More Assassin’s Creed Mirage details seemingly leak ahead of full reveal
Following Ubisoft‘s announcement that it will reveal Assassin’s Creed Mirage next week, further details have seemingly leaked.
According to serial Assassin’s Creed leaker j0nathan, the game will feature one city, Baghdad, which will include four individual districts, each with its own boss.
The title, which is reportedly taking a “back to basics” approach for the series, will feature the return of throwing knives, hiding places on rooftops, and a dense amount of NPCs, it’s claimed.
Mirage will reportedly attempt to recreate the crowd density of 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity, which took place during the French revolution and featured a massive number of NPCs on screen at once.
However, this infamously caused severe performance issues, prompting Ubisoft to issue an apology and offer compensation in the form of a free story expansion, Dead Kings.
Following a series of leaks, Ubisoft confirmed on Thursday that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the next game in the series.
It plans to “unveil the future of Assassin’s Creed” on September 10, when it’s set to hold a multi-game showcase.
