The legendary Ubisoft series carries on, and we know what the Assassin’s Creed Mirage <\/em>country will be. Like the original game, we’ll be taken back to the Middle East as Basim. We’ll be exploring a city set around the events of the deadly Zanj Rebellion. Here’s what we know about the Assassin’s Creed Mirage <\/em>country we’ll be exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Assassin’s Creed Mirage <\/em>country featured?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assassin’s Creed Mirage<\/em> is set in 9th century Iraq<\/strong>, the latest in the world-traveled Assassin’s Creed<\/em> series, which has seen players visit France, England, Egypt, the United States, and Italy. Mirage<\/em>‘s main hub is based around the country’s capital, Baghdad, and is set 20 years before Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla<\/em>, which featured Basim as an older NPC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Basim is going to be coming from a street thief to a master assassin,” said narrative director Sarah Beaulieu during the Assassin’s Creed <\/em>2022 Showcase video<\/a>. The narrative director also called Baghdad “beautiful,” “vibrant,” and “magnificent.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a very dense city, where you’re going to meet a lot of different people,” Beaulieu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are we going to meet in Assassin’s Creed Mirage?<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every game in the series has featured historical figures. For example, in Assassin’s Creed 2<\/a>, <\/em>we met the genius Leonardo di Vinci. In Mirage, <\/em>we’ll talk to political leaders from the ninth century, according to Beaulieu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future games in the series will take us to China, feudal Japan, and the United States (during the witch hunts in Salem).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll find out more when Assassin’s Creed Mirage <\/em>releases on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC, on October 5. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
