Ubisoft is issuing the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Update 1.2 today which brings with it some much-requested features. For starters, players will finally be able to transmog their Eivor. This allows them to visually change their gear while still equipping the items they want.

In addition to the transmog, the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla update 1.2 also includes some new skills, camera options and extra cats into the game. Yes, you read that correctly. Ubisoft is adding more cats into the game and scattering them around England. The developer says it is the best kind of clutter.
