Assassin’s Creed Mirage is now just a week away from launch now, and though it won’t be long before players have their hands on the action-adventure title, there’s still plenty of hunger for new details. And new details have indeed emerged. With days left until the game’s launch, its full list of Trophies and Achievements has leaked, courtesy of PowerPyx, and as you’d expect from an Assassin’s Creed game, it’s quite a grindy Platinum.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage feels like more of a throwback than it should

Considering the massive worlds, endless side activities, and propulsive “numbers go up” progression systems of recent Assassin’s Creed games, it can be easy to forget that the series began as a detective game. Assassin’s Creed Mirage seems hell-bent on reminding us.
Touted as a return to the franchise’s roots in social stealth and investigation, Mirage also strikes me as a reset, maybe even an attempt at a course correction, before whatever comes next. I played two and a half hours of Ubisoft Bordeaux’s upcoming release, and while much of it served as a pleasant reminder of Assassin’s Creed’s past, just as much reminded me why the series evolved to begin with.
My time with the game was split between three non-consecutive chapters. In the first, I explored the streets of Baghdad as Basim Ibn Ishaq, who many players will remember as their mentor in Valhalla. Being a prequel to the Nordic adventure, Mirage casts Basim as a talented street thief — so talented, in fact, that he draws the attention of the Hidden Ones (who later evolve into the Assassins we all know and love). As Basim, I run a few errands, pick several pockets in bustling markets, and dart along the rooftops of a gorgeous, if a bit homogeneous, Baghdad.
Although Ubisoft asked me to avoid initiating any side quests during my preview of Mirage, I still took the time to interact with Basim’s neighbors, fellow thieves, and the city’s cats. (You can not only pet the cats, but also pick them up so they can rub their furry scent glands all over your face.) As someone who cites Origins as the best entry in the series, I couldn’t help but appreciate the local, intimate feel of these opening chapters. If I hadn’t been moving through the demo at such a brisk pace, I suspect I may have gone down several more alleyways just to witness more people living out their little slices of life. Although I only saw a small fraction of the game’s map, which centers on Baghdad but includes several outlying provinces and unsettled areas, I got the sense that I may actually be able to see all of it once I fully dive into the full game. Mirage will take around 20 hours for completionists to beat, according to lead producer Fabian Salomon.
The second section of my demo covered Basim’s initiation into the Hidden Ones, the forging of his first sword, and, naturally, an introduction to Mirage’scombat system, which I would describe as extremely simple. It looks flashy, don’t get me wrong — Basim dual-wields a sword and a dagger, giving him some bespoke choreography that we haven’t seen elsewhere in the series. But by and large, melee interactions came down to the same old attack, dodge, parry, counterattack, repeat routine that marked a litany of third-person games in

Assassin's Creed Mirage Maintains the More Traditional AC Vibes in Its Final Trailer | Push Square
Ubisoft has made it abundantly clear that Assassin's Creed Mirage is, to a large extent, a throwback to the older style of Assassin's Creed. A greater focus on stealth, a stripping of (most) RPG systems, and a smaller, more intricate sandbox map all contribute to a game that's paying tribute to its roots.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Trophy List Demands a Lot of Busywork for the Platinum | Push Square
It would seem as though the Trophy list for Assassin's Creed Mirage has appeared online, ahead of its launch next week. It contains a total of 51 Trophies, made up of 1 Gold, 15 Silver, 34 Bronze, and of course, an all-important Platinum. Overall, the list looks fairly straightforward, but it's probably going to require a good deal of grinding.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage PC System Requirements Announced Ahead of Launch
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.
