Ubisoft really gave its fans a pleasant surprise with this one.

For those who missed it, Ubisoft revealed Assassin’s Creed Mirage recently as a prequel to Valhalla. Players would be playing the character of Basim and see his journey through. It tells the story of what Basim did before meeting the protagonists of Valhalla.

Maybe Ubisoft has taken this direction to remedy the complaints where fans claim that the series has changed too much and become something else altogether. Some fans are really disappointed at its transformation from a Stealth action series with parkour to an Action RPG series with little to no stealth and very simplified parkour mechanics.
