Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, scheduled for an October 12 release, is just around the corner. This single-player game comes nearly three years after its predecessor, set in 9th-century Baghdad. Fans can expect a return to the franchise’s hallmark stealth mechanics and linear storytelling.
Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR
Next, we’ve got the series’ first foray into virtual reality, due for release in late 2023. We’re as excited as you are about a VR Assassin’s Creed experience, especially one promising an emphasis on stealth actions and parkour mechanics. Although details are currently thin, we’ll keep you updated.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade
We anticipate a 2023 release of a new Assassin’s Creed game developed specifically for mobile platforms. Even more intriguing, it’s set in China during the reign of the Qing dynasty. Stay tuned for more details on these intriguing additions to the Assassin’s Creed lineup.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Red
Announced in 2022, Codename Red is a single-player entry in the main Assassin’s Creed series set in Feudal Japan — a highly desired setting amongst fans. While we don’t have many details yet, we know this game will be pitted against heavy hitters like Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima, setting the bar high for Ubisoft.
Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe
Also announced in 2022, Codename Hexe holds a certain allure. “Hexe”, translates to “Witch”, in German, hinting at the game’s setting: Medieval Germany. Fans are eager to explore a potentially darker, fear-driven narrative in this one.
These two games were officially announced, whereas the others on the list have come to light through rumours and leaks. As such, there is little more information available about them now. We will continue to bring you updates as they emerge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Platforms Will Support Assassin’s Creed Mirage?
Mirage, a new addition to the Assassin’s Creed series, will be available for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. As of now, there’s no good news for Nintendo Switch users. However, Ubisoft might announce a port in the coming months, depending on the game’s success.
Will Assassin’s Creed Mirage Be Bigger than Valhalla?
Although Mirage’s map is smaller than Valhalla’s, this isn’t necessarily a downside. The two games differ significantly in design: While Valhalla is an open-world action RPG, Mirage returns to the series’ roots as a stealth-based action game, so a gigantic map isn’t necessary.
Will There Be a Remake of the Original Assassin’s Creed Game?
There’s no official announcement yet regarding the remake of the original Assassin’s Creed. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the chance to revisit Altair’s story. However, given the busy slate of 11 AC projects currently in development at Ubisoft studios, we’ll have to wait. Perhaps after the Black Flag remake, they might return to the franchise’s beginnings.
