gamerant.com:

For months now, rumors have been swirling around Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed franchise, with reputable insiders indicating that a new game in the series is on the way. Earlier today, the new Assassin's Creed game leaked online, revealing its title to be Assassin's Creed Mirage, showing some images, and confirming its pre-order bonuses. Instead of ignoring the leaks like most companies would, Ubisoft has decided to get ahead of things and officially announce Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Mirage with a social media post that included some key art for the game and confirmed exactly when fans will get to see more of it. The full Assassin's Creed Mirage reveal is going to take place at the next Ubisoft Forward event, scheduled for September 10 at 12pm PT. At minimum, this means Assassin's Creed fans can expect a proper trailer for Assassin's Creed Mirage, though it's possible a release date will be revealed too, especially since one of the pre-order bonuses have already leaked online.
