Ubisoft has announced that it has moved the release date of its new Assassin’s Creed game Mirage forward by one week. The stealth-action production will be released on October 5, 2023 instead of the previously announced October 12. This is a move we’re not used to seeing in the gaming world.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be released on October 5
Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be the next game in Ubisoft’s popular open-world action series. Looking to return the series to its stealth-oriented roots, the company will move away from the RPG elements of titles like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla.
In the latest statement from Ubisoft, Mirage’s release date has been pushed back. “On behalf of the entire team, we can’t wait for you to explore 9th Century Baghdad with Basim.” Accordingly, the game will be available digitally and physically on October 5th.
Mirage is available for pre-order on various platforms, including Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC and Ubisoft+, and retails for $59,99. It is thought to be a strategic move to bring the game a week earlier.
On October 17, Alan Wake 2 will be released and on October 20, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be released exclusively for PlayStation 5. Let us also remind you that remarkable games such as Lords of the Fallen and Forza Motorsport will be available in October.
Taking the series back to its roots, the game will take the story of Basim, a character from Valhalla, to 9th century Baghdad. Parkour mechanics, stealth assassinations and crowded areas are expected to come to the fore again.
