Baghdad-set Assassin's Creed game will reportedly be called Mirage Details expected very soon. News by Ed Nightingale News reporter Published on 30 Aug 2022 16 comments Rumours suggest that the next Assassin's Creed game will be called Mirage. As previously reported, the project - codenamed Rift - will be set in Baghdad and release next year. Now YouTuber j0nathan has released a new video detailing information on the game that's been corroborated by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier.

A person familiar tells me parts of this new Assassin's Creed leak are true (such as the name and the other stuff Bloomberg has already reported: spring 23, Baghdad, back to AC basics) and other parts are not ("multiple cities to explore") https://t.co/qmM6UZtKnG- Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) August 30, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

Valhalla character Basim will feature in a lead role. Official information on Assassin's Creed Mirage is expected at the Ubisoft Forward livestream on 10th September. We may also get an update on the larger Assassin's Creed Infinity project, which will act as a platform for future Assassin's Creed games. This is expected to be a long way off, however.
