Assassin’s Creed fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the franchise’s newest installment, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, set to launch on October 5, 2023. The game promises a unique adventure that transports players to 9th-century Baghdad, delving into the narrative of Basim Ibn Ishaq. Familiar to players from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Basim’s journey evolves from a common street thief to a pivotal member of the Assassin Brotherhood. Originally conceived as a DLC expansion for Valhalla, Mirage has evolved into a standalone experience, offering a more compact, linear campaign compared to recent open-world iterations of the franchise.
Unlike the expansive open worlds of recent Assassin’s Creed games, Mirage is designed to harken back to the series’ earlier installments. Emphasizing stealth gameplay, the title reintroduces classic elements such as hidden blades, smoke bombs, and throwing knives. A notable addition is the introduction of the Assassin Focus combat system, enabling players to target and eliminate multiple enemies simultaneously. This new feature adds a dynamic layer to the gameplay, providing players with enhanced combat capabilities.
You can dive into the world of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage on Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store, as well as on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Amazon Luna on October 5th.
