The architecture showcased in the teaser is the epitome of Middle Eastern aesthetics, and provides an insight into the potential setting for the upcoming game. The resemblance to previous Assassin’s Creed games is amply evident in the newly released poster.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Launch: What To Expect?

Rumors surrounding the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game have been doing the rounds on the internet for a while now. A report from Bloomberg had previously spotted an early version of the game under the ‘Rift’ codename. The report noted that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is said to bring Basim Ibn Ishaq—an Assassin’s Creed Valhalla supporting character—in the lead role.

Before the official unveiling of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, @ScriptLeaksR6 had revealed some artwork assets of the upcoming game on Twitter.

A few reports have linked the Forty Thieves Quest to a Middle Eastern fable about a prince seeking revenge against Mongol invaders. This could also be the main storyline of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

The rumor mill also suggests the new Ubisoft Assassin’s Creed game will launch in the spring of 2023. However, this is mere speculation and should be taken with a grain of salt. We will know more about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage in the coming days.
