When Ubisoft presented Assassin’s Creed Mirage at the PlayStation Showcase 2023, fans were instantly mesmerized. Set in the city of Baghdad, the title features deserts and oases in the gameplay. With new parkour maneuvers like pole vaulting being added, it will definitely attract many fans looking to perform tricks in the desert.

Building up more on the desert-themed gameplay Ubisoft is pushing, they have added a cool new feature to the game. AC Mirage re-introduces the skilled Assassin Basim from AC Valhalla. The game will follow protagonist Basim and his evolution from a street thief to a fully-fledged member of the Brotherhood. According to recent reports, fans will see Basim interact in his native language.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage introduces an Arabic language option

In a tweet from the official Assassin’s Creed Twitter account, Ubisoft announced AC Mirage will have an Arabic language option. Ubisoft has been doing this since Assassin’s Creed 2. Even in AC Valhalla, players can listen to the Nordic and Gaelic dialects used. For this upcoming title, developers went above and beyond to add that native touch. The upcoming title will be fully playable with Arabic dubbing and subtitles.

We are happy and proud to announce that Eyad Nassar will star in the Arabic version of Assassin's Creed Mirage as the main character Basim. Here is a short message from him.

Eyad Nassar, who will portray Basim, is a well-known actor in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt. He is most recognized for his portrayal of Egyptians in television dramas such as Face and Back and The Choice. This will also be the first worldwide Arabic release of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed.

However, Ubisoft has released Arabic voicing earlier too for AC Syndicate. But that release was specifically for the Middle Eastern region only. AC Syndicate was released in middle eastern regions with Arabic subtitles, menus, as well as dubbed dialogue. Now looks like AC Mirage is going to build upon further from its predecessor.

On October 12, 2023, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be published on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Amazon Luna. What are your thoughts on the introduction of the Arabic language option in AC Mirage? Let us know in the comments section below.
