Ubisoft’s Assassin’s creed franchise has a long and rich history in the gaming world. The first Assassin’s Creed was released almost 15 years ago. It was a phenomenal title that spawned a plethora of games after it. Making Assassin’s Creed one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time.

But as the franchise progressed, the gameplay shifted a lot with each installment. With the release of Origins and Valhalla, the gameplay model changed more into an open-world action adventure. Unlike its predecessors, like Brotherhood or Revelations, which were much more linear and stealth-based.

Though fans loved the open-world aspects, they missed the traditional formula. That is why Ubisoft decided to give a tribute to the older title with their new game, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage.

The gameplay of Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Initially, the game was supposed to be a spinoff of Valhalla, but during the development phase, Ubisoft decided to turn it into a full-fledged game. Just like Rogue, which was supposed to be a spinoff of the Black Flag. But even though Mirage started as a spinoff, it promises to deliver a game worthy of being a major installment in the franchise.

Unlike Valhalla or Odyssey, the gameplay of Mirage is set to be more linear, like Revelations and Rogue. Allegedly, the map will also be a little smaller and more compact than the recent titles. This results in a much cheaper price tag for the game, making it more affordable. The basic version will only cost $50 and the deluxe version with extra features will be available on the day of release.
