Typically, when we hear about release date changes, we anticipate a delay. But that isn’t the case with Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which has gone gold and is now launching a week earlier than before. The new release date is October 5 and it’ll be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Originally announced at Ubisoft Forward 2022, Assassin’s Creed Mirage takes place two decades before Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and focuses on ninth-century Baghdad. Players take on the role of Basim Ibn Ishaq, who can slow down time, to help plan assassinations. The game will return to having a heavier focus on stealth and parkour, compared to recent Assassin’s Creed games.
The move to release the game a week early likely has to do with the other major titles releasing in October: Forza Motorsport, Lords of the Fallen, Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, among others.
