It's woke because it doesn't even bother to try to be remotely historically accurate.
At least the previous trilogy (and the few after) tried to immerse players in the time period. You didn't have women warriors fighting in the front ranks with Napoleon's men in Assassin's Creed Unity, nor did you have to worry about unnecessary gay romances thrown into Assassin's Creed Brotherhood or Assassin's Creed III.
There comes a point where being woke isn't just about flagrantly throwing around anti-White hatred, and conspicuous misandry, it's also about distorting and rewriting history, changing culture based on modern ideological bents (viz., how often did you raid and rape in Assassin's Creed Valhalla with the Berserkers? I'll answer that for you even though I haven't played the game: you probably had typical Ubisoft style "raids" similar to the Far Cry enemy encampments where you killed x amount of enemies and captured certain points on the battlefield, and there were absolutely zero rapes, zero desecration of holy places with the dismemberment of clergy, and zero razing of villages that included women and children).
There was an opportunity for the game to be more than a vanilla, anachronistic modern retelling of Vikings through the lens of Left-wing agitprop, but that authentic depiction is definitely not what Assassin's Creed: Valhalla was.
and zero razing of villages that included women and children
I remember seeing one of the game trailers early on showing MALE Eivor (the horror) and his band a Vikings razing a village. There’s a part where he briefly lowers his axe and nods at a woman and her two kids to pass him and his gang unharmed.

As if.
