Leaks and rumors around Assassin’s Creed Mirage are linked. This weekend, it was rumored that a significant delay was expected, but the leak of the day seems to indicate the opposite.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage promises to be a return to basics for the license. In more than a decade of existence, the saga has evolved towards a more RPG and action-oriented dimension. The fundamentals of the original game, such as infiltration, discreet assassination contracts or even parkour, will return to the heart of the experience with this episode in its own right. In any case, this is the promise made by Ubisoft when it was announced and for lack of gameplay we are forced to take it at its word. Basim is expected to show himself in action during this summer’s Ubisoft Forward, where the release date is expected to be announced. It was without counting on yet another leakwhich seems to confirm all the previous rumors.
An August release for Assassin’s Creed Mirage
A new big summer outing is looming. The summer will undoubtedly be marked by the arrival of Final Fantasy 16 on PS5 and Diablo 4 in June. They should be joined a few months later by the new episode of another strong license: Assassin’s Creed Mirage. THE leaks and the most recent rumors around this new entry in the saga suggest a release in August 2023. A date advanced by Tom Henderson (Insider Gaming) on several occasions and which is confirmed once again thanks to the GameStop retailer. An employee has indeed published an image of an internal document summarizing all the next releases. We see Assassin’s Creed Mirage decked out in a vague August, which matches the noises in the hallway.
This potential leak is in any case more reassuring than a rumor that emerged this weekend. She suggested that AC Mirage was pushed back to much later, to the point that it would be the hub’s new launch game. Assassin’s Creed Infinity. As usual, the famous tweezers are in use until a confirmation next June during the Ubisoft Forward. At this rate, however, we would not be surprised that the episode which will reconnect with the roots of the license is still the victim of a leak until then, as the French publisher’s games are renowned for revealing themselves ahead of their official announcements. This is for example the case of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, whose images and pre-order bonuses were shared several weeks ago.
Back to basics with a touch of modernity
First-time Assassin’s Creed players are especially eager to see how Ubisoft’s promises will materialize. On paper, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has all the cards in hand to be one of the most refreshing episodes of recent years. No more RPG mechanics or ultra-open worlds full of tasteless points of interest and quests.
It will be infiltration, information gathering, target identification and assassination contracts that will again be at the heart of the experience. Touches of modernity should be made, and a stolen image of the game suggested that the research phase will be more extensive than before or at least important enough to have its own menu.
