During the recent PlayStation Showcase, Ubisoft took some time to announce that the next installment of the Assassin’s Creed franchise is launching this October. Fans will be able to play Assassin’s Creed Mirage starting October 12. In the game, players will get to explore the vibrancy of Baghdad in the ninth century as Basim. It looks fantastic and promises “a condensed, narrative-driven action-adventure experience with a modern take on the parkour, stealth, and assassinations gameplay elements that have defined the franchise for over fifteen years.”
Experience the story of Basim, a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions, seeking answers and justice as he navigates the bustling streets of ninth-century Baghdad. Through a mysterious, ancient organization known as the Hidden Ones, he will become a deadly Master Assassin and change his fate in ways he never could have imagined.
Basim will be voiced by Lee Madjoub in English and Eyad Nassar in Arabic and Assassin’s Creed Mirage marks the first title in the franchise to launch worldwide with full Arabic localization for text and voice. As a language geek, that’s very exciting to me even though I don’t speak nor read Arabic. Additional casting in Assassin’s Creed Mirage includes Shohreh Aghdashloo as Basim’s mentor Roshan.
I’m very excited for Assassin’s Creed Mirage this year. You can look forward to playing the game on Amazon Luna, PC (Epic Games|Ubisoft Store [affiliate link]), PS4/5, and Xbox consoles (affiliate link). Physical versions will be available through your favorite retailers as well including GameStop (affiliate link). Pre-orders are now live and will include an exclusive bonus quest called “The Forty Thieves” where you’ll get to uncover the mysteries of Ali Baba’s legendary cave.
