It is the thirteenth major installment in the Assassin’s Creed series and serves as the successor to 2020’s “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.“ The game is scheduled to release on October 5, 2023, for various platforms, including Amazon Luna, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Set in 9th-century Baghdad during the anarchy at Samarra, Mirage follows the journey of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in Valhalla, as he transforms from a street thief into a full-fledged member of the Assassin Brotherhood. The Assassins fight for peace and liberty, opposing the Templar Order, which seeks to achieve peace through control. This installment emphasizes a return to the series’ roots with a focus on linear storytelling and stealth gameplay, in contrast to recent open-world and role-playing elements. Gameplay in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is reminiscent of earlier titles in the series, featuring a more linear and story-focused approach with reduced role-playing elements. Core gameplay elements include parkour, close-quarter combat, and stealth. The game adopts the Black Box design for assassination missions, allowing players to explore the environment to find different ways to eliminate their targets. The game’s primary setting is the city of Baghdad, divided into four districts, with additional locations like Alamut, the fortress headquarters of the Hidden Ones. The game introduces a skill tree for upgrading weapons and tools, including the Hidden Blade, smoke bombs, throwing knives, and poison darts. The protagonist, Basim, has access to Eagle Vision and an avian companion named Enkidu for scouting. Mirage introduces a new ability called “Assassin Focus,“ allowing Basim to eliminate multiple enemies simultaneously while remaining undetected. The game also features various poles for traversing wide gaps and improved mobility animations. The storyline is a coming-of-age story set before the events of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, focusing on Basim’s transformation into a Hidden One under the mentorship of Roshan. Development of Mirage aimed to create a game celebrating the series’ 15th anniversary, with a main campaign lasting approximately 15–20 hours, similar to older games in the franchise. It was originally an expansion for Valhalla before becoming a standalone release. The game includes an educational database on the history of Baghdad, and it features compatibility with a haptic vest by Owo.
