In this preview, we can witness the return of some classic AC features that will immerse us in a nostalgic vibe, but in a new avatar.

In Mirage, a target’s location will not always be marked on the map. To have good intel on the target, you have to help people around your target’s location or scope out the area. There is a mission as well, where you have to meet with the clients and targets. This mission is kind of similar to the missions of the recently released Hitman Trilogy.
