Speaking on his Twitter profile, game director Benoit Richer confirmed that cutscene animations and facial expressions will be improved before launch.

Benoit Richer also commented on the X-Rays assassination sequences seen in the latest Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gameplay showcase. These are not going to happen automatically, as players will be able to trigger them if specific conditions are met.
