So, what are the iconic features and aspects we can expect from this upcoming title?

Over the years, Assassin’s Creed titles have evolved into massive open world games, as seen in titles like Odyssey. However, with Mirage almost here, Ubisoft has promised to take the series back to its roots. So sit tight, as Ubisoft Bordeaux has recently updated fans with a preview of the game. It seems AC: Mirage is going to be the signature Assassin’s Creed game we have all been waiting for.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage: A preview

Set to be released on October 5, 2023, this highly anticipated installment will take players back to the older AC days. This game is based in 9th century Baghdad and will showcase the life of Basim Ibn Ishaq. Basim was first introduced in Valhalla. And now, he will become a full-fledged member of the Assassin Brotherhood, the secret organization that fights for peace and liberty against the Templar Order.

For completionist, the game will demand only 20 hours of gameplay. The missions, combat, and story are all largely inspired by Assassin’s Creed 1. The highly anticipated Eagle Vision is also back. Like in older AC games, instant assassinations and stealth mode are back as well. In order to carry out stealth and assassinations clinically, tools are crucial, like throwing knives, smoke bombs, etc. Not only that, there are several ways to finish your enemies with instant assassinations.

In this preview, we can witness the return of some classic AC features that will immerse us in a nostalgic vibe, but in a new avatar.

In Mirage, a target’s location will not always be marked on the map. To have good intel on the target, you have to help people around your target’s location or scope out the area. There is a mission as well, where you have to meet with the clients and targets. This mission is kind of similar to the missions of the recently released Hitman Trilogy.

Regarding the game’s parkour, lead producer Fabian Salomon has recently stated, “We want the players to enjoy their time in the city through parkour. That means the parkour mechanism is going to be fun in Mirage.”
