Assassin’s Creed Mirage Started As Valhalla DLC With Eivor In The Middle East

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).

Publisher Ubisoft and developer Ubisoft Bordeaux will release Assassin’s Creed Mirage for iPhone 15 Pro in early 2024, the companies announced.

Apple has finally unveiled its next-gen A17 Pro SOC which features a brand new GPU that packs ray tracing support, MetalFX Upscaling & brings AAA games to iPhones.

Apple has announced plans to bring several high-profile console and PC games to one of its upcoming iPhone models.

Mirage feels like a return to the series' roots but the smart implementation of mechanics and features from later games ensures it still feels modern.

With the past few games in the series it's felt like Assassin’s Creed has lost a little bit of what made it so special back when it launched in the late 2000’s. Don’t get me wrong: Odyssey and Valhalla were extremely solid RPGs that offered a vast and unique setting and a definite bang for your buck in the runtime department, but there’s something about those games that didn’t necessarily feel necessarily “Assassin’s Creed” due to their hefty open-world settings and heavy RPG gameplay mechanics. Thankfully, the next installment in the franchise is Mirage, and based on my playtime with it so far, it manages to capture what made the series so special and brings the social stealth history simulator back to its roots in the best way possible.

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.

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?

Virtual photography might be a fairly young trend in gaming, but it’s one that’s got a large number of fans, to the extent that games not having a photo mode can often be quite a disappointment for audiences. One franchise that has consistently delivered solid photo modes in recent years is, of course, Assassin’s Creed, and that won’t change with its upcoming instalment.

During my cover story trip to Ubisoft Bordeaux in France, my hands-on time consisted of Baghdad exploration and contracts. The former was good fun – Baghdad feels almost like a 2023 spiritual reimagining of Jerusalem in 2007’s Assassin’s Creed, with plenty of rooftops and parkour paths to hit from objective to objective. But the latter was the highlight of my experience.
