Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the latest installment in Ubisoft’s long-running series, adds a new layer of depth by offering a variety of outfits and costumes for the game’s protagonist, Basim. These costumes serve different purposes; while some are purely for aesthetics, others can enhance gameplay. This article aims to rank each costume based on aesthetic appeal, thematic relevance, and overall impact.
Costumes
There are two major categories of clothing available for Basim in Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Outfits and Costumes. Outfits generally provide players with added advantages, such as special abilities and perks. Costumes, on the other hand, focus solely on the visual aspect and do not affect gameplay advantages tied to the outfits.
12. White Patient Robe
Contrary to what its name suggests, the White Patient Robe is not your standard assassin attire. The robe portrays Basim as injured, adorned in torn clothes and bandages. The design lacks elements of a typical formidable assassin. It serves players who prefer to see Basim in something different from the usual hooded attire. It doesn’t come with any added gameplay perks or advantages.
11. Eunuch Tunic
Acquired during ‘The Servant and the Imposter’ mission, the Eunuch Tunic stands apart due to its unique origin. The costume features a fez-type hat and embroidered cloth that offers a royal aesthetic, contrasting sharply with the White Patient Robe. Although it does not offer any gameplay advantages, it can serve for role-play purposes.
10. Scholar Costume
The Scholar Costume offers a distinguished look for Basim. It mimics the garb of scholars from the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. The costume is rich in detail, featuring a white turban, gold patterns, and dark green garments. However, a bulky white cloth around the waist detracts from its overall elegance.
9. King Of Thieves Costume
Available as a pre-order bonus, the King of Thieves Costume complements Basim’s dual identity as a master thief and an assassin. The costume is part of the One Thousand and One Nights collection, adding a unique backstory to its origin. It follows a standard assassin look but with added flair.
8. Desert Traveler Costume
This late-game costume provides Basim with a more menacing look, thanks to its gray and black color palette. The outfit is aptly named, as it also features elements suited for desert travel. Its thematic consistency and visual appeal make it one of the more attractive choices.
7. Basim Valhalla Costume
For those nostalgic for Basim’s attire in previous games, Ubisoft offers a free Basim Valhalla Costume. This is more of a cross-over style, combining elements of different characters and timelines, and may appeal to players who like to play around with canonical inconsistencies.
6. Altair Costume
Mirage allows players to don Altair’s costume from the original Assassin’s Creed game. The costume takes the player back to the series’ roots, and it can even simulate an AC1 experience through a color filter. This costume is not freely available and must be purchased through Ubisoft Connect.
5. Initiate Of Alamut Outfit
This is Basim’s standard assassin outfit and serves as both an outfit and a costume. It incorporates a white and navy blue color palette, reminiscent of other memorable costumes in the Assassin’s Creed series. Its aesthetic and functional benefits make it a notable choice.
4. Treasure Hunter Costume
As the name suggests, the Treasure Hunter Costume is ideal for those focused on looting. It combines elements of elegance and utility, making it an interesting alternative to the more traditional assassin attires.
3. Ezio Revelations Costume
This paid costume from Ubisoft Connect allows players to dress Basim in Ezio’s attire from Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Despite being designed for different climatic conditions, the costume looks surprisingly fitting on Basim.
2. Far East Merchant Costume
Available for purchase in-game, the Far East Merchant Costume provides an extravagant look for Basim. It incorporates intricate designs and a luxurious color palette, making it one of the most aesthetically pleasing options.
1. Master Assassin Costume
The Master Assassin Costume stands as the ultimate costume in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Earning this costume requires completing significant challenges but provides an outfit that perfectly encapsulates the assassin ethos.
Final Thoughts
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the range of costumes available for Basim adds an extra layer of depth and personalization to the game. While some costumes are tied to specific quests and missions, others serve purely aesthetic purposes. The choice of costume can significantly enhance the gameplay experience, either by complementing Basim’s role or by adding a touch of visual flair.
