Sometimes going back to the fundamentals is the best way to move forward. That's the approach Ubisoft's taking for Assassin's Creed Mirage; the next entry in the 15-year-old series sees the open-world RPG approach ditched in favour of something more familiar to fans of the classics, while incorporating the best bits of all of its predecessors.
While smaller in scale as a result, Mirage still has plenty of potential to excite. Its densely-built Baghdad is a sandbox playground to explore, and one with greater fidelity than the cities we've explored in the series to date.
Despite the old-school approach being taken, Mirage has a direct link to the recent Assassin's Creed Valhalla, as the central character is Basim Ibn Ishaq, many years before he met Eivor and introduced them to the Hidden Ones and their role as an assassin.
