New leaks are providing details on the next installment for the incredibly popular Assassin’s Creed franchise, suggesting the series may be going back to its roots and remaking the original.
As well as Call of Duty’s Modern Warfare series and God of War, the beloved Assassin’s Creed franchise is also set to return with a bang. Assassin’s Creed is one of those classic AAA story games that every gamer is familiar with. Even if you haven’t played Assassin’s Creed, you likely know what it is and how it plays.
Having said that, the game has evolved and changed a lot over the years, and new leaks surrounding the next Assassin’s Creed game may have veterans of the series excited, as the rumor is that the developers will be taking it back to the AC roots.
The rumored title of the next Assassin’s Creed game is “Mirage,” which means an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions.
This ties in nicely with the stealthy theme of Assassin’s Creed and the ability of the main character to blend into their environment and take out the enemy. Here’s everything we know about the title so far.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage leaked release date
The leaked released date for Assassin’s Creed Mirage is Spring 2023, according to Rebs Gaming.
More specifically, leaks say that the game will arrive between April and June 2023.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage leaked setting & main character
According to leaks, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to take place in Baghdad, with “multiple cities to explore, separated by desert and rivers like the Kingdom of AC1.”
The game will take place between 860 and 870, which is when the Anarchy at Samarra occurred, which was a period of violence and instability under the Abbasid Caliphate. Samarra was the capital city of the Abbasid Caliphate, which is modern-day central Iraq.
This seems like the perfect setting for an Assassin’s Creed game, especially one that is supposedly going back to its roots, as it’s based on civil unrest and a historic event in history.
The main character in this leaked Assassin’s Creed game is Basim, and the player will start their journey with him in his youth. The game is said to have “strong inspiration from the first Assassin’s Creed,” so if the leaks are true, those who are fans of the original are in for a treat.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage leaked gameplay details
As reported by Mr Rebs, “several RPG elements” have been removed, “no more dialogue choices, no gender choice, and no more level system.”
The gameplay is said to be “slightly different from that of Valhalla, less raw and with new animations.”
Supporting the claim of Assassin’s Creed Mirage going back to the series’ roots, “Eagle Vision is back,” as well as the bird which has been a feature in the games since AC Origins. It also seems that Basim will use the classic hidden dagger.
Assassin’s Creed 1 remake rumor
Along with these leaks on Assassin’s Creed Mirage, it is also rumored that the first Assassin’s Creed game is being remade, and could possibly be “integrated into a Season Pass which will also include DLC in Constantinople” that will be released “a few months later.”
Ubisoft have been celebrating fifteen years of the franchise, so marking this milestone with a remake of the beloved original would be incredible.
That’s all on Assassin’s Creed Mirage for now, but as more information is released, we will be sure to update this article so stay tuned. For more, check out how PlayStation is expanding into mobile games.
