Master the Art of Stealth: Unleashing the Power of Assassin's Creed Mirage Control System

Assassin's Creed Mirage diverts from its prequel nature and instead pays homage to the original series prior to the Origins trilogy, which encompasses Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. The game places greater emphasis on stealth, espionage, and assassinations, while the exploration aspect is more condensed compared to its predecessors' open-world RPG mechanics.

The protagonist of Assassin's Creed Mirage is Basim, a member of the Creed Brotherhood during their early days as the Hidden Ones. Through the game, players gain deeper insight into the ongoing conflict between the Hidden Ones and their eventual adversaries, the Order of Ancients, who eventually transform into the Templars. Fans of the series will appreciate the nostalgic feeling and aesthetics of Mirage, albeit with parkour mechanics more akin to Assassin's Creed Valhalla. This guide will demonstrate how players can modify their controls in AC Mirage to mirror the gameplay experience of earlier titles such as Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and those that came before it.

How To Change The Controls In AC Mirage

To customize the control system for Assassin's Creed Mirage, start by pressing the start/options button on the gamepad.

Select Menu, then highlight and select Options.

Select the Controls menu.

Navigate to Controller and then click on Customize Controls.

Choose Sprint/Lunge/Gallop and assign it to the desired button, which is RT for Xbox or R2 for PlayStation. Make sure to select Hold from the dropdown menu beside the input key.

Press R1 on PS or RB on Xbox to highlight Gameplay Actions.

Change Eagle Vision to the L-stick button and ensure Toggle is selected.

Highlight and select the Combat menu.

Under Tools, change the Tools Wheel to Hold left on the D-pad.

The control system depicted above is designed to closely resemble the control scheme utilized in older Assassin's Creed games, specifically those released after Assassin's Creed 3. This setup ensures that the new button assignments do not conflict with each other. To enhance the experience of free running and parkour, one simply needs to hold down the R2/RT button. Additionally, the familiar X/A button is used for climbing, while the Circle/B button is employed to ascend and descend buildings, similar to the control scheme found in Assassin's Creed Unity and Syndicate.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is available now for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
