Ubisoft has a few franchises that they hold onto closely. One of the franchises that continue to see new installments released and teams consistently working on the next project is Assassin’s Creed. The franchise has just seen a recent release into the marketplace this month with Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Fortunately, if you’re a fan of the IP, then you know that there are a few other projects in the works, including a title called Assassin’s Creed: Hexe. It’s a codenamed project right now, but a new data mine uncovered a tease for the project that was supposedly set to take place after finishing the campaign of Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

In , the final Head of the Order must be found and eliminated to free Baghdad, which turns out to be the former concubine of the Caliphate, Qabiha. Qabiha is a clever woman, and the Palace is well protected when Basim seeks to infiltrate it.

takes plenty of inspiration from the earlier games of the franchise, but that doesn’t mean the series is entirely resting on its laurels. Some areas of the game try to evolve the experience in new ways from its original roots, taking a different direction than the trajectory of previous transformations. One aspect that sees some freshening up is the way that treats quests, and the changes in this particular regard are better than any that have come before, fixing some crucial problems that have long troubled the series.

Assassin's Creed Mirage's special move glitches because the Animus can't keep up with Basim - he's just that good.

represents a concerted effort by developer Ubisoft to return this once immensely popular franchise back to its beloved roots. In spite of abandoning the controversial RPG-style gameplay of the past several entries in the franchise, maintains an impressive array of customization options — most significantly in the character aesthetic department. Though the latest installment in the series has a limited supply of unique outfits and costumes when compared with previous installments, the developer has evidently elected to value quality over quantity as the vast majority of 's apparel options are exceptionally well-designed — though, inevitably, some are so much better than others.

Different targets to assassinate in are difficult to approach without getting caught, especially the well-defended Treasurer. The influence this figure wields lets them sit at the top of Karkh's web of power, where they tax poor merchants to fund the controlling Order. Their true identity has remained a secret as they approach the Bazaar marketplace in search of a rare Eastern hairpin to add to their collection of seized artifacts.

Basim reconnects with his old friend Dervis soon after entering Bagdad in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The man greets him warmly and offers him his old job as a thief back, in a way. From there, players are able to steal rare artifacts from citizens around the city and return them to him.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage lives up to every aspect of its name.

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise has come a long way in 16 years, as the video games evolved from stealth-based action adventures to the more RPG-based fare as seen in 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Evolution is a crucial part of any creative process, and change is necessary, but it’s still essential to stay true to what something is at its core, which is exactly what Assassin’s Creed Mirage does. This isn’t a soft reboot, though, as it slides right into canon, centring on Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in Valhalla.

Fazil the Great Scholar is one of your targets to assassinate in , found in a large Symposium that can be difficult to infiltrate without getting caught. This leader of the Order of Abbasiyah has been conducting human experiments to try and control dark magics. The perverted knowledge wielded by Fazil must be stopped, but his actions' insidious and hidden nature makes him hard to find.

October is here and the month brings a non-stop train of game releases. It is perhaps the busiest month in gaming this year, with major titles fighting for space in the tight window of four weeks. Kicking off things on October 5 is Assassin's Creed Mirage, Ubisoft's next chapter in the long-running assassin's saga. This time, the game opts to shrink its scope and return to its roots with a more stealth and assassinations-based approach. The last three AC titles had adhered to a Witcher 3-style expansive RPG style, drawing criticism for open-world bloat.
