The nextAssassin’s Creedheads way, way back in time.Assassin’s Creed Miragewill spotlight the assassin Basim, and arrive sometime in 2023.
Assassin’s Creed Mirageis set 20 years before the events ofAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, where we first met Basim. It will explore ninth century CE Baghdad, as the young orphan dives into the world of the Hidden Ones. And yes, that includes cutting a finger off.
The reveal comes after several reports and rumors about the game. Ubisoftconfirmed its existence prior to today’s showcase, teasing more to come in the reveal trailer.
Guiding Basim in his training is Roshan, voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo. Here’s the story rundown from the trailer:
InAssassin’s Creed Mirage, you are Basim, a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions, seeking answers and justice. After an act of deadly retribution, Basim flees Baghdad and joins an ancient organization – The Hidden Ones. As he learns their mysterious rituals and powerful tenets, he will hone his unique abilities, discover his true nature, and come to understand a new Creed – one that will change his fate in ways he never could have imagined.
No firm date has been set yet, outside of 2023. But with some excellent voice talent already on-hand and a focus on narrative adventure, this seems pretty interesting for longtimeAssassin’s Creedfans. Meanwhile, Ubisoft did reveal a collector’s edition forAssassin’s Creed Mirage.
