Where Assassin’s Creed Odyssey made players choose between playing as Kassandra or Alexios at the start and Syndicate missions often picked a Frye twin for you, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will let players switch between the female and male versions of our lone hero Eivor whenever we please.
And how could we leverage that to make a character that you could choose male or female?
That mostly sounds useful for double-checking which voice actor you prefer and not having to start over if you change your mind.
Though Ubisoft do say this switcheroo hints at some in-universe explanation involving their magic computers and that.
