First Look at Assassin’s Creed Mirage Gameplay at PlayStation Showcase, Out This October
/Ubisoft appeared at PlayStation’s big May 2023 Showcase revealing Assassin’s Creed Mirage gameplay for the first time, highlighting that the next entry is going back to the series roots as the title has more emphasis on stealth and assassination compared to being an action RPG, like previous titles.
The Assasin’s Creed franchise has been more focused on being an action RPG open-world epic for years now, and Mirage going back to being more stealthy and finding the best approach to assassinate targets actually feels refreshing at this point.
The parkour is as fluid as ever though actual combat is a big question mark as it doesn’t clearly show if they are going to adapt combat from previous titles or bring it all the way back to the Assassin’s Creed 2 or Syndicate days. One noticeable change in traversal though is Basim’s ability to pole vault to reach certain areas.
With Assassin’s Creed Mirage currently set to release on October 12, 2023, preorders for the game are now available.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.
