Ubisoft decided to hype up gamers by revealing six interesting tools that Basim, the main protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, can use in his quest against the Templar order. These tools are designed in such a way as to enhance Mirage's stealth gameplay and provide players with a variety of strategic options in order to distract their enemies, effortlessly take down their targets, and escape unseen.Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the next upcoming title in the popular Ubisoft franchise and is set to depart from the previous games' RPG elements. Assassin’s Creed Origins was the first game to add RPG components to the franchise, and ever since then, a significant player base has been asking for an Assassin's Creed game that returns the franchise to its original roots. With an alleged strong focus on stealth gameplay, Mirage is looking to be exactly that game. Ubisoft has revealed via a Twitter post, six tools that Assasin’s Creed Mirage players will be able to incorporate in their gameplay. The first one is a basic torch, which can help illuminate dark areas and set things on fire. The second tool is a blowdart, which can be skillfully used to put enemies to sleep from a distance. Next on the list is a trusty smoke bomb, a staple part of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, usually best used when escaping from enemies, as it creates a huge cloud of smoke that provides valuable cover.
The fourth tool is unquestionably the deadliest one in the game - the throwing knife. In previous games, the knives were used to easily dispose of unsuspecting foes from afar. Another useful tool is the noisemaker, which can be used to distract enemies, then slip easily past them. Finally, the last new tool meant to improve Assasin’s Creed Mirage's gameplay is the throwable poison trap which spews a cloud of deadly gas that will gradually damage anyone unlucky enough to be caught within its radius.
In the hands of a skilled player, these tools can provide an unprecedented advantage, as they will enhance Basim's ability to tactically maneuver around Baghdad with accuracy and expertise, as well as guarantee an immersive and engaging gaming experience for stealth fans. Assassin’s Creed Mirage will also feature a significantly smaller map in comparison to the previous Assassin's Creed games, which could perhaps also serve as a sign of a more focused and intimate gameplay experience that many fans longed for.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is set to release on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on October 12, 2023.
