You can now dress Mirage's hero Basim in the Viking clothes of Assassin's Creed Valhalla's main character Eivor.

After more than a decade of progressively bigger and more complex games, last year's Assassin's Creed Mirage reset things back to the series' origins: a city-sized story and map in the sands of the Middle East, with a far more manageable play time.

Mirage launched alongside the franchise's 15th anniversary, and acts as something of a capstone to its recent era.
