Assassin's Creed Mirage is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux. It is another installment in the Assassin's Creed series, but this time the creators have decided to return to the roots…
Story
The story of Assassin's Creed Mirage takes place in 861 AD in Baghdad, which is experiencing its heyday. In this vibrant city, we meet our protagonist - known to players from the previous installment, AC: Valhalla - Basim Ibn Is'haq. We will accompany him on his incredibly challenging journey from a common thief to becoming one of the greatest assassins in the history of AC.
Gameplay
The gameplay in AC Mirage is a deep homage to the original Assassin's Creed, where the emphasis was placed on stealth and parkour - and the same goes for this installment.
Assassin's Creed Mirage may not offer us a lengthy gameplay experience (estimated playtime is around 15-20 hours), but the executive producer, Marc-Alexis Cote, stated that "Not everything has to be a 150-hour RPG," and the game itself is meant to be a crowning achievement of 15 years of work on the AC series.
Basim, like the protagonists of previous editions, has a considerable arsenal of weapons and tools at his disposal. In addition to the well-known Hidden Blade, fans of the series will find throwing knives and smoke bombs in his inventory.
Both tools and weapons can be upgraded (with added effects) using the skill tree.
Similar to previous installments, Basim will have his avian companion - Enkidu - and as a result, he will be able to use Eagle Vision abilities. Beware! In AC Mirage, enemies can shoot at the bird!
