The future of Assassin\u2019s Creed was revealed today at Ubisoft Forward, and it all starts in 2023 with Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Taking place in ninth-century Baghdad, Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage<\/em> centers on the coming-of-age story of Basim Ibn Is\u2019haq, the Hidden One introduced in Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla<\/em>. Two additional flagship Assassin\u2019s Creed games, Assassin\u2019s Creed Codename Red<\/em> and Assassin\u2019s Creed Codename Hexe<\/em>, were also teased, with the former taking place in the long-awaited setting of feudal Japan. Both titles will be part of the Assassin\u2019s Creed Codename Infinity<\/em> hub.<\/p>\n

A shorter, more narrative-driven game than recent entries in the series, Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage<\/em> takes place 20 years before the events of Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla<\/em>, as players meet a 17-year-old Basim (now voiced by Lee Majdoub) struggling with nightmarish visions and living life as a cunning street thief. Fortunately for Basim, the Hidden Ones (including his mentor Roshan, voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo) see his potential, and help him flee Baghdad to the Hidden Ones\u2019 fortress of Alamut. As he learns their mysterious rituals and powerful tenets, he will hone his unique abilities, discover his true nature, and come to understand a new Creed \u2013 one that will change his fate in ways he never could have imagined.<\/p>\n

Built as an homage to the first Assassin\u2019s Creed games, Mirage pays tribute to the series\u2019 roots, as players join the proto-Assassin order known as the Hidden Ones and grow to become a master assassin. Baghdad in the ninth century was a bustling metropolis, and it serves as the perfect dense, urban hunting ground, as Basim stalks his prey using the series\u2019 largest assortment of tools to date. While they haven\u2019t quite adopted the name \u201cAssassins\u201d at this point in history, make no mistake: The Hidden Ones are a powerful and established order, with resources and the all-important Creed to guide them. As Basim explores Baghdad, he\u2019ll be able to get contracts and upgrades from a network of Hidden One bureaus throughout the city, as well as collect clues on his targets and take them down with swift assassinations.<\/p>\n

Of course, an assassin\u2019s greatest advantage comes from their climbing ability, and as the series returns to a large-scale urban environment, Basim will need to leap across rooftops, scale tall towers, and flee guards by parkouring seamlessly through Baghdad\u2019s four distinct districts. When information can\u2019t be gained by gathering clues, Basim\u2019s eagle Enkidu can take to the skies, survey areas, and tag enemies for Basim to stealthily eliminate.<\/p>\n
