Assassin's Creed Mirage's Setting Could Be Great for a New Trilogy

gamerant.com:

Assassin's Creed Mirage is the next entry in Ubisoft's flagship franchise, set to release some time in 2023. It's said to return to the franchise's original formula after the past three entries took a more action-RPG approach, receiving mixed reactions from many long-time fans. But it's not just the gameplay of the series' past that Assassin's Creed Mirage could learn from. The new game could offer a chance to create a new trilogy like the one that made the franchise a household name.

The next major releases after Mirage have already been mapped out by Ubisoft, beingAssassin's Creed Redand Hexe on the Assassin's Creed Infinity platform. That means a direct sequel to Mirage doesn't appear to be in the pipeline yet, let alone two of them. But it could be a real missed opportunity for Ubisoft if Basim's story is kept to only one game. The setting of Assassin's Creed Mirage and its wider role in the series' narrative might make it the perfect candidate for a trilogy akin to Ezio's.

Assassin's Creed 2 remains the only game in the series to have direct sequels with the same protagonist through Brotherhood and Revelations, collectively known as The Ezio Trilogy. The trilogy was well received for remedying weak points of the original Assassin's Creed, while being early enough that the formula had not yet lost its appeal. While it had its fair share of issues, like weak side missions and a hit-or-miss modern story, The Ezio Trilogy's games remain some of the most popular in the franchise.

One of the things that made the trilogy more compelling than some of the other games in the series was its setting, and it's one that is rather similar to that of Assassin's Creed Mirage. Mirage
