Revolutionary First in Assassin's Creed Mirage: What You Need to Know

Arabic language options will be included in the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed Mirage, marking Ubisoft's continued commitment to incorporating native languages into the series. Since Assassin's Creed 2, each adventure has featured the language of the country in which it is set, with the most recent installment, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, showcasing a blend of Nordic and Gaelic dialects. As a testament to its own subscription service, Ubisoft+ will offer the game on launch day, along with PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. It's worth noting that the PC release will be available through both Epic Games and Ubisoft directly. With the game's release date of October 12th quickly approaching, further information about the game's language options has been revealed.

Assassin's Creed Mirage will be the first game in the franchise to feature Arabic dubbing and subtitles, as announced on the official Assassin's Creed Twitter account. Actor Eyad Nassar, known for his work in popular Egyptian TV shows, such as Face and Back and The Choice, will be playing the main character Basim in the Arabic dub. Despite rumors of gambling elements in the game, fans are thrilled to have the option to fully immerse themselves in the game's setting, especially since the first Assassin's Creed game did not offer an Arabic language option, despite taking place in the Middle East. Ubisoft's inclusion of localized language options is a welcome addition for gamers exploring Baghdad during its Golden Age.

After players got their first look at Assassin’s Creed Mirage gameplay during the recent PlayStation Showcase, fans of the franchise are feeling increasingly optimistic about Ubisoft’s open-world series. The trailer teased that Mirage will be a more focused experience, taking inspiration from the older games by emphasizing combat and stealth rather than the RPG elements present in recent entries.

With Ubisoft’s disappointing financial results in 2022, the company is placing a great deal of emphasis on the success of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Ubisoft has expanded its own studios to work on various projects, including a Netflix series and several upcoming Assassin’s Creed games. It remains to be seen how the direction of Mirage will impact the franchise going forward, but it seems that incorporating native languages will remain a part of Ubisoft’s plans.

Assassin's Creed Mirage launches on October 12 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
