Sony showed at the showcase held a few hours ago new images of Assassin’s Creed Mirageas well as its release date and it became very clear to us that Ubisoft is about to celebrate 15 years of the franchise with a revival of the first title of the saga. Something that all the fans who in recent years have enjoyed the endless Valhalla, odyssey and Origins.
Mirage release date
Although in other articles we have bet because Assassin’s Creed Mirage It will not arrive this year due to the situation in which Ubisoft finds itself, which is not ideal, the French have confirmed through the showcase of playstation that the new installment of the assassins franchise will be in stores on October 12, Therefore, the plans that were already outlined a few months ago and that posed a future full of new releases are maintained.
Now, before knowing that date we were able to take a look at a video that, in addition to showing gameplay real, yeah is quite close to the concept of what we can expect from this Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and that it is nothing more than the return to the old approaches that we were able to enjoy in the first game with Altaïr at the controls walking the streets of cities like Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus.
on this occasion all the action moves to Baghdad in a time that some have set insiders which develops practically simultaneously with Valhalla, two decades earlier, only in the Middle East and not in the British Isles. Even so, what really attracts the attention of the video is the repetition of mechanics, situations and ways of playing that take us mentally to the first moments of that first Assassin’s Creed.
Do you like to go back to the origins?
The point is that It is surprising that Ubisoft has decided to turn the series around given the enormous and great results that they have been obtaining for some years, when they chose to open the world of their saga to games that require 200, 300 or 400 hours to complete them practically 100%. Releases like the last of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, that between DLC, season passes and new content (such as that of the ragnarok) offer a first-class immersive experience, with a role-playing component that incredibly improves the perception of everything we do.
back to the simplicity (said with the utmost respect) of the first titles might not fill players wanting to re-dive for months in a real open world experience, with a living map where we can pretty much do whatever we want.
So here you rule: does the path of returning to the first place seem good to you? Assassin’s Creed even if it is as a tribute to 15 years of success, or do you think it would have been better to apply the original formula but adding all those components that have made the saga great in the last decade? If you ask us for an opinion, whoever subscribes, go back to the schematics of the first game, of which I have fantastic memories, It would be something similar to seeing that Nintendo wants to honor Ocarina of Time creating a new Zelda for Switch with the same limitations.
Although if it seems good to you, we will wait and see how it turns out and if this approach is the one that suits you, congratulations, we are happy because then this Assassin’s Creed Mirage you will enjoy it beautifully.
