It is official: Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the title of the next game in Ubisoft’s open world adventure series. The publisher confirmed the title as well as the star and setting in a tweet on Thursday the following a previous leak of the game’s graphics.
The image shared by Ubisoft showed the protagonist assassin Basim, which was presented in 2020 Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, jumping through an archway with Baghdad’s Palace of the Golden Gates in the background. This landmark was the Caliph’s Palace during the Abbasid Caliphate in the late 9th century Mirage is set.
