Mirage is the latest entry to Ubisoft’s classic series, Assassin’s Creed. For the past few years, fans have been a little divided over the series’ ongoing legacy. An open world that soars across historical epics with a pinch of fantasy? Oh, heck yeah! A bloated world and repetitive quests and over-the-top action sequences? Uhm, maybe not.
And just like that, Assassin’s Creed fans have been demanding a game that’s loyal to its unique, stealthy roots that dives into the authenticity of a protagonist’s origin story. Assassin’s Creed Mirage may just be the answer.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is coming to Windows PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and Amazon Luna), Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The upcoming entry promises a lot – a beautiful landscape, intricate narrative direction and a questline ready to be explored by older and newer fans alike. But, is your PC ready to handle that kind of heat?

Assassin’s Creed Mirage – Story, Characters, and an Attempt to Bring Back Familiar Gameplay
With Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Ubisoft is bringing back beloved Assassin’s Creed elements that have been somewhat missing from games like Valhalla and Odyssey. Instead of a massive open world that asks you to spend hundreds of hours doing fetch quests, Mirage is a smaller, more focused journey that parkours on the giants of older Assassin’s Creed games.
For instance, combat isn’t as hack-and-slash-centred that relies on aggression. Instead, it’s going to be your last resort when all stealth options seem to be dying out. Hiding behind walls, losing yourself in a crowd of civilians and blending from a watchful eye are going to be your moments of focus. Being quick-witted and discreet will pay off.

The game is set in Baghdad, with Basim Ibn Ishaq exploring the city’s mysteries and antiquities within the shade of 9th-century themes. As Basim, you will be a part of stories that eventually develop your masterful assassin-esque instincts and lead to something larger than life. It’s a direction we’ve been craving for a while, and we can’t wait to experience Assassin’s Creed at its best. What are your thoughts on Assassin’s Creed Mirage? Let us know in the comments.
