Assassin’s Creed Mirage Rumored to be Internally Delayed Yet Again

Assassin’s Creed Mirage was first announced in 2022, with a release date of this year. But nothing much was revealed about the game after the announcement except some screenshots and a trailer. Since then, fans have been waiting to see some gameplay footage from the upcoming title.

New rumors have emerged regarding the game’s release. Previously, a rumor suggested that Assassin’s Creed Mirage may have hit a bump in production, leading to a potential delay. Now, according to a leaker, the game has been internally delayed for quite some time.

According to Tom Henderson on Twitter, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has been internally delayed from August to October of this year. In addition to that, he also claimed in the tweet that the VR game Assassin’s Creed Nexus has also been delayed by a few months. 

Even though Tom Henderson is a pretty reliable leaker, we still suggest that you take this information with a pinch of salt until Ubisoft officially says something. If his claim is to be believed, then Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be delayed by two months. On a better note, it’ll give developers more time to polish the game and not release it in a buggy state.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will take the franchise back to its roots, gaining inspiration from some the first entries in the series. The game will also be shorter in length than other titles in the series, offering around 15-20 hours of content. Due to that, the game will not be full-priced, as it’ll launch at $49.99 instead of the general $69.99 price point.

Ubisoft is set to host a special presentation on June 12, 2023, which will feature more information on its upcoming titles. Some information regarding Assassin’s Creed Mirage will likely be revealed at this presentation, including its release date, so be sure to keep an eye out on all the announcements and reveals.

About Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux and published by Ubisoft. The game is the thirteenth primary installment in the Assassin’s Creed series and the successor to 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. While its historical timeframe precedes that of Valhalla, its modern-day framing story succeeds Valhalla’s own.

Set in 9th-century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age—in particular during the Anarchy at Samarra—the story follows Basim Ibn Ishaq (a character first introduced in Valhalla), a street thief who joins the Hidden Ones to fight for peace and liberty against the Order of the Ancients,[b] who desire peace through control. The main narrative focuses on Basim’s internal struggle between his duties as a Hidden One and his desire to uncover his mysterious past.
