A new screenshot of Basim, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Mirage, has been unveiled along with a hidden character named Roshan. The marketing campaign for the highly anticipated game is now in full swing as it gears up for its October release. Fans have been eagerly anticipating the return to the classic Assassin's Creed formula, and the recent release of the first gameplay trailer has only added to the excitement. Unlike the previous titles, which took an RPG approach to their game design, Assassin's Creed Mirage is set to bring back the one-hit stealth kills that reward players for hiding in the shadows and eliminating enemies with precision.
The official Assassin's Creed Twitter account recently shared a screenshot featuring the game's protagonist, Basim, stealthily lurking above his target. The image is undeniably impressive, depicting Basim hiding in the rafters and potentially teasing the stealth-focused gameplay that Assassin's Creed Mirage promises. However, eagle-eyed fans have spotted an intriguing detail that fully embraces the "hide in plain sight" approach. Among the crowd below Basim, his mentor Roshan can be seen, adding an extra layer of complexity to the game's narrative.
As a relatively new addition to the Assassin's Creed franchise, Basim has a lot to prove compared to classic protagonists such as Ezio Auditore and Edward Kenway. The success of previous games in the series has often hinged on the strength of their protagonists, so the pressure is on for Basim to deliver. However, a strong mentor can also make a significant difference, and the fact that Roshan will be at the height of her power in AC Mirage bodes well for the game's overall narrative.
Gamers can expect to learn more about Assassin's Creed Mirage at Ubisoft Forward before the game's release later this year. Additionally, Ubisoft has been dropping hints about the future of the franchise with multiple titles, including Assassin's Creed Nexus, which will also be showcased at the event. Fans can look forward to a glimpse of the upcoming VR title. With Assassin's Creed Jade, Hexe, and Red also in development, there is much to be excited about for fans of the franchise. Mark your calendars for October 12, when Assassin's Creed Mirage will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
