Assassin's Creed Mirage: Unveiling Ubisoft's Game-Changing Feature!

Highlights

Assassin's Creed Mirage brings the series back to its roots, focusing on the Creed and the Hidden Ones, which was missing from the previous two titles.

The franchise lost its identity by deviating too far from the original concept. Assassin's Creed Odyssey felt more like a role-playing game set in Ancient Greece. Fans have longed for a return to the series' roots, and it appears that Assassin's Creed Mirage is fulfilling their desires by reintroducing the classic Assassin vs Templar story that the series is renowned for.

In the past decade, Ubisoft has made efforts to reinvent its highly acclaimed Assassin's Creed franchise. This included taking the franchise back to its origins while transitioning from action-adventure games to full-fledged RPGs. Although these changes brought success to the studio, they also resulted in a slight loss of the franchise's identity. However, Assassin's Creed Mirage is successfully bringing the series back to its roots and receiving positive feedback so far.

Assassin's Creed Mirage offers a more compact adventure compared to its RPG predecessors, but this does not hinder its quality. While it may not be flawless, fans will find plenty to appreciate. In particular, the main story focuses on the Creed and The Hidden Ones, authentic Assassins, once again. While it is logical for an Assassin's Creed game to revolve around assassins, the past two titles deviated significantly from this concept. Now that the series has returned to its origins, future installments should remain true to this theme.

Assassin's Creed Cannot Forget About the Creed Again

The Assassin's Creed franchise was originally centered around two secretive orders battling throughout history. This was the core focus of the storyline, until Assassin's Creed Odyssey was released. Following Origins, which introduced the origins of the Hidden Ones in a fresh RPG format, fans were eager to see what direction the franchise would take next. However, this new chapter seemed to have lost sight of the essence of Assassin's Creed.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey, instead of adhering to the Creed, felt more like an RPG set in Ancient Greece. Neither of the playable characters were true Assassins, players were occupied with eliminating the Cult of Kosmos rather than the Templars, and the story diverged significantly from the franchise's overarching narrative. It can be argued that while the game offered a captivating exploration of history, it only bore the name of an Assassin's Creed game.

The Assassin's Creed Valhalla game introduced the Hidden Ones once again, but this time players took on the role of a Viking named Eivor who aimed to build a new Viking clan in England. Despite the inclusion of familiar franchise elements, the gameplay of Valhalla didn't quite capture the essence of the traditional Assassin's Creed experience due to the Vikings' lack of subtlety.

However, Ubisoft has shown a positive response to fans' desires for a return to the series' roots with the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage. This new game brings back the classic conflict between Assassins and Templars, allowing players to control an assassin, cooperate with other assassins, and work towards eradicating Templar influence from a city, similar to the beloved older titles. Although there may still be some rough edges, it is comforting to see that Ubisoft is addressing the wishes of the fanbase.

Given the fragment content, here's the rewritten version:

"With Assassin's Creed Mirage successfully returning the franchise to its core, Ubisoft should maintain this direction. The previous two games, which had minimal involvement of the Creed, were a source of frustration for many players. Having regained the essence, it would be unfortunate to discard it. Such a perplexing decision could not only cause confusion, but also prompt disappointment among dedicated fans. Therefore, it is recommended that upcoming titles stay true to the Creed.

Assassin's Creed Mirage can be enjoyed on various platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X."
