Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the latest installment of Ubisoft’s most successful game series. The $4 billion gaming company is all set for the release of Mirage on 5th October and fans cannot wait to see what awaits them. They designed the latest game to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the series. It is a tribute to the original Assassin’s Creed game from 2007.
Following the 2020 release of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a lot of buzz has surrounded the franchise. In fact, many leaks have surfaced since the game’s announcement. That being said, a recent gameplay footage leak has sent shockwaves through the gaming industry.

A YouTuber who goes by the name Dr. Stealth recently put up a leaked gameplay video of AC Mirage on YouTube. This leak included about 13 minutes of gameplay, which was later taken down due to a DMCA takedown notice.
However, the leaker proceeded to upload over 1 hour and 30 minutes of gameplay a few hours later. Fans can see gameplay elements such as cutscenes, combat, and stealth takedowns. The footage also gives insight into the Valhalla-inspired HUD, menu, and ability selection screen.
Although it is unclear how the YouTuber got his hands on the game, they continue to post gameplay videos online. Usually, a DMCA takedown removes the leaked content, and the leaker’s account YouTube profile typically faces suspension. But in this case, that hasn’t happened yet.

It won’t come as a surprise if Ubisoft presses charges against Dr. Stealth.
Leaking sensitive information is a crime and a punishable offense. This leak has the potential to be highly damaging to Ubisoft, given that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is scheduled for release on October 5. With less than a month for the game’s release left, such a leak can strongly impact the sales of the upcoming game.
It remains to be seen how long it will take for a DMCA takedown notice to be issued for the extended gameplay footage.
