ASSASSIN’S CREED MIRAGE takes players to 9th century Baghdad this October

During the recent PlayStation Showcase, Ubisoft took the time to announce that the next installment of Assassin’s Creed franchise will launch this October. Fans will be able to play Mirage from Assassin’s Creed starting October 12. In the game, players will be able to explore the vibrancy of Baghdad in the 9th century as Basim. It sounds great and promises “a condensed, narrative-driven action-adventure experience with a modern take on the parkour, stealth, and assassination gameplay elements that have defined the franchise for over fifteen years.”

Experience the story of Basim, a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions, searching for answers and justice as he navigates the crowded streets of 9th century Baghdad. Through a mysterious and ancient organization known as the Hidden Ones, he will become a deadly Master Assassin and change his fate in ways he never could have imagined.

Basim will be voiced by Lee Madjoub in English and Eyad Nassar in Arabic and Mirage from Assassin’s Creed marks the first title in the series to launch worldwide with full Arabic localization for text and voice. As a language fanatic, it’s very exciting for me even though I don’t speak or read Arabic. Additional entry Mirage from Assassin’s Creed includes Shohreh Aghdashloo as Basim Roshan’s mentor.

I am very excited for Mirage from Assassin’s Creed this year. Can’t wait to play on Amazon Luna, PC (Epic Games|Ubisoft Store [affiliate link]), PS4/5 and Xbox consoles (affiliate link). Physical releases will also be available through your preferred retailers, including GameStop (affiliate link). Pre-orders are available now and will include an exclusive bonus mission called ‘The Forty Thieves’ where you will uncover the mysteries of Ali Baba’s legendary cave.
