Assassin’s Creed Valhalla dataminers recently discovered files of an Iron Man skin that fires a Unibeam from the chest. The skin is currently not available on Ubisoft’s digital store, but fans are hoping it will be released in the future.
The armor was found by an Assassin’s Creed data miner named Pedder, who previously extracted DLC information from the game’s files that later proved to be accurate. YouTube videos show a red and yellow armor set that fires a laser beam from the chest and a similar white variant. The Unibeam can be activated with the “Battlecry” skill in Valhalla. The pack also includes a mechanical crow, a mount, and two swords.

This isn’t the first time Marvel-related Assassin’s Creed cosmetics have been released. Andy previously showed a video of a Thanos look called “Master of Elements.” This new skin features colored gloves with gems that activate a different ability every few seconds. Some fans are a little disappointed that Ubisoft hasn’t released any of these skins, or even confirmed their existence. Kotaku reached out to Ubisoft about whether or not these skins will be released, but was unable to get a comment at the time of publication.
A Marvel collaboration wouldn’t even be the most unusual crossover to appear in the Assassin’s Creed series. Back when Origins was still receiving updates, players could stumble upon a Final Fantasy Easter Egg in ancient Egypt. Iron Man’s robot mount may be a little out of medieval England, but I’d say the Chocobo mount was a lot more annoying to ride in the desert sands. Assassin’s Creed Fortnite rating continues.
Despite Ubisoft’s issues with delays and cancellations, Valhalla has enjoyed a relatively robust release schedule. This spring, the publisher released the massive Dawn of Ragnarok expansion, which added a bunch of Norse mythology quests to the already massive open-world RPG. Ubisoft has released a Valhalla expansion every year since the game’s initial release, and it shows no signs of slowing down. So I don’t mind too much if the developers spend a little more time tweaking the skins that no one expected from a Viking game.
