Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the newest entry to the Assassin’s Creed series and will see the franchise taking a step back in time to give players a more streamlined, stealth-focused experience like the original games, complete with parkour, stealth, and plenty of assassinations, as well as the return of Basim, who will step into the lead protagonist role for the title.
If you are interested in this return to form for the storied franchise, we’ve got all the details on the Assassin’s Creed Mirage in this guide, including its release date, pre-order editions, and trailers.
Everything to Know About Assassin’s Creed Mirage
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, players take control of Basim, a key character seen in the previous game, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, with the game taking place in 9th-century Baghdad.
Mirage is being touted as a return to the old style of gameplay from the early games in the Assassin’s Creed series, focusing on stealth, parkour, and assassinations that made the original games such as Assassin’s Creed 1, 2, and Brotherhood popular.
The game will also feature a smaller, more dense map to explore and will be doing away with the RPG elements like loot and levels in favor of a more streamlined experience, with combat being a last resort, and more focused on stealthy-based gameplay and using your tools, like smoke bombs, blow darts, and throwing knives, as well as other equipment to get through the game.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be released on October 5, 2023, for PC (via Ubisoft Connect, Epic, and Amazon Luna), PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. The game will also be released on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max sometime in 2024.
