Soon Ubisoft should reveal new official details about Assassin's Creed Mirage, the new title in the series coming later this year that will narrate the beginnings of Basim, the assassin known in AC Valhalla and that in the new game we will find 20 years earlier, in a setting very similar to that of the very first Assassin's Creed with Altair.

However, it seems that, before the arrival of the new official information, numerous new details about the game have already been leaked, revealed by a YouTuber French. Bearing in mind the fact that this is unofficial information that could later be denied, let's see together what has been revealed.

First, the YouTuber revealed the game's release date, scheduled for October 12. Another interesting revelation is also that Mirage was originally conceived as a DLC of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, but then became more ambitious and turned into a title in its own right.

According to leaked information, Assassin's Creed Mirage will offer a gaming experience reminiscent of Assassin's Creed Origins; There will be numerous gadgets and objects that will change the way you face the missions, while the skill tree will be more contained this time, with about 15 unlockable skills. This streamlined approach is intended to make it easier and more straightforward for players to customize their playstyle, along with several unlockable weapons in missions.

According to the YouTuber's sources, Assassin's Creed Mirage will also see a return to the emphasis on assassination, as it was in the first Assassin's Creed: we will find ourselves immersed in a web of intrigue as we investigate and gather crucial information on four main objectives to be assassinated, just like in the progenitor of the series. In the intentions of the developers, this return to the origins of the franchise should lead to a more exciting and strategic gaming experience, which will require us to employ cunning and ingenuity to succeed.

We can then expect a return to the fundamental pillars of the franchise, with a greater focus on stealth mechanics. Stalking missions, eavesdropping and other activities will return, as will the presence of the eagle and eagle eye. The notoriety system will also return, which will make the guards more suspicious of us, while the parkour aspects will be greatly reduced.

One of the most important news that emerged from the leaks is also the almost total disappearance of the mythological aspect , which has been prevalent in the last titles of the series: it seems that there will be a return to (relative) historical realism, without more divine powers during the fights. Also according to these sources, the story of the game will initially see Basim in the role of a simple thief, who comes across an artifact of the First Civilization; This event will kick off a plot rooted in the historical mysteries of the franchise. The leaks mention an Isu temple inside the sprawling fortress of Alamut. Obviously there will be the order of the Occults, the precursors of those who later became the Assassins, while it seems that there will be very few cut-scenes today, with the game focused entirely on the era of Basim.

According to the leaker, then, if it is true that the game will be set mainly in the city of Baghdad, this will be represented in great detail and will surpass in size the Paris of Assassin's Creed Unity. We can expect a bustling metropolis, complemented by the surrounding villages and desert areas that extend beyond the city walls. The level of scale and attention to detail promise to transport players to a vibrant and authentic representation of ancient Baghdad.

That's all for now: we remind you that this is unofficial information, so we will have to wait for confirmation or denial from Ubisoft.
