Headlining the Godly Reward set is an outfit based on Altair, protagonist of the originalAssassin’s Creedgame who would appear in multiple entries to follow. While the franchise focuses its attention on different assassins throughout history, Altair has become something of a mascot for the games, to the point that anAltair Mii Fighter costume appears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Also available as part of this free set in the Animus Store are 300 Opals and Yule Festival rewards, according to a post by theAssassin’s CreedTwitter account. However,Assassin’s Creed Valhallaplayers have reported receiving an error when trying to redeem the Godly Reward, and the developers are looking into this. “We’ll be sure to share updates as investigations continue,” the Twitter account said.
Fans of the franchise going back to its roots in 2007 should be happy to see Altair return for the Viking-themed adventure in some capacity, though this isn’t the only way Ubisoft has paid homage to previous games.Assassin’s Creed Valhallaadded limited-timeBlack Flagitemslast month, providing new customization options for the River Raid mode. This giveaway ended on February 23, but as of this writing it isn’t clear whether the Godly Reward will become unavailable in the near future.
The aforementioned River Raids mode was added in a free update last month as one part of the game’s extensive content roadmap. Ubisoft has promised thatAssassin’s Creed Valhallawill have longer post-launch support thanOdyssey, with a number of DLC expansions planned. Hopefully future additions like the free Altair outfit will come to the game marred by less technical problems.
