Even so, a lot of details can be learned and inferred based on what was shown.

The premier trailer for Assassin’s Creed Mirage is only CGI, which is very common for the AC franchise in general. Basim's training will take him to Alamut, the Hidden Ones' fortress located in Northern Iran.ĭespite it having such close ties to earlier games in the franchise, narrative director Sarah Beaulieu says that the story should be accessible to all players, including newcomers.Assassin's Creed Mirage: Cinematic World Premiere | #UbiForward With the Staff of Hermes in hand - containing the consciousness of Aletheia, his lover - he requests to meet William Miles.ĭuring Mirage, players will also meet Roshan, Basim's mentor and a 'key character' that will be throughout the entire game. In the present day, Layla inadvertently frees Basim, who was kept alive for over 1,000 years.

Ubisoft said it wanted players to really feel like the series was getting back to its roots with this 'coming of age' story. Players will play as Basim in his earlier years as a thief before he joined the Hidden Ones.

One leaked image for Mirage appears to display the text 'The Forty Thieves Quest,' likely referring to the tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves from One Thousand and One Nights. While creative liberties have often been taken in its retelling, the story centers around a poor woodworker named Ali Baba stumbling upon the wealth of Forty Thieves and the fallout of this discovery. Likewise, the Hidden Ones will soon become the Assassins Brotherhood as players have come to know them in the first game. This time period sees one of the last cells of the Order of the Ancients transform into the Templar Order. Mirage takes place at least in part in Baghdad 20 or so years before the events of Valhalla, which took place during the late 9th century.
