Returning to the Origins: An Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review

It’s beyond belief that the Assassin’s Creed will soon have its 16th birthday. This Persian-style RGP was inspired by the Prince of Persia initially. And now has a remarkable storyline on its own. Thankfully, the next installment after Odyssey and Valhalla is here with another interesting yet notoriety storyline – Mirage. The City of Bagbad – beautiful, vibrant with crowded bazaars and connected rooftops is the perfect place for our Assassin to chase its enemies. With no further delay, let’s jump into the sneak-peak details of Assassin’s Creed Mirage review.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review: Trailer at Gamescom

AC Mirage’s first look was revealed on Opening Night Live 2023 in Germany. This first look gave many players the feature they have been waiting for. The trailer begins with the mesmerizing beauty of Bagdad and a conversation with the main lead. Yes! There is a main lead named Basim. Basin Ibn Ishaq is the main character in Mirage and was introduced back in Vallahalla. As the trailer continues, he speaks with the tourist guide he keeps inquiring about his return to Bagbad City. 

Fans are overwhelmed as their wish comes true. As they expected the next installment will be simpler in terms of settings and mechanics. They wish to have a basic or raw form of the very first Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft improved the stealth action with strategic fights over decades. With each new series, a new storyline prevails. But not anymore, the fans got bored with the same recipe.

It begins to taste the same. Especially after Syndicate. So, the franchise decided to revamp the gameplay and get back to the initial storyline of AC with simpler gameplay but improved fights.
