Assassin's Creed Mirage Adds Valhalla Outfit

gamerant.com:

Eivor's Raven Clan outfit from Assassin's Creed Valhalla has become available for Assassin's Creed Mirage players to redeem and equip with Basim. Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which was released back in 2020, was Ubisoft's latest large-scaled RPG-style Assassin's Creed game. Set during the Viking age of Anglo-Saxon England, Valhalla introduced a new assassin, named Eivor, who was part of the Raven Clan.

With some fans of the franchise feeling alienated by Valhalla's massive size and large focus on open combat, the more recent Assassin's Creed Mirage was an attempt to return the franchise to its roots with a smaller, more stealth-rich gameplay experience. Set in 9th century Baghdad before the events of Valhalla, Mirage tells the story of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character first introduced in Valhalla along Eivor's journey. With a much smaller map, more options for stealth, and an open combat system that feels dangerous and urges players to avoid confrontations, Mirage was largely considered a success for fans of the franchise's earlier games.

Ubisoft has revealed that Eivor's robes from Assassin's Creed Valhallaare coming to Mirage as a wearable costume for Basim. In a short Twitter clip, Ubisoft showed off Basim wearing Eivor's robes while parkouring around the city of Baghdad. Basim getting to wear Eivor's outfit is fitting, considering he made his first ever appearance in Eivor's game. Mirage players will need to use their UbiConnect accounts to redeem the free Eivor costume.

In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Eivor's Raven Clan Armor Set changes its appearance as players upgrade it. Basim's singular version of the outfit seems to resemble different tiers of the robes. It's also worth mentioning that Eivor's long cloak, which was used for stealth, is missing from the outfit. The omission does make sense, though, since the stealth mechanics of Valhalla and Mirage differ wildly, and Basim never wears a full cloak in Mirage. Eivor isn't the first assassin to have his robes worn by
