’re cosplaying as. It’s cosplayers doing dumb shit like skating as Geralt, or recreating the famous “Technoviking” video, only starring the cast of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Here’s Maul(also star of that Geralt vid) and friends turning medieval England…
