ASSASSIN’S CREED MIRAGE
OUT 12 OCTOBER PC, PS4/5, XBOX ONE/SERIES S/X
It’s rare that the latest entry in a long-running franchise boasts of being than its predecessor. But, perhaps conscious that many players didn’t reach the end of 2020’s – and wary of franchise fatigue – Ubisoft has positioned this direct follow-up as a throwback to the series’ origins, with a 15-20hour story that prioritises stealth over action. Set in ninth-century Baghdad, it even allows you to use a blue-grey visual filter that harks back to the look of the very first.
