Assassin's Creed Mirage

During a Game Rant interview, Assassin's Creed Mirage creative director Stephane Boudon reveals why it doesn't have playable present-day segments.

No, we decided to not put in any present-day or future playable missions in Assassin's Creed Mirage because we wanted to really focus on the story of Basim when he was in Baghdad in the Ninth Century. Whatever side of the fence someone is on with that issue, one game without it certainly isn't a big change when the main gameplay pillars of parkour, stealth, and assassinations return. And while this is a return to form for the franchise, it's not likely many fans will be particularly upset by this. [Basim prior to the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla](https://gamerant.com/assassins-creed-valhalla-basim-loki/). The Animus then still plays a role, particularly in the beginning and the end, but there is no present-day gameplay whatsoever.

Like the original games, there will be stretches of linear mission chains, and then segments where you will be able to choose from a number of different available quests. Ubisoft says you can also expect the return of some classic parkour moves, including the corner swing, and for the pace of freerunning to be faster than in the older games. It is designed to be a modern take on the original gameplay template for the earlier Assassin's Creed games, with developer Ubisoft Bordeaux using the same three design pillars as the original game: stealth, parkour, and assassinations. Not many details were given, but it was said that they provide "opportunities to define the means and path to take down the next target." Much like the early entries in the series, this is a city-set game, and Baghdad is split into four different districts.

The first trailer for Assassin's Creed: Mirage introduces award-winning actress Shohreh Aghdashloo as Roshan, Basim's mentor.

While it wasn't said specifically, the game going back to an action-adventure game could mean that the RPG elements that have been present in the last three entries of the series, Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and the aforementioned Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which have been a divisive addition to fans of the series, could be getting toned back. There were also updates on Assassin's Creed Infinity, which will be a hub for the historical fiction series in the future. As he learns their mysterious rituals and powerful tenets, he will hone his unique abilities, discover his true nature, and come to understand a new Creed – one that will change his fate in ways he never could have imagined.

Le retour aux sources, il est là. C'est du moins ce que promet Ubisoft en nous présentant Assassin's Creed Mirage, qui est décrit comme la parfaite synthèse ...

Malgré le fait qu’Ubisoft consacre une grande partie de sa conférence à ce jeu, on ne sait pas encore exactement quand on pourra poser les mains dessus. Notons en revanche qu’Assassin’s Creed Mirage n’est pas vendu plein pot, ce qui veut dire que le jeu est seulement vendu aux alentours de 50-60 €. Mais attention, si cet animal sera d’une grande aide, les ennemis ne seront plus passif à sa vue, et n’hésiteront pas à le bombarder de flèches. On nous promet aussi que l’on ira visiter le berceau de la confrérie, Alamut. On y suit bien les aventures de Basim, un personnage qui a une place importante dans Valhalla, et dont on découvre ici la jeunesse. De voleur à la sauvette à maitre Assassin, il n’y a visiblement qu’un pas, même si le parcours de Basim promet d’être semé d’embûches.

Ce soir Ubisoft tenait son show, ils en ont profité pour nous présenter plus en détail Assassin's Creed Mirage.

N’hésitez pas non plus à aller vous promener sur notre site pour y découvrir nos divers avis sur des films ou des séries, ainsi que des guides et astuces pour vos jeux favoris, ou encore nos tests et autres dossiers. Voici donc ce qu’ Ubisoft avait à nous montrer sur son Assassin’s Creed Mirage, date, histoire, consoles, on vous dit tout ! Pour se préparer, un collector est déjà présenté.

D'abord connu sous le nom d'Assassin's Creed Rift (rumeurs), Mirage est le prochain opus de la licence d'Ubisoft. À l'occasion du showcase Assassin's Creed, ...

Assassin’s Creed Mirage sera disponible via trois éditions différentes : la classique à 50€, la Deluxe à 60€ et la Collector à 120€. Assassin’s Creed Mirage sortira en effet dans le courant de l’année 2023. Assassin’s Creed Mirage sera un épisode à part, mais cela n’enlève rien à son potentiel qui fait déjà de l'œil à de nombreux joueurs. Le fait qu’on ait réussi avec Assassin’s Creed Mirage à assembler les deux pans des Assassins. Alamut, selon les récits, était la base de la confrérie des Assassins. Tout cela nous permet d’avoir des autoroutes de parkour qui traversent la ville. Il s’agit d’une origin story de Basim, de son passé en tant que vagabond dans les rues de Bagdad à son ascension dans l’ordre créé par Bayek et Aya. L’événement de ce soir a particulièrement mis en avant celle qui sera sa mentor dans le jeu : Roshan. Une nouvelle formule qui a rencontré de nombreux détracteurs, désireux de retrouver les Assassin’s Creed d’antan. C’est ce mix qui marche étonnamment bien qui nous permet d’être très confiants pour la qualité du jeu que l’on va proposer avec Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Notez que Basim est si agile et rapide qu’il peut, d’une certaine façon, ralentir le temps (à la manière de Prince of Persia?).

Assassin's Creed Mirage sortira en 2023, et la précommande vous proposera une quête DLC supplémentaire appelée 40 Voleurs. Aucun gameplay n'a été montré, hélas (juste des intentions de gameplay), mais une bande-annonce cinématographique en CGI raconte l'évolution de Basim d'un simple voleur de rue à maître assassin. Il est conçu pour être une version moderne du modèle de gameplay original des jeux Assassin's Creed précédents, le développeur Ubisoft Bordeaux utilisant les trois mêmes piliers de conception que le jeu original : furtivité, parkour et assassinats.

Official Site. In Assassin's Creed Mirage, you are Basim, a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions seeking answers and justice.

Basim admires the Hidden Ones, and dreams of joining them. Experience a modern take on the features and gameplay that have defined a franchise for 15 years. Uncover the secrets of four unique districts, from the industrial Karkh to the lush gardens of the Round City.

The 13th mainline Assassin's Creed takes inspiration from multiple games across the 15-year-old franchise.

"It's clear from the beginning of the game and for a bit at the end that someone is entering the Animus, and this is an Animus experience. "[Mirage] is not the future of the franchise, it's not a side step, it's not backward. So far, the team on Mirage seems to be on the ball in terms of set dressing, clothing, and architecture. I try to be patient in the meantime, and thankfully, I don't have to wait all that long, as Assassin's Creed Mirage is scheduled to launch in 2023. That switch is going to be the same for the Order of the Ancients and the Templars. And that happens to be exactly the good formula to bring the good vibes for the old geezers--like you and me--and to still be something fresh and new for newcomers." "We always discuss with specialists of the culture of the time period--in this case, medieval Islam--to see what fits every time we have to make a decision, though." Plus, the aforementioned Alamut is a fortress that inspires the Assassin Brotherhood to build similar structures across the Middle East, including the fortress of Masyaf from the first Assassin's Creed. The size of it is something like a Rogue or a Revelations, just to give you an idea of the scope." "You will see the fortress of Alamut, and it's in ongoing construction--the building is not finished, and it's going to take, for some reasons, a lot of time to be completed. "For the size of the city or the map, you can expect something that is as dense as Paris in [Unity](/games/assassins-creed-unity/)," Sala said. "The pace of parkour is definitely faster than the previous games, so you have some tools to help you to go fast," Sala said.

While Assassin's Creed Mirage focuses on Basim's story and struggle, the game also introduces a new mentor in the lore: Roshan.

[Destiny](https://gamerant.com/destiny-2-season-of-the-splicer-quria-osiris-lakshmi/) [ franchise's Lakshmi-2](https://gamerant.com/destiny-2-season-of-the-splicer-quria-osiris-lakshmi/). The two will work closely, and it'll be interesting to see how their mentor-student relationship develops over the course of the game, especially as He will seek answers inside the brotherhood and Roshan will help answer them. Players begin as a street thief, go on their journey as an Assassin, and climb the ranks to Master, but it seems that the two will not always see eye to eye. And she will help him find the answer to his issues, his problems. In the game, they are based in Alamut and this era is just before The Hidden Ones transition into the Assassins.

Ubisoft revealed the first trailer for Assassin's Creed Mirage, showing more about the next entry in the long-running franchise.

Assassin's Creed Mirage creative director Stephane Boudon speaks to how AC1, the Ezio trilogy, Unity, and the modern RPGs influence the upcoming game.

[Assassin's Creed Mirage is set between Origins and Valhalla](https://gamerant.com/assassins-creed-chronological-order-how-play-odyssey-first-last/), but still incredibly close to the time period of AC1. No, in every way, Bordeaux sought to take what made the classic action-adventure games great and modernize them in a way for a proper 2023 title. [Assassin's Creed Mirage is a homage to the classic games](https://gamerant.com/assassins-creed-mirage-game-reveal-announcement/), particularly AC1, but it also draws influence from the open-world RPGs. Meanwhile, the next-to-last mainline action-adventure game, Assassin's Creed Unity, also provided Mirage with "some ingredients and tools."

It might feel strange for a successful series to take a break from its latest evolution to return to its origins, but that's exactly what Ubisoft is doing ...

Compared to the triple-ended sprawl of Valhalla's storyline, Assassin's Creed Mirage is instead a "tightly-crafted narrative-driven" adventure. Obviously, graphically the last few Assassin's Creed titles have set a high bar, but what tweaks will Ubisoft make to make a classic formula feel modern? [Ubisoft Forward 2022](https://www.gamesradar.com/everything-announced-ubisoft-forward-2022-assassins-creed-showcase/). It's almost a complete deviation away from the direction of the last three Assassin's Creed titles. We're joining the story of the returning character some 20 years before the events of Valhalla, to see how he goes from street thief to master assassin. At this point, Assassin's Creed as a series is at risk of developing open-world fatigue. [Assassin's Creed Odyssey](https://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-odyssey-guide/), which was followed by Assassin's Creed Valhalla and its epic Viking tale in 2020. With Assassin's Creed Mirage promising more nuanced detection so you can see exactly who's chasing you down, there's plenty of scope for this to be seriously satisfying. Each assassination will be a black box mission, allowing you to have some freedom as to how you take down your target, but I'm excited to have a tighter focus for each level. Its 2023 launch is perfect timing – both in terms of celebrating the series' 15th anniversary and acting as an intake of breath before the inevitably vast worlds of [Assassin's Creed Mirage](https://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-mirage-guide/). After [Assassin's Creed Origins](https://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-origins-review/) took the classic series' formula and applied it to a vast open-world scale and RPG mechanics back in 2017, we've had almost five years of huge Assassin's Creed titles.
