Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will release on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC on October 12.
During this morning’s PlayStation Showcase, a two-minute gameplay trailer for the next Assassin’s Creed title was shown off, with protagonist Basim stealthing his way around Baghdad, getting into sword fights with guards and, of course, assassinating targets. The gameplay shown certainly feels more like the classic Assassin’s Creed titles, which is something that Mirage promises to get back to after the trend of more RPG-style entries.
