[Console Games] Assassin's Creed Mirage: everything we know so far

[BirSaNN]

Assassin's Creed Mirage has been officially unveiled

 

Assassin's Creed Mirage has been confirmed as the next Assassin's Creed game. It takes the series to Baghdad, and seems to be a more traditional take than recent entries. What we know is that Mirage looks to be a decidedly different experience, focusing own smaller-scale stealth and exploration.

Starring Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Basim Ibn Ishaq, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage will take us to Baghdad, 20 years before the events of Valhalla, and will take the decades-spanning series back to its roots. This means a more self-contained play area, and a renewed focus on assassinations and stealth mechanics. From what we've seen, it looks to have more in common with the very first game than any released in the last few years.

This is, of course, music to the ears of some Assassin's Creed fans, many of which who've felt the series straying further and further from the core mechanics that initially defined the series. Whether it sticks the landing remains to be seen, but things do sound promising so far. To help keep you in the loop with all things Assassin's Creed Mirage, you'll find all of the latest news and rumors right here on this page. Here's what you need to know.

 

Assassin's Creed Mirage is coming in 2023, though we don't have a specific release date just yet. Ubisoft confirmed the game's existence and release window following a ton of leaks around the upcoming title.

In terms of platforms, Ubisoft has confirmed that Mirage will be a cross-generation release. As such, expect to see it on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, and cloud streaming service Amazon Luna. There's unfortunately no free upgrade between generations, but it's also cheaper than recent big releases, launching for $49.99 / £39.99 RRP.

We may see a Nintendo Switch release, given Assassin's Creed Odyssey came to the handheld hybrid via cloud streaming. It's worth noting that was limited to the Japanese market, so we can't say for certain one way or the other.
