In a new video, the Assassin's Creed YouTuber j0nathan revealed previously unknown details. In addition to the name of the game, the possible release date of April to June 2023 was also mentioned.
The setting of Assassin's Creed Mirage
But the setting of Mirage is likely to be far more interesting. This is said to be set in Baghdad in the ninth century and to be much more oriented towards the beginnings of Assassin's Creed. If this is confirmed, the developers seem to have responded to the wishes of the players and returned to the roots of the series. According to j0nathan, you should also be able to explore several well-known cities in the region.
A source has confirmed to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier that some of j0nathan's statements are correct. In particular, the name Assassin's Creed Mirage was also confirmed by him. According to Schreier, however, there will not be several cities to explore. He did not mention who Schreier's source is.
It is still unclear, however, whether the title Assassin's Creed Rift, which was leaked a few months ago, is a codename for Assassin's Creed Mirage. Ubisoft will certainly reveal more information about this at the Ubisoft Forward in September 2022.
Our wishes for Mirage
The last games in the Assassin's Creed series have become more and more RPG-oriented. The original game feeling has been gone for a long time. We would especially like to see much more challenging climbing or parkour passages. A more linear story with more depth and the return of the fight combo would also be really good reasons to buy Assassin's Creed Mirage.
