Highlights
- Assassin's Creed Mirage's release date has been moved from October 12 to October 5, giving fans the chance to play it earlier than expected.
- The game's return to the franchise's roots has generated high excitement among fans, who are eager to see if Assassin's Creed Mirage lives up to the hype.
- By changing the release date, Ubisoft has strategically distanced Assassin's Creed Mirage from other highly-anticipated games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Spider-Man 2, potentially increasing its chances of success.
Ubisoft has changed the release date for Assassin's Creed Mirage, moving the highly-anticipated game from October 12 to October 5. Typically, video game release date changes means fans are going to have to wait longer to play the game, but that's not the case with Assassin's Creed Mirage.
Hype is high whenever a new Assassin's Creed game is nearing release, but it seems fans are especially excited for Assassin's Creed Mirage. The recent Assassin's Creed games have been massive open world affairs with a focus on RPG elements, but Assassin's Creed Mirage seems to be a return to the franchise's roots, having a lot more in common the first two games than anything else.
Fans excited to see if Assassin's Creed Mirage lives up to the hype don't have to wait as long to play it as previously expected now that the game is launching on October 5 instead of October 12. Along with revealing the new Assassin's Creed Mirage release date, Ubisoft also confirmed that the game has gone gold, meaning it's wrapped development and ready to ship to stores. It's possible that the release date change is just because Assassin's Creed Mirage went gold earlier than Ubisoft expected, but it's also possible that this was a calculated decision to put some distance between the game and some of the other heavy hitters set to drop in October.
What is the Assassin's Creed Mirage Release Date?
- October 5, 2023
October 2023 is typically one of the most-stacked months when it comes to new video game releases, and that holds true for October 2023. Moving the Assassin's Creed Mirage release date to October 5 puts it farther away from Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Spider-Man 2, both of which are expected to be two of the best-selling games of the entire year. This should give Assassin's Creed Mirage more time in the spotlight, though the first half of October 2023 is still plenty busy.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is still releasing around the same time as Detective Pikachu Returns and Forza Motorsport, but those games are definitely not as big of a threat to AC Mirage as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Spider-Man 2. As long as Ubisoft has stuck the landing with Assassin's Creed Mirage's return to the franchise's roots, the release date change could go a long way in solidifying it as a big hit.
Assassin's Creed Mirage launches October 5 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
