We played a few hours of Assassin's Creed Mirage and were transported back to our 2007 glory days.
Ubisoft bills Assassin’s Creed Mirage, its upcoming stealth adventure launching this October, as a return to the franchise’s roots. Go back to the original Assassin’s Creed in 2007 and you’ll find something that looks entirely different from the massive open-world of Valhalla. It was a more focused experience with an emphasis on methodic and stealthy gameplay, all taking place in Jerusalem.
Throwback to 2007 What immediately takes me back to the original Assassin’s Creed is Mirage’s aesthetics. The first games dressed their heroes in white robes with red sashes, an iconic image that gave the series an immediate identity. The protagonists of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla all wear outfits corresponding to their time periods. Even though those outfits were timelier and more authentic, they just didn’t scream “Assassin’s Creed.” Mirage’s protagonist, Basim, changes that.
Another old system that sees a return is eavesdropping. During one mission, I had to gain information on someone called the Treasurer, who is seemingly involved in a large-scale extortion scheme. To do so, I sat down at a nearby bench and eavesdropped on two women speaking with each other. One of them ended up being a perfume seller and mentioned that they had connections to the Treasurer.
Valhalla-Lite Other parts of Mirage’s gameplay feel much closer to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and that’s not a bad thing at all. During my playthrough, I had to investigate a warehouse for clues. That’s where the fun really began. Like most Assassin’s Creed games, I was able to sneak around and take enemies out one by one without being detected. What really helps with navigating around them is Basim’s sight ability, which is similar to Valhalla’s Odin Sight.
