Assassin’s Creed Mirage coming to iPhone 15 Pro in early 2024

Please think of your fellow assassins before you start blurting out spoilers online.

Though Ubisoft’s upcoming stealth action thriller Assassin’s Creed Mirageplans to return the series to its roots by revisiting Baghdad, an interview with senior developers on the title has revealed that the action game will be visiting yet another iconic location from the series’ past.

Clockwork Labs has found the right musical talent to bring their independent, cross-platform MMORPG, Bitcraft to life, as it gets closer to alpha. Composer Austin Wintory will compose the game’s music along with Canadian composer and vocalist, Rachel Hardy. 

NIS America will re-release excellent JRPGs Trails of Cold Steel 3 and Trails of Cold Steel 4 as a PS5 duology in 'early 2024'. The two games are currently available separately on PS4, but the publisher now has a history of porting Falcom titles to Sony's current-gen console. Ys 8 and Ys 9 are two such examples.

As indicated by recent ESRB ratings, NIS America will bring The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3 and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 4 to PS5 in early 2024. They’ll be available separately on the PlayStation Store and physically as a two-in-one pack. Check out the announcement trailer below.

After launching for PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch, Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler 2 is coming to Xbox. It will be available in early 2024 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC via the Microsoft Store while also launching on Game Pass. Check out the announcement trailer below.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is prepping for its October 5 launch and ahead of that, Ubisoft has dropped system requirements for the same. Unlike the norm with AAA PC games these days, this ninth-century Baghdad-set title appears to be rather forgiving on hardware, essentially going back an entire graphics generation. Running the game on Ultra settings does not require AMD's latest 7000 or Nvidia's 40 series cards. That said, the accompanying ‘PC Features' trailer shows Intel as its official partner, assuring that it's been optimised for the Arc GPUs and the respective 13th-Gen processors. This feels like a weird choice since it's not a really popular graphics card in the PC gaming community.

Interscope in partnership with Ubisoft are set to release Mirage (for Assassin’s Creed Mirage) music by OneRepublic featuring Mishaal Tamer. This is the first time the Assassin’s Creed® franchise collaborates with a top 50 global artist. This aligns with the dedication and effort that has been invested in Assassin’s Creed music over the years, resulting in a Grammy Award this year.

Ubisoft has partnered with Intel for the PC version of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which means you can expect specialized Intel support for the open world action-adventure title on the platform when it launches not long from now. To highlight some of those features, the publisher has released a new trailer, which you can view below.

Alongside highlighting some of the key features you can expect from Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s PC version – including support for Intel’s XeSS – Ubisoft has also revealed the game’s system requirements across four different presets, and by and large, they’re not too terribly demanding (depending on which preset you’re looking at).

Square Enix’s Splatoon-like multiplayer shooter Foamstars received a new trailer during the recent State of Play and a release window. It’s out in early 2024 for PS4 and PS5, but current-gen console players can try it out early with the upcoming open beta.

Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15 lineup at its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, announcing plans to bring some AAA console and PC games to the mobile platform. That is if you purchase an iPhone 15 Pro, which is powered by the cutting-edge six-core A17 Pro chipset that allows for the games to run natively on the device with ray-tracing enabled. Games like Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage will be out on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year and into early 2024. The company has historically boasted about its mobile devices' gaming performance, but this would be the first time we ever actually get to see it in action.
