Ubisoft has expressed that Assassin’s Creed Mirage serves as a heartfelt homage to the series, paying particular tribute to the inaugural Assassin’s Creed title. Developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, known for their work on the captivating Wrath of the Druids expansion for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the game promises a narrative-driven action-adventure experience, with a contemporary approach to parkour, stealth, and assassination gameplay.

Mark your calendars for the highly-anticipated release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage on October 12, 2023.
