Assassin’s Creed Mirage signals a welcome return to the roots of the series. Since first taking a leap of faith with Altaïr in 2007, Ubisoft’s stealthy saga has seen a myriad of changes and evolutions, with the most recent outings Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey putting us in expansive open-world historical playgrounds that lean into the RPG genre. After several iterations that share a sizable scope, Mirage is taking a refreshing step back to deliver a more tightly focused action-adventure that pays homage to the game that started it all.
