In recent days, the video game industry echoed the rumors of a new Assassin’s Creed. Today, finally, Ubisoft preferred to go out to confirm part of the information. The next game in the franchise will be called Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and from its first image we can guess that we will return to the Middle East. Although the French company’s statement is quite brief – promising to reveal more on September 10 – some previous reports have already advanced us with multiple details.
First you have to say that the name Assassin’s Creed Mirage It was first leaked by the YouTube channel j0nathan. However, his report was backed up by Jason Schreier, perhaps the most trusted and respected source in the industry. A curious point is that Ubisoft would have planned this game as an expansion of Valhalla. However, the project grew enough to be treated as a standalone title.
According to what was mentioned by youtuber, Assassin’s Creed Mirage takes place in the city of Baghdad at the end of the 9th century, coinciding with the Anarchy of Samarra (a period of crisis of the Caliphate). The setting, in fact, is already exposed in the image that accompanies this publication. The character we see in the material is Basim Ibn Ishaqwho already had a brief presence in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla.
The most interesting of all is that Assassin’s Creed Mirageunlike the last three titles, will return to the roots of the franchise. It is even mentioned that he is quite inspired by the first Assassin’s Creed, which was released in the distant 2007 and is starring Altair. Therefore, Mirage would dispense with much of the RPG mechanics and possibly the vast open world.
