It’s finally here, the much anticipated latest instalment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise is finally available to play from today. We’ve been on the edge of our seats ever since Ubisoft first announced Assassin’s Creed Mirage way back in 2022, but the long wait is over.
We’ve put together everything you need to know about Assassin’s Creed Mirage to ensure you’ve got all those much-needed assassin tricks and parkour moves at the ready.
The Gameplay
Assassin’s Creed Mirage focuses on the origin story of Basim, a cunning street thief plagued by nightmarish visions. On your hunt for justice and answers, join the ranks of an ancient organisation, The Hidden Ones. As you unravel the secrets behind a new creed, you’ll soon discover that your fate will also change.
Hone your skills as a deadly Master Assassin by completing contracts assigned by the Assassin’s Bureau, collecting vital clues, and taking down critical targets. Aiding you on assignments is a huge assortment of unique weaponry and tools, along with your stylish parkour skills which allow you to experience the city of Baghdad like never before.
On your journey through this narrative-driven adventure, you’ll meet an inspiring cast of characters who will be influential in shaping Basim’s destiny. This includes:
- Roshan
- Nehal
- Ali
Explore Ninth Century Baghdad
The backdrop to Assassin’s Creed Mirage is stunning ninth century Baghdad. This vibrant dense city is packed full of inhabitants who will react to your every move.
Venture through the four different districts, from the industrial Karkh to the Round City’s lush gardens, and uncover their hidden secrets. Experience real-world events and meet historical figures who will shape the future of Baghdad.
In addition to exploring the city of Baghdad, you’ll also be able to journey to iconic locations from the Assassin’s Creed franchise. This includes Alamut, the infamous home of the legendary Assassins who crafted the foundations of the Creed.
Does Assassin’s Creed Mirage Include Multiplayer?
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a purely single-player experience, meaning there is no multiplayer or co-op modes. However, you can still show off your parkour moves and epic assassinations by live streaming all the gameplay to your friends.
