Revealed successful September past year (after a bid of leaks), Assassin's Creed Mirage was a invited announcement among fans of the series. The past fewer iterations similar Valhalla and Odyssey moved the games much towards the RPG genre alternatively than the stealth-focused gameplay the archetypal crippled brought to the table. But Mirage is going to the bid roots, and according to a caller interrogation from GamesRadar with Ubisoft originative manager Stéphane Boudon, portion of the reasoning down scaling down is acknowledgment to the fans.

Their scopes person been calibrated to fulfil those ambitions arsenic they each clasp the RPG mechanics.

"But amongst our fans, we started proceeding the tendency for a quality driven story, focused connected the halfway pillars of the archetypal ACs successful a much intimate scale. It resonates with america arsenic good arsenic developers and this was the starting constituent of the project."
