A French YouTuber said the next Assassin’s Creed game will return to the series’ roots — in more ways than one — in a video partially confirmed by Bloomberg industry writer Jason Schreier.
Game title- Assassin’s Creed Mirage – and the setting, late 9th century Baghdad, are correct, Shreyer said on Twitter, citing a person familiar with the project. But the video published on Sunday by YouTuber j0nathan has other details wrong, he said, such as a setting that involves traversing multiple cities.

Schreier was not more specific about which additional claims made by J.Nathan were false.

In the game’s complex sci-fi canon, Bassim is actually a human reincarnation of the Norse god Loki, who actually belongs to an ancient and highly advanced humanoid species.
Bloomberg also reported in February that “the game will not be a massive open-world role-playing game like previous recent entries, instead focusing more on stealth gameplay.” Bloomberg then said in July that Assassin’s Creed Rift / Mirage, In development at Ubisoft’s Bordeaux studio, it was delayed from a February 2023 launch until the following spring.

- RPG elements such as dialogue choices, leveling, and gender choice (since the player character is Basim) are missing.
- “Eagle Vision” power, last seen in 2015 Assassins Creed SyndicateReturns, but so does the “Drone Bird” that players can use to spot and mark enemies in the three most recent games.
- Ubisoft is secretly developing a remake of the original Assassins CreedUsing most of the functions and assets created for mirage,
- More will be revealed during the Ubisoft Forward Online event on September 10th, which the publisher announced in July.
