Assassin’s Creed Mirage arrives on PC and consoles today. The game heralds a return to form for the franchise, with Ubisoft ditching the open world objective system of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for a more concise experience similar to those of the earlier Assassin’s Creed titles. If you’re looking to dive into Baghdad today, below you’ll find all the details you need to know.
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you take on the role of Basim. A cunning street thief, Basim struggles with nightmarish visions leading him to seek answers. Players will join an ancient organisation and come to understand a new creed. Does this sound relatively familiar? For hardened Assassin’s Creed fans, it should.
AC Mirage promises to deliver a modern take on the features and gameplay that have defined the franchise for 15 years. Gone is the map icon spam, and instead players will find a game the harnesses what made Assassin’s Creed a unique experience. The game has been well received by critics, and today it’s the turn of the players to decide if AC Mirage can live up to its predecessors.
Is Assassin’s Creed Mirage a full game?
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the latest title in the Assassin’s Creed series, and is a full game release. There have been numerous spin-off titles over the years, such as the Assassin’s Creed Chronicles series and the forthcoming Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, however Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the latest in the main line of titles that include the original Assassin’s Creed, the AC II trilogy, and AC IV: Black Flag.
How many hours is AC Mirage?
As AC Mirage has only been in the hands of a small number of players thus far, opinions on how many hours of gameplay are in the game are varied. According to HowLongtoBeat.com, the main story of Assassin’s Creed Mirage can be beaten in 11 hours. However, other reports are saying it’s closer the 15 hours. And then we have a substantial amount of side quests.
However, even with this additional content, the total package is far less than many of the bigger Assassin’s Creed titles. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, for example, weighs in ate around 45 hours. However, that’s not to say there’s less value for money in AC Mirage. The series is known for having become bloated, and AC Mirage isn’t cutting the main content, but rather trimming the fat.
Is the Assassin’s Creed Mirage released?
Assassin’s Creed Mirage launches today, 5th October, 2023. The game is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Amazon Luna. It will also launch on PC, available via Steam and the Epic Store.

However, historically Ubisoft has a strong relationship with Nintendo, in particular in support of new device launches.
