Here's everything you need to know about Assassin's Creed Mirage
Today's Ubisoft Forward event has revealed a first glimpse at Mirage, next year's new Assassin's Creed adventure - although we're still waiting for a look at gameplay, and there's still no firmer release date than"2023".
Details on Mirage's story remain thin on the ground, though we'll play as Basim as he rises through the ranks of the proto-Assassins, and crosses paths with the Order of the Ancients - the group which would, post-Valhalla, become the Templars. The city of Baghdad will offer a linear story over several distinct city districts - which all sounds like classic Assassin's Creed - but will also give way for trips to Alamut, a mountain fortress where Basim will train .
"It was supposed to be a DLC for something like four or five weeks," art director Jean-Luc Sala told me,"and then we realised that if we were going to do Baghdad, we had to do it [properly]. We needed to be a fully-fledged game. That's where it all started to become what it is now.
Assassin's Creed has always balanced historical fact with the series' trademark dabbling in myths and science fiction - and a mysterious figure spotted at the end of today's Mirage trailer seems to continue that. Glimpsed while Basim is in a post-assassination scene , this creature is a djinn, Beaulieu confirmed."What you saw in the trailer is a well-known creature in the Middle East, a djinn," she told me."It's something Bassam sees regularly.
