Assassin’s Creed Mirage
After recognizing that the Assassin’s Creed games were getting far too big, bigger than most their customers wanted them to be, Ubisoft has a plan with Mirage to tighten the focus, and make a new entry in the series that feels more intimate. And indeed, possible to complete without it becoming a full-time job.
Aiming at 15-20 hours, with a more linear plot, what was originally intended to be a DLC for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will now hopefully be 2023’s entry in the franchise. That’s working on the assumption that the other AC projects that we know are in development—codenamed Jade (a mobile game), HEXE (something witchy?), Invictus (a multiplayer thing), and Red (in feudal Japan)—are very unlikely to appear this year.
This one’s in 9th century Baghdad, featuring Valhalla’s Basim Ibn Ishaq, and rather splendidly, features the impossibly brilliant voice of The Expanse’s Shohreh Aghdashloo.
Release Date: 2023
