Assassin's Creed Mirage Gets New Arabic-Dubbed Trailer At Gamescom

thegamer.com:

Less than two months left to go until Assassin's Creed Mirage launches on October 5, and as promised, more of the game was shown at Gamescom. A brand new trailer for Mirage premiered during the show, all of which was in Arabic with English subtitles as lead character Basim detailed his mission and more of what Mirage is all about. Ubisoft has confirmed players will have the option to play the entire game that way to make the experience feel more authentic.

Mirage's latest trailer, which you can check out below, was the best example yet that the next game in the series will pull from Assassin's Creed's back catalog. A much shorter, slightly more linear journey as Basim was shown performing actions that have been missing from the games for years. Most notably the footage showing the lead character using curtain boxes on roofs to sneak up on his enemies and perform assassinations, something that has been missing from the games for a long time. Not to mention Basim showing off a whole bunch of his parkour skills.

The gap between Valhalla and Mirage has been the longest one in Assassin's Creed history, so it might surprise fans of the series that Basim's adventure will be a far shorter one than the most recent entries in the franchise. Ubisoft has already confirmed its story will take roughly 20 hours to play through. It also appears to be a lot more linear than other recent Assassin's Creed games as its creators attempt to pay homage to some of the very first AC games.

Creating a shorter game as opposed to one that will take up 100 hours or more of your time may well be a blessing in disguise for a lot of people for a few reasons considering
