A new rumor suggests that Assassin's Creed Mirage has been internally delayed from August to October 2023, so fans may have to wait a bit longer to play the game. Developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, Assassin's Creed Mirage lets players control Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character first introduced in 2020’s Assassin's Creed Valhalla.Assassin's Creed Mirage was officially unveiled in 2022, with a scheduled release in 2023. However, not much has been revealed about the game since then, as fans patiently wait for more gameplay footage. A recent rumor suggested that Assassin's Creed Mirage may have been hit with a bump in production, resulting in a change in its release schedule. Now, another leak hints at the game getting further delayed until later in 2023.According to Tom Henderson, Ubisoft has internally delayed Assassin's Creed Mirage from August to October 2023, giving the development team a couple of additional months to work on the game. He also claims that the VR game Assassin's Creed Nexus has been delayed by a couple of months as well. While Tom Henderson has correctly leaked information in the past, gamers should take all rumors and leaks with a grain of salt, and wait for a confirmation from the developer or publisher.
A two-month-long delay does not sound that bad on paper, but it pushes Assassin's Creed Mirage into one of the busiest periods for new releases. Regardless, given the poorly optimized and buggy nature of recent releases like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Redfall, it’s probably best for the development team to take as much time as they need.
It’s worth noting that Assassin's Creed Mirage is not a full-priced game, as it will cost $49.99 at launch as opposed to $69.99 for many other titles. Assassin's Creed Mirage is also shorter in length, as fans can expect it to provide around 15–20 hours of content. Furthermore, Assassin's Creed Mirage will not feature a playable modern-day segment, with the full focus of its story on Basim’s journey. Overall, it seems like Mirage is a smaller-scale game in the Assassin’s Creed series, and its price looks to reflect the amount of content on offer.
Fans should note that Ubisoft is hosting a special presentation on June 12, 2023, featuring more information on its upcoming games. Assassin's Creed Mirage will probably be a huge part of the event, as Ubisoft is likely to reveal its final release date at this showcase.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
