After going gold early, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has gotten a release date bump. It’s now set to arrive October 5 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC — a full week earlier than previous planned. Style-wise, the game is pitched as a throwback to the earlier Assassin’s Creed titles, before they went all action-RPG. Mirage features a smaller urban map and focuses on stealth kills and parkour traversal. As such, Mirage is expected to be shorter than recent releases like Valhalla and Odyssey, and is priced accordingly: $49.99 for the standard edition. Read on for more info.

What is Assassin’s Creed Mirage?
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you play as Basim, a street thief in ninth-century Baghdad, who gets caught up in the vast, series-spanning conspiracy. Through the course of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Basim works his way up a shadowy organization called the Hidden Ones to become a Master Assassin. Along the way, you open up and explore four unique districts in the Golden Age of Baghdad. Ubisoft also says Mirage offers the largest cache of assassin’s tools of any game in the series, making for more “visceral assassinations than ever before.”
