October will mark the release of Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, The Lords of the Fallen, Metal Gears Solid vol.1, Alone in the Dark, and Assassin’s Creed: Mirage. This poses an interesting conundrum for players; which to play first. Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the new Lords of the Fallen’s release had a gap of just one day. However, it looks like Ubisoft came to the rescue.

In a new announcement, Ubisoft revealed Assassin’s Creed Mirage went gold. With a release version of the game ready, it means the game can come early. Consequently, Ubisoft moved the release date to October 5, an entire week before the previous release date.

Going gold means the game will have lesser bugs. Mirage will be less plagued with bugs at launch, a big plus since fans of had bad experiences from the Unity launch.
