Assassin’s Creed fans got a pleasant surprise to start September 2022 when a leak and subsequent announcement from Ubisoft confirmed the next entry in the popular series with the introduction of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. While there are few details on the game so far, according to images leaked and those directly from Ubisoft, Mirage appears to take inspiration from the “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” Middle Eastern folk legend, and reportedly will include Basim, a character from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, as its protagonist. According to the Assassin’s Creed Twitter account, “We can’t wait to tell you more on September 10 at Ubisoft Forward: 9PM CEST | 12PM PT.”
