Assassins Creed Mirage is an action-adventure title set in the Assassins Creed series of video games. This thirteenth mainline entry is a sequel to 2020’s Valhalla and features a return to roots for the franchise. As such, developer Ubisoft has built a world that pays homage to the very first game in the series and greatly emphasizes stealth this time around.

The game was released worldwide on October 5, 2023, for the PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 consoles. An iOS port for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is currently in development, scheduled to release sometime later this year.
