Assassin's Creed Mirage Features a Cat With an Assassin's Creed Branded Nose
ign.comOne Assassin's Creed Mirage Easter egg is a little on the nose, literally, as Ubisoft actually added an Assassin's Creed branded cat into the game.
As reported by Eurogamer, Reddit user suckashelfboi101 posted a screenshot of protagonist Basim holding a big fluffy cat with markings resembling the pointy Assassin's Creed logo on its nose.
"Is this cat's face supposed to looks like the Assassin emblem or what because it’s all I can see," they said. "Maybe something the developers put in for fun?"
According to fan account Scholars of the Creed on Twitter, the inclusion wasn't just coincidence or a bit of fun but instead a tribute to one Assassin's Creed fan's cat. A comment from one Facebook user shared an image of what was allegedly a friend's cat who shared the same markings. Whether the developers at Ubisoft saw this or not is unclear, but it's certainly a big coincidence if not.
Assassin's Creed Mirage launched October 5 as a smaller-scale entry that returns players to the series' roots through slower-paced, stealth-based gameplay, veering away from the role-playing game foundations of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
