Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the next mainline game in the series, has officially been dated for Oct. 12.
Ubisoft announced the news at today's PlayStation Showcase, although it was leaked earlier in the day by a few Japanese retailers. It also got a new trailer, which showed off some new abilities and some familiar ones as well.
As PlayStation elaborates further in a blog post published after the Showcase reveal, one of the new features will be what's called Assassin's Focus, which will allow you to mark and assassinate several targets in a row. There's also the Pole Vault, which Ubisoft teases as "brand-new parkour ingredient."
Mirage will see the player stepping into the shoes of Basim Ibn Ishaq (a character introduced in Valhalla) and it takes place in Baghdad, 20 years before the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
It's coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, and Amazon Luna, and is now available for pre-order. Those who pre-order will also get access to a bonus quest, The Forty Thieves.
The 13th major Assassin's Creed installment and successor to 2020's Valhalla, Mirage was first unveiled at the September 2022 Ubisoft Forward, where it was hailed as a return to the series' classic action-adventure roots.
There's a lot riding on Assassin's Creed Mirage for Ubisoft, with the company saying in a recent earnings report that it was preparing to pump resources into the franchise after a "challenging" year of losses.
