New details for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, reportedly titled ‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage’, have seemingly surfaced on YouTube by Youtuber j0nathan, some of which were also confirmed to be true by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier. According to the video and Schreier, the game will launch sometime in Spring 2023, will take place in Baghdad between the years 870-860, and will reportedly “go back to basics,” which may mean that the game will have fewer RPG elements such as the lack of a leveling system and gameplay choices. However, none of these claims have been confirmed by Ubisoft.
Details on the latest game in the franchise, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, via Ubisoft can be seen below:
