Assassin’s Creed It has always been a reference within the Ubisoft catalog. It’s been 15 years since the launch of the first title, and a few since the reimagining that Origins meant. Now the company wants to go back to the basics, to the beginning, and within the Ubisoft Forward has presented Assassin’s Creed Miragethe new title of the franchise that will arrive next year.
With a release date scheduled for 2023, the exact day still to be determined, Ubisoft once again proposes a title with many reminiscences of the original game, but with everything learned over the years, innovations included. Assassin’s Creed Mirage will take players back to the middle ages, but he will do it in a totally new setting: the medieval Baghdadpart of the origin of the Assassin’s.
Its protagonist is an old acquaintance, not only from the last title released in 2020, Valhallaalso from rebellion. Basim will be the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and the story will tell of his rise from the bottom of the street to the brotherhood of assassins. Of his antagonists, we still know little, but we already know where the shots are going all these years.
Though Assassin’s Creed Mirage It is the announcement of the day, not the only important thing. Ubisoft knows very well the golden goose it has with this franchise, and wants to take it to the extreme. How? Creating your own universe in that its independent games are also part of a whole.
Project Red will be the expected Assassin’s Creed set in japan
On the one hand, Assassin’s Creed Mirage It will not be the only game we will see in the coming years. The company has also listened to its community and has presented Assassin’s Creed Project Red, a title that will be set in feudal Japan, one of the locations that users have requested the most. From Red we have only been able to see the first conceptual art: assassin with shades of shinobi about a typically Japanese castle.
Y Assassin’s Creed project hex, a mystery title for which we will still have to wait. The only thing we have seen, a small conceptual teaser, it seems that it would take us to the time of the witch hunt, around XV-XVI century. What we do know is that the studio in charge of it is Ubisoft Montreal, perhaps the most important due to the weight of its franchises.
Both will be the start of the universe Assassin’s Creed, which Ubisoft has called Infinity; a long-term project that will unite the universes of the game in an animus and that they want to provide with multiplayer capabilities. How he will do it is still a mystery.
AC Infinity is currently made up of AC Project Red Y AC Project Hexe. But we do not rule out the inclusion of elements from other titles in the franchise, at least if we take into account how Ubisoft has explained the project and the mystery that surrounds it.
In total, a whole compendium of games from the franchise that we will see over the next few years:
- AC Mirage (2023)
- AC Project Red (TBA)
- AC Project Hexe (TBA)
- Assassin’s Creed Project Jade (mobile game set in China)
