Assassin's Creed Mirage - Release Date, Stealth Gameplay, And Everything We Know

gamespot.com:

Assassin's Creed is finally leaping back into action later this year, but don't expect this next chapter in the franchise to be a massive departure from the series' roots in the same vein as Assassin's Creed Valhalla. While Assassin's Creed Mirage does have a narrative link to Valhalla in the form of its protagonist, this new adventure is being designed to be a more intimate and back-to-basics approach that circles back to the very first game. Here's everything that we know about Assassin's Creed Mirage ahead of its upcoming release.

Currently, Assassin's Creed Mirage is targeting a 2023 release, and it's rumored that the game will release in August. According to reports, the game has already been delayed internally twice and it has been speculated that Mirage's last-gen versions have been causing some development headaches.

All the usual console suspects will play host to Mirage when it arrives, as you'll be able to play the game on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

While Valhalla gave you a more personal stake in the story with a customizable version of the game's protagonist, Eivor, Mirage will focus on Basim Ibn Ishaq, a young street thief in Baghdad who is inducted into the Hidden Ones. Basim plays a key role in Valhalla, and in Mirage, you'll see how he eventually becomes a key member in the precursor to the Assassin Brotherhood.

Ubisoft isn't ready to reveal what the focus of Mirage is yet, but the company has said in interviews that it has a narrative structure that is much closer to the first Assassin's Creed games. Chronologically, Mirage takes place 100 years before the formation of the Assassin Brotherhood and is set roughly 300 years before the first Assassin's Creed game.
