Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage reportedly delayed after dev issues UbisoftAccording to a new report, Ubisoft has internally delayed Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage to sometime in August 2023. Following months of rumors and leaks, the publisher unveiled AC Mirage and several other AC titles during its Ubisoft Forward event this past September. Mirage, in particular, will star Basim Ibn Ishaq of AC Valhalla fame as he embarks on a journey to become a member of the Assassin\u2019s Order. Set in Baghdad two decades prior to Valhalla\u2019s events, the game will supposedly see the long-running franchise return to form. Thus, players can expect assassinations, parkour, and stealth to once more serve as the adventure\u2019s defining design pillars. Ubisoft has reportedly delayed Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage Insider Gaming reports the French publisher previously positioned the newest AC experience to launch earlier in 2023 \u2013 at least internally. Such plans have allegedly changed. According to the publication, the project has been delayed on two separate occasions. Now the Basim-starring Assassin\u2019s Creed outing is tentatively targeting an August 2023 due date. If true, nearly three years will have passed between mainline AC entries, a first for the brand that once launched annually. Sources who spoke to Insider Gaming didn\u2019t divulge a reason for the protracted development cycle. The game\u2019s cross-gen development could constitute one motivating factor, however. The site\u2019s sources claimed the feudal Japan-set title, Assassin\u2019s Creed Codename Red, is plagued by development issues, though. This comes in the wake of a report from TheGamer in September in which a staffer alleged some developers were uncomfortable working with Creative Director Jonathan Dumont because of past abuse allegations. Apparently, Dumont\u2019s leading role on Codename Red led to \u201cmany developers\u201d exiting Ubisoft outright. Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
