Rumors around Assassin’s Creed Mirage continue and grow even more. A famous French youtubeur about the license releases lots of info and the release date.
Ubisoft’s release schedule is quite shy this year. The French publisher has just launched its free-to-play Trackmania on consoles, but it is above all on Assassin’s Creed Mirage that it will bet this year. An episode particularly awaited by fans of the first hour as it promises to be a real return to the roots of the license. Exit open worlds and RPG mechanics, it is the fundamentals of the saga that will be at the heart of the experience. In any case, this is what Ubisoft promises and for lack of gameplay, we have to take it at its word for the moment. Nevertheless, a new leak of one insider renowned in the community Assassin’s Creed just revealed confidential information, including its release date.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage release date revealed in advance?
The rumors and leaks around’Assassin’s Creed Mirage accumulate. Release date, stolen menu image and report, the next game in the saga is regularly talked about. It was without counting on a new leak from youtubeur j0nathan who revealed lots of details around the game, as he had already done with previous episodes. Most important of all, the release date would be set for October 12, 2023 internally. We learn that the gameplay will be closer to AC Origins, with lots of gadgets and objects to use during missions such as throwing knives, smoke bombs, a blowpipe with darts to put enemies to sleep and more Again. The focus would therefore be on infiltration. So don’t expect to chain the fights and make a real massacre like in AC Valhalla.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage being basically a DLC that has become too ambitious, we should expect a smaller skill tree, with around fifteen skills to unlock. Several accessories can also be obtained after the big missions. Understand by this, that once a large contract is completed, you will rise in rank within the brotherhood, allowing you to unlock the gadget of your choice and get a new outfit with stats different. There would be a total of four main assassination contracts, plus the leader of the ancestor of the Templars. You will be required to investigate targets and gather information before you can hope to kill them.
Lots of gameplay info
The difference with the initiatory episode? ” The more intel you unlock, the more new assassination methods you get “, explains the youtubeur. Like Hitman, there would then be around 30 different ways to kill a target. The replayability of the missions is however not guaranteed if we rely on the information revealed. In order not to get lost with all the information collected, Assassin’s Creed Mirage would bring together everything you have learned in an “Investigation” menu that would roughly resemble the corkboards found in crime series and movies.
And reputation system would also be back. It would increase based on the player’s actions in Baghdad, granting a symbol that could be likened to GTA’s wanted hint system. The vigilance of the guards would be increased and the NPCs will even be able to indicate your position if you are the worst assassin on the streets. It would also be necessary to rely on a faction system like in the days of Assassin’s Creed with Ezio. On the other hand, it would be musicians, merchants or mercenaries who would come to lend you a hand to escape or create a diversion.
And for the rest ? The source also recalls that the game will not be in an open world and the map will therefore be smaller and divided into several areas. On the parkour side, however, we should not expect animations as fluid as with Unity. Among the small welcome additions, the codex and the Discovery Tour would be directly integrated into Assassin’s Creed Mirage at its launch. See you this summer to find out if all this information will come to light during the Ubisoft Forward. The source being rather reliable, we can expect that several elements will be confirmed.
