Ubisoft has announced that Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage will be the next game in the highly popular history-hopping action franchise, with the release date window already lined up.<\/p>\n
The game\u2019s creative director St\u00e9phane Boudon has said: \u201cAssassin\u2019s Creed Mirage is a tribute to the franchise, and notably to the original game. We are bringing a modern take on the iconic Assassin\u2019s Creed gameplay experience, as well as a deep dive into the rituals and tenets of the Hidden Ones, something we think both longtime and new fans alike will be eager to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, what do we know about the Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage release date, and what other details are available regarding its story, setting and platforms? Keep on reading and we\u2019ll dive into all that and more.<\/p>\n
The Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage release date will occur in\u00a02023<\/strong>, Ubisoft has confirmed, with this rather broad release window being announced alongside the game\u2019s initial reveal trailer.<\/p>\n The product page on the website of the GAME<\/a> retail store is listing 31st December 2023 as the Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage release date, but that seems to be a placeholder rather than anything concrete.<\/p>\n If we had to guess, we\u2019d predict that the Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage release date will fall in the second half of next year, allowing Ubisoft to share promo materials at E3 and Gamescom before releasing the game in time for Christmas. We\u2019ll let you know when a date is confirmed, though.<\/p>\n Pre-orders have indeed begun for Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, even though Amazon<\/a> seems to have temporarily run out of stock for the physical copies.<\/p>\n Over at GAME<\/a>, you can order the Standard Edition<\/a> for \u00a344.99 or the Deluxe Edition<\/a> for \u00a349.99, and there\u2019s also a Collector\u2019s Edition<\/a> priced at \u00a3129.99 that comes with a figurine, a steelbook case and other goodies.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that\u00a0everyone\u00a0<\/em>who pre-orders the game will get access to an extra quest called The Forty Thieves, which will apparently allow players to \u201cuncover the mysteries of Ali Baba\u2019s legendary cave\u201d.<\/p> Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage will release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X\/S, Amazon Luna and PC, with the PC release spanning across the Ubisoft Store<\/a> and the Epic Games Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you were hoping to see Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage on Nintendo Switch, then, it would be wise not to hold your breath, although it isn\u2019t unheard of for AC games to get ported onto Switch years after their original release.<\/p>\n The official press bumf tells us that Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage is set \u201cin a magnificent ninth-century Baghdad at the peak of its Golden Age\u201d.<\/p>\n The main playable character will be Basim Ibn Is\u2019ha, who returning players will remember from Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla. He\u2019s been described as \u201ca singular street thief with a mysterious past, who will join the Hidden Ones in Alamut on a quest for answers\u201d.<\/p>\n The developers from Ubisoft Bordeaux have promised to deliver \u201ca narrative-driven action-adventure experience with an intriguing coming-of-age storyline, charismatic protagonists, a majestic open city and modernised legacy gameplay focusing on parkour, stealth and assassinations\u201d.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been revealed that Carlo Rota, who voiced Basim in AC Valhalla, is not returning to the role for Mirage.<\/p>\n In the Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage cast, the role of Basim will instead be played by Lee Majdoub, who you might recognise from his supporting role in the Sonic the Hedgehog films (he plays Agent Stone, Robotnik\u2019s BFF).<\/p>\n We also know that a new character called Roshan will appear as a mentor figure to Basim, with the role being played by Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Expanse, The Flight Attendant, Arcane).<\/p>\n There is indeed a trailer for Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage doing the rounds online at the moment. Its a CGI teaser, as opposed to an extended look at proper in-game footage, but it still gives you a good impression of what Ubisoft is aiming for here. While you wait for the Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage release date to arrive in 2023, this should go some way to tiding you over:<\/p> Can I pre-order Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
