All three of his games brought about the biggest changes in this series; they changed things drastically. It would not even be an overstatement to say that these games put this series on the map. From more fluent parkour to the introduction of poison darts and hand-mounted portable pistols, these games had everything.

AC 2 had the honor of introducing new parkour and combat mechanics. Brotherhood introduced the Assassin management system to the series to earn some passive money. Finally, revelations brought features such as ziplining, various types of bombs, and tower defense mechanics to it.

Mirage seems to have taken a dozen ideas from all three of these games. During the gameplay demo, he used a trap bomb and a zipline. Also, his parkour is more similar to Ezio’s than anyone else in the series.

Other than these features, the game gives players the ability to buy and upgrade equipment. It looks like Assassin’s Creed: Mirage is really going to bring back the golden age of this series.
