How to eavesdrop in Assassin's Creed Mirage explained
In the past few years, the Assassin's Creed franchise has abandoned its stealthy roots and veered into more epic and RPG-based territory; 2020's Valhalla took about 61 hours to beat, and had a vast map of almost 100 square kilometres.

Once you're nestled in (or sat down), lock on to whoever's talking to trigger the conversation!
