Ubisoft’s long-standing Assassin’s Creed franchise is looking to grow with new entries on the horizon. A brand new leak has sprung in the proverbial ship indicating a release window for the smaller Assassin’s Creed project that fans have known of for quite some time, along with a bevy of new information on what to expect. There’s a lot of information in the newest wave of rumors regarding the future of the alternate history franchise, and here’s what you need to know on the possible release timeline of Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Possible Release Timeline Explained
The recent set of rumors and speculation comes from YouTuber j0nathan, who claims that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is supposedly targeting a Spring 2023 release. First reported by Bloomberg back in February of this year, Ubisoft was going to release a smaller game sometime this year to fill in the gap until Assassin’s Creed Infinity launches in 2024.
The project, codenamed “Project Rift,” was set to follow the story of Basim from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in a much smaller entry that would focus more on stealth and his early adventures. During the developer’s earnings call back in July, it was revealed that a “smaller, premium title” would be delayed until 2023, with many believing it to be this very title. If this information proves correct, which Jason Schreier has cosigned, then this is the most information fans of Assassin’s Creed have gotten to date on what Mirage could hold.
Interestingly enough, the idea of a “full remake” of the first Assassin’s Creed game is the most intriguing prospect in the sea of leaks. Remakes have seen a ton of success and criticism, but with the Assassin’s Creed franchise experiencing tremendous change since the first game, this could be a return to the roots that some fans are hoping for. With the upcoming Ubisoft Forward show arriving next month, time will tell where the series heads next and the validity of these rumors.
That is everything you need to know on the possible release timeline of Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
