Assassin's Creed Mirage: How the Ezio Trilogy, Unity, and the AC RPGs Shape the New Game
As part of Assassin's Creed Mirage's reveal in Ubisoft Forward, the company states that a «little bit of everyAssassin's Creed game is in Mirage,» with Game Rant speaking with creative director Stephane Boudon to get more details on this.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is taking the franchise back to its root, being an action-adventure game focused on the story of Basim's rise to master assassin. Players will be able to explore Baghdad and the Hidden Ones' stronghold of Alamut, with the core gameplay focusing on stealth, parkour, and assassinations. Assassin's Creed Mirage is a homage to the classic games, particularly AC1, but it also draws influence from the open-world RPGs.
How AC Origins' Bayek and AC's Altair Influenced the Assassins
Boudon referenced AC Mirage's setting following the walled cities of AC1, while also having to honor the future of the Hidden Ones/Assassins with Altair a few centuries afterMirage. But it's not just AC1. Boudon says fans can expect the most influential games, generally speaking, to beAssassin's Creed 1 and the entire Ezio trilogy. Meanwhile, the next-to-last mainline action-adventure game, Assassin's Creed Unity, also provided Mirage with «some ingredients and tools.» AC Unity was built with parkour in mind, butMirage looked at how to modernize these features and provide them with the best quality possible. Boudon also added that the crowds of Unity were another inspiration:
