After a string of leaks<\/a>, Ubisoft has officially unveiled the next major Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em> game. As expected, it\u2019s called Mirage <\/em>and will shift the time-traveling series to 9th-century Baghdad, where players will take on the role of a budding assassin named Basim. (Fans might remember that name from an appearance in Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla<\/em><\/a>; Mirage<\/em> takes place two decades before that game.)<\/p>\n

Notably, Ubisoft says that the game will get back to the action-adventure roots of the series, which means that the RPG mechanics from more recent games will not be present. Mirage<\/em> is expected to launch sometime in 2023. Also of note: in an inspired bit of casting, Shohreh Aghdashloo will be voicing the role of Basim\u2019s assassination mentor.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all for the series, as Ubisoft also made a number of other big announcements regarding the future of the franchise.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with mobile. Ubisoft is developing the first open-world version of Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em> for smartphones, currently dubbed \u201cJade,\u201d which is set in ancient China and will let players customize their own character. You can also parkour across the Great Wall, which seems fun. \u201cCodename Jade\u201d is listed as coming soon. Elsewhere, Ubisoft also says it\u2019s working on an unnamed mobile title for Netflix\u2019s gaming service, though there are no details on that right now. (Netflix and Ubisoft are currently working together on a live-action series based on Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n

As for the future of the mainline series, Ubisoft shared a few details on the games that will come after Mirage<\/em>. One of these games, codenamed \u201cRed,\u201d is in development at Ubisoft\u2019s Quebec City studio and will be set in feudal-era Japan, while the Montreal team is working on another codenamed \u201cHexe\u201d; there aren\u2019t many details on that one yet, but it appears to be about witches in some form. While Mirage<\/em> is largely eschewing the RPG mechanics of games like Odyssey<\/em><\/a>, it appears that both Red and Hexe will retain them.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the publisher provided a few more details on its Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em> \u201cInfinity\u201d project, which appears to be an online hub of sorts that will connect the mainline games along with standalone multiplayer projects. Think of it like the Animus from the games, only you use it to launch video games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
