Get ready to settle back into the Animus, Assassin’s Creed fans. The latest entry in Ubisoft‘s long-running series, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, is almost here.
Set in ninth-century Baghdad, drawing inspiration from Prince of Persia and Arabian Nights, you’ll play as the cunning street thief, Basim Ibn Ishaq. Devoted fans will recognise Basim from the Nordic saga of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, we’ll get a deep dive into Basim’s origin story as he joins the Hidden Ones and trains to become a Master Assassin.
In a move away from the last two games, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will not be an open-world RPG. It’s evident in the lower price point, but in a sit-down interview with the game’s executive producer Marc-Alexis Côté and IGN, it was revealed that Mirage was “a smaller Assassin’s Creed project” and that, going forward, the length of future titles in the series would vary.
While that might be a disappointment for open-world fans, it does spring to mind the shorter 15 to 20-hour campaigns fans enjoyed with the initial series. The decision was made to cater to some Assassin’s Creed fans’ desires to see a more character-driven storyline and return to the roots of the original games.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage was scheduled to be released on October 12 but has been bumped up a week to October 5. Now take a leap of faith and let’s see where we can find a copy of Assassin’s Creed Mirage for cheap.
