Assassin's Creed Mirage gameplay trailer delivers pole vaulting, finger-blades, and an October release date
At the PlayStation showcase on Wednesday we got another look at the next Assassin's Creed game, along with a big bonus: a release date. Assassin's Creed Mirage will release on October 12.
The Assassin's Creed Mirage gameplay trailer above shows off a lot of familiar-looking action set pieces, like the classic dive from a roof onto a soft landing spot, discovering vantage points perched high above the city, a winged animal companion, and a whole lot of neck-stabbing.
But there's some fun new stuff to gawk at, too. Our protagonist Basim Ibn Ishaq doesn't have the familiar wrist-blade but instead a finger-blade. It's a bit weird, but it looks like his ring finger has been replace with a knife. Pretty hardcore!
He also has a few tricks I haven't seen in an Assassin's Creed game before (granted, I haven't played the last two), like throwing a smoke bomb at his feet to vanish from a pack of enemies, ninja-style, and a pole-vaulting ability to enhance his already fearsome parkour skills. The setting of 9th century Baghdad, where Mirage takes place, looks just as highly-detailed as you'd expect from the series, too.
