Assassin’s Creed Mirage Is Coming Out A Week Early

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is one of the most anticipated games of 2023, and after years of rumors and delays, its release date is still just out of reach. The wait is now a bit shorter. Ubisoft revealedIt has been confirmed that the game will release on 5 October. This is a full week sooner than was previously planned.

Basim Ibn Shaq is the protagonist of this game. He was previously featured as a character supporting in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a 2020 release. The series has traditionally been about stealthy combat and dense city environments. However, recent games have moved the action to more open worlds with RPG elements. Mirage brings back the old formula with parkour and the white hood. Baghdad is the setting for the game, which takes place twelve years before Valhalla.

A game being moved forward is a welcome change in a world where there seems to be a constant delay of games. Baldur’s Gate 3 shifted its PC launch date to prevent it from competing with “other RPGs,” which was likely Starfield. Mirage’s new date doesn’t seem to be motivated by the desire to avoid competition, but it does pull it a little ahead of the other huge games releasing in October, specifically Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which both come out on October 20.
