The Altair Costume is one of several alternate costumes that Solid Snake can wear in
Guns of the Patriots. It's one of two gifts received at the same time, the other being the
Assassin Emblem. It was originally believed to be a joke, as information about the costume was first revealed on
April 1,
2008, in a video.
[1up: MGS4/Assassins Creed Mash-up (April 1, 2008)] Many Web sites followed it with news, but making note that it was a possible April Fools Day joke. However, the costume was later confirmed by producers. In order to earn both the Altair Costume and the
Assassin Emblem, you must beat the game at least one time. On the second attempt:
