Assassin’s Creed Mirage Has Gone Gold, Now Releasing a Week Earlier
/
Ubisoft has announced that the next entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise Assassin’s Creed Mirage, has officially gone gold and that they are moving the release date a week earlier as it’s now set to release on October 5.
A game going gold means that active development on the project has been completed and mass production can begin in preparation for the game’s eventual release.
In Mirage, the Assassin’s Creed series is stepping away from action RPG and becoming more of what the game is originally known for — an open-world action stealth game. You play as Basim (first introduced in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) and see his life as an assassin set in ninth-century Baghdad.
During an AMA session on Reddit, when asked about the game’s total game time, developers of Mirage shared that the game will be “closer to the first AC games”. Assuming they are talking about just the first two games, Mirage will likely take 20-30 hours.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Luna, and PC (via Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store).
Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
