Its narrative structure will apparently be closer to that of older Assassin’s Creed games, with the devs describing it as “condensed” and more linear. We’ll go to Alamut, the base of the Hidden Ones, for the first time in an Assassin’s Creed game.

The game’s parkour will include things like pole vaulting and swinging around corners, with a lot of space to hide on roofs. Basim’s eagle will be more important, but can also be shot down by certain enemies.Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to launch in 2023 and is apparently available to preorder now for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, with standard, deluxe, and collector’s editions available.
