Hey gamers, put your parkour skills to the test, ’cause Ubisoft just rolled out Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Playable on a laundry list of platforms, from PS4 and PS5 to Xbox Series X | S and Xbox One, and let’s not forget Amazon Luna and PC via the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store. If you’re old enough for the M for Mature tag, you can cop the standard edition for 50 bucks or euros. Ubisoft+ subscribers, you’re in luck—get your hands on the game right from day one on Xbox, Amazon Luna, and PC.
15 Years Strong and Counting
Celebrating 15 years of cloak-and-dagger action, the game’s development was spearheaded by Ubisoft Bordeaux. The new chapter is all about revisiting those core Assassin’s Creed elements—parkour, stealth, and of course, assassinations—that made the franchise legendary.
Meet Basim: Thief Turned Master Assassin
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you’ll be doing more than just climbing walls and skulking in shadows. Meet Basim Ibn Is’haq, a young thief with secrets who becomes a part of the Hidden Ones. As you dig deeper into the game, you’ll not only master the arts of assassination but also unravel the mysteries surrounding Basim’s unique destiny.
Baghdad: A Journey Back in Time
The game takes you back to ninth-century Baghdad during its Golden Age. Navigate the crowded streets of the Abbasid Caliphate’s capital, bump into historical landmarks, and get a taste of the rising tension leading to a full-blown revolution against corruption.
Authenticity Takes Center Stage
Ubisoft didn’t take any shortcuts with this one. A special task force made up of both Ubisoft peeps and external historians worked together to ensure that this installment is legit in its historical and cultural portrayal. Oh, and it’s the first in the series to feature full Arabic localization. Mad props for that.
Learn as You Play
For the history buffs, an in-game feature called the History of Baghdad is your go-to source for soaking up knowledge about the game’s rich setting.
Cross-Platform Goodness
All your game progress is synced across platforms thanks to Ubisoft Connect. Participate in time-limited challenges, snag in-game rewards, or just chill with friends. The cross-game loyalty system means you can rack up Units for some exclusive in-game loot.
So there you have it, peeps. Whether you’re an Assassin’s Creed veteran or a newcomer, Mirage is locked, loaded, and ready to take you on a historical joyride.
