Fans of Ubisoft’s long-running stealth series can now sample Assassin’s Creed: Mirage for free. For the next two weeks, gamers can download a free trial of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, giving them two hours to try out the latest installment of the franchise.
Following on from the epic Viking saga of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, 2023’s Assassin’s Creed: Mirage delivered an ambitious tonal change of pace for the franchise. This latest installment promised to return to the series’ roots after several years of vast open-world RPG experiences, with a more linear story and gameplay prioritizing stealth and parkour over the hack-and-slash action of Origins, Odyssey, andValhalla. Set in 9th-century Baghdad, the story follows Basim — a returning character with a long road to travel before his appearance in Valhalla’s Saxon Briton – over his journey from street thief to master assassin. Assassin’s Creed: Mirage has also just received a major update focused on ironing out remaining bugs and glitches, meaning now could be a good time to pick up the game for those yet to do so.
From April 16 – April 30, players can try out Assassin’s Creed: Mirage with a new two-hour-long free trial. Progression from the trial will carry over into the full game, allowing anyone who later purchases Mirage to continue the story from where they left off. Whether they already own the game or not, all players will also receive a free Eivor skin for Basim, further linking the two games. Anyone who enjoys the trial can then choose between the different versions of Assassin's Creed: Mirage, including a deluxe edition which comes bundled with a digital artbook, soundtrack, and unique Prince of Persia-inspired content.
Ubisoft has recently released teasers regarding the future of the Assassin’s Creed series. The next major title, code-named Assassin’s Creed Red, will take place in ancient Japan and could potentially be released later in 2024. Popularly associated with stealthy ninjas and noble samurai, feudal Japan has long been a highly demanded setting for the franchise. Other upcoming titles include Assassin's Creed Hexe, an intriguing installment rumored to take place during the witch hunts of 16th-century Germany.
Ubisoft has also announced the evolving live-service hub Assassin’s Creed Infinity, which, beginning with Assassin’s Creed Red, will host all future games in the series. While the exact details of these upcoming releases are largely unknown, gamers can expect more to be revealed during the Ubisoft Forward event planned for June 10, 2024. Until then, gamers can enjoy the Assassin’s Creed: Mirage free trial until April 30 on PlayStation5, PlayStation4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

As an Assassin's Creed girlie, I enjoyed Assassin's Creed Mirage, a pared down (but still big game, which is really just proof of how bloated AAA games have gotten, but I'll stop because it's not time to take my personal bugbear for a walk) Ass Creed game that was closer to the simplicity of the older games in the stab 'em up stealth-action series. Yesterday creative director Stéphane Boudon and art director Jeal-Luc Sala took to Reddit for an AMA, and in response to a question about plans for Mirage DLC, Boudon said no - but that they have ideas for more stories for Basim.
Assassin's Creed Mirage launched in October last year, offering a pared back, back-to-the basics experience reminiscent of older games in the series. The action-adventure title from Ubisoft took players to 9th-century Baghdad, putting them in the shoes of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a street thief who joins the Hidden Ones and rises through the ranks to become a master assassin. While there's no word on if the franchise will revisit the character again, Assassin's Creed Mirage creative director has said that the team has ideas about where Basim's story could go.
Assassin's Creed Hexe, which is currently a code name and is set to launch after the Japan-set Assassin's Creed Red, is the subject of a new report from Insider Gaming, which claims the title is aiming for a release in 2026. You'll apparently be playing as a female protagonist called Elsa, who comes equipped with supernatural abilities. One of which is said to be the ability to control cats, with footage sent to the outlet supposedly depicting a chase sequence where the player distracts guards by taking control of a feline.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red is the series’ next mainline instalment, but we also know what’s next after the Japan-set game. Alongside Red, in 2022, Ubisoft also announced Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe, a game that, as per reports, is set in Central Europe and focuses on the witch trials during the 16th century. Now, new potential details on the title have emerged courtesy of a report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson.
