Ubisoft has announced a whole slate of upcoming Assassin’s Creed games, with some surprises in the pipeline.
Following a landslide of leaks, Assassin’ Creed Mirage has finally been properly revealed, alongside a host of upcoming spin-offs.
Taking Ubisoft’s time-hopping series back to its roots, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is described as a stealth-focused, narrative-driven game that will release in 2023. TechRadar Gaming was given a few morsels of information during a recent press briefing, confirming most of the speculative details we’d heard about the game to be true.
As previous leaks have suggested, Mirage will follow Basim – a side character first introduced in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla – as he journeys from common street thief to master assassin. Just as another batch of leaks predicted, it’ll be set in Iraq’s capital city of Baghdad, 20 years before the events of Valhalla.
Narrative director Sarah Beaulieu said the game will place a big emphasis on story and memorable characters. As is tradition with Assassins’ Creed games, a few historical figures will pop up as side characters, while The Expanse actress Shohreh Aghdashloo will provide the voice of Basim’s mentor.
