Insomniac's community and marketing director says a fix is already on the way.
Spider-Man 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and More: New Games on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X in October

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.
Later down the month, we're getting perhaps the biggest exclusive release on PlayStation this year. Marvel's Spider-Man 2, featuring both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable Spider-Men, releases October 20. On the same day, we're also getting the next Mario game from Nintendo. Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Nintendo's first side-scrolling entry in the series since 2012's Super Mario Bros. U, will feature a dynamic level design that can be interacted with to affect gameplay.
On October 27, Remedy Entertainment will release Alan Wake 2, the survival horror absurdist sequel to 2010's Alan Wake. Remedy never shies away from making it weird and expect Alan Wake 2 to build upon its predecessor's David Lynch-inspired nightmarish mystery. October also sees big-name releases like Detective Pikachu Returns, Forza Motorsport, and Sonic Superstars. It is indeed a jam-packed month.
Here are our picks for the biggest games coming to PC and consoles in October 2023.
When: October 5
Where: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X
Old-time fans have been yearning for a condensed Assassin's Creed game since the franchise shifted towards an open-world RPG format for years. The ninth-century Mirage seems to be the cure for that itch, putting you in the shoes of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a cunning thief who joins the enigmatic ‘Hidden Ones' clan and trans under his mentor Roshan to become a prolific assassin, navigating the bustling streets of Baghdad via seamless parkour. Stealth is back in trend, letting you blend in with civilians as you devilishly stalk targets and strike like a snake when the chance presents itself by brandishing hidden blades. Perform air assassinations, eavesdrop and pickpocket NPCs, or send out your eagle to scope out locations from above to become a versatile assassin.
Gone are the complicated levelling systems bloated with numbers and stats, and Assassin's Creed Mirage instead presents an arsenal of tools — throwing knives, traps, smoke bombs, and more — which can be upgraded in efficacy to best suit your playstyle. Pick up contract jobs if you've got time to kill, or simply rest on benches and beds to fast-forward time until night for more sneaky

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review
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.
