Assassins' Creed Mirage's Permadeath Mode Finally Arrives Today

A Baldur's Gate 3 player who, by their own admission, role-plays "a klepto monk that practices the Way of the Sticky Hand" found themselves facing the RPG's final gauntlet alone after a spot of petty theft went spectacularly awry. 

The next mainline title, is due to release sometime in the coming year. Whereas last year's took the series back to its smaller, stealth-based roots, seems to be building upon the larger, Action RPG entries that started with 2017 and were last seen in 2020's .

Ubisoft hasn’t yet revealed too many official details on Assassin’s Creed Codename Red (including a final title), the next mainline series in the company’s flagship franchise, though new information on the title continues to emerge through leaks. A new report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed further light on the game.

Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is the next instalment in Ubisoft’s flagship franchise, but we do know about other major releases that are in the pipeline for the years beyond as well. Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, for instance, was announced alongside Red back in 2022 as the game that would follow it.

With the likes of Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, and Assassin’s Creed Invictus, Ubisoft has a number of upcoming instalments in its premiere franchise that have been officially confirmed, but there are several more that are in the pipeline, if reports are to be believed. Past leaks have claimed, for instance, that a remake of the 2013 fan-favourite Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is in development– and interestingly enough, it might not be the only Assassin’s Creed game getting the remake treatment.

Since being announced back in 2021, there have been a lot of questions about what Assassin’s Creed Infinity would even be. We've known Infinity would be a hub of sorts that connects other Assassin’s Creed experiences and includes online elements, but beyond that, things have remained sketchy. Well, we now have some more details from insider Tom Henderson, who has a very good track record when it comes to all things Ubisoft. According to Henderson, he’s laid eyes on demo footage of Assassin’s Creed Infinity, and, surprise surprise, it sounds like it will be a heavily live-service-focused product.

New details about Ubisoft’s planned hub for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, titled Assassin’s Creed Infinity, have been leaked. While Ubisoft itself has been quiet about Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a new report by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson sheds some light on some of the features we can expect from the live service hub when it launches.

There have been several rumors surrounding Assassin's Creed Infinity for quite a while now, and it seems like Ubisoft is going for a novel live-service-based approach for the game. While similar speculations have floated around in the past, the most recent gives a better idea of how the elements will influence the future of the Assassin's Creed franchise.

The number of people playing Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has risen 200% on Steam after the release of fellow Ubisoft pirate game Skull and Bones.

Some eagle-eyed Assassin's Creed Mirage players have noticed that one of the outfits in the game looks suspiciously like a Guardian from Destiny 2. Assassin's Creed Mirage puts players in the shoes of Basim Ibn Ishaq, and it turns out that gamers have one outfit that can make it seem like he's from another universe entirely.

Baldur's Gate 3's top speedrunners are currently battling for the Honour Mode world record.

While the most recent update for Assassin's Creed Mirage added a long awaited and highly requested feature, fans have also discovered a secret new NPC has also been added to the streets of 9th century Baghdad. Ditching the massive, open world trappings of the most recent Assassin's Creed titles, Mirage was seen by many fans as a true return to the classic games. Focusing mainly on stealth action parkour, Assassin's Creed Mirage proved to be a hit with critics and gamers alike, even becoming one of Ubisoft's biggest launches on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
