October is a packed month, to say the very least, and it’s starting its glut of major new releases with a bang when Assassin’s Creed Mirage releases not long from now. To hype up its imminent launch, Ubisoft recently released a new trailer to offer another glimpse at what the game will have in store, and now, it’s also been revealed when its reviews will go live.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Hands-On Impressions – Slicing Up Some Comfort Food
12.09.2023 - 12:28 / wccftech.com
For some time now, more, more, more has been Ubisoft’s mantra for each new Assassin’s Creed. More content, bigger worlds, deeper RPG systems. The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage breaks from this trend, with developers Ubisoft Bordeaux and Ubisoft Montreal aiming to deliver a stripped-down action-adventure experience in line with earlier entries in the series. It’s an approach that’s generated some excitement, particularly from old-school fans, but can you really go back again? Has Ubisoft managed to recapture the feel of those older AC titles, and even if they have, is that a worthwhile accomplishment?
I recently had the opportunity to go hands-on with Assassin’s Creed Mirage, playing through two introductory sections and a full later-game mission, amounting to around four hours of gameplay in total. This hands-on session was conducted on PC remotely via the cloud, but Ubisoft’s streaming tech was up to snuff as I didn’t detect any serious input lag or artifacts. So, does this latest Assassin’s Creed cut the mustard (along with everything else)? Scroll down for my initial impressions.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage casts players as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla supporting character Basim, with the action kicking off in the small town of Anbar near Baghdad. When we first meet Basim, he’s still a young man surviving as a street thief along with female pal Nehal (as you might expect, the two have a bit of a flirty thing going on, and I have a feeling Nehal will pop back up as a key character later in the story). While the opening of the game seems generally lighthearted, Basim is also suffering from dark, portentous visions. Mirage’s narrative gets rolling pretty quickly, as Basim is recruited to do a job for the Hidden Ones and is recruited by the Assassins upon successfully completing the task.
Ah, but Basim doesn’t become a full member of the Brotherhood right away. The next sequence I played through took place in and around Alamut, a secret desert fortress that essentially acts as an Assassin training camp. Here we see Basim train under the veteran Assassin Master Roshan and eventually earn his hidden blade (while the section I played here only lasted around half an hour, a video montage I was shown hinted I didn’t see everything it had to offer). These early sections of Assassin’s Creed Mirage largely act as an introduction to the game’s basic building blocks – parkour, stealth, and combat – with some mixed results.
Parkour flows well enough, with Basim scrambling up and over terrain fluidly, particularly during more linear challenges. That said, once the level design opens up more, issues that have long plagued this series crop up – you’ll find yourself climbing up things you don’t want to climb or,

Ubisoft Bordeaux On Its Nostalgic AC1 Filter In Assassin's Creed Mirage
Assassin's Creed Mirage brings players to Baghdad in 861, during its Golden Age when it was the cultural and technological epicenter of the region. The city feels alive with merchants, townsfolk, guards, palaces, and more. It's vibrant, lively, and, well, looks and sounds like a city. It's painted with hues of desert orange and «Arabian Nights» blue skies, something intentional, according to artistic director Jean-Luc Sala.

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.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage's PC specs are here, and I think my ancient laptop can run it
Prior to joining RPS and coming into a possession of an Actual Contemporary Gaming PC, I did all my gaming on a plucky Erazer laptop from circa 2014. The old warhorse has certainly had some adventures, to the point that it isn't really a laptop anymore but a hovering debris cloud of plastic and metal, constellated by strips of sellotape, from which a moving picture may be hesitantly conjured by means of sweary arcane rituals and the careful deployment of desk fans.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Clip Showcases Silky Parkour Gameplay
The Assassin’s Creed pendulum is about to swing back with the upcoming Mirage, which is promising a gameplay experience that will resemble the series’ older entries in more ways than one, from its focus on stealth and its lack of RPG mechanics to its smaller world and its shorter runtime. Another key element that it’s bringing back with a renewed focus is parkour, and Ubisoft has offered another glimpse of what that will look like.
