Next Assassin\u2019s Creed reportedly drops RPG style & returns to basics UbisoftA new leak claims the next Assassin\u2019s Creed game will abandon RPG elements from recent installments and return to the franchise\u2019s basics. Rumors about the next Assassin\u2019s Creed entry have circulated for months on end. According to a Bloomberg report from earlier in the year, AC Valhalla\u2019s Basim will star in the new installment. The title reportedly codenamed Rift will take place in Baghdad if other uncorroborated reports prove accurate. Ubisoft has yet to officially detail its plans for this alleged interstitial release, however. With Ubisoft\u2019s promise to unveil the \u201cfuture of Assassin\u2019s Creed\u201d in an upcoming September event, it should come as no surprise that a fresh batch of rumors and leaks have begun to circulate. Next Assassin\u2019s Creed game reportedly ditches RPG mechanics A report from reliable Assassin\u2019s Creed leaker and YouTuber j0nathan (via Rebs Gaming) indicates the project formerly known as AC Rift will carry the name of Mirage upon release. J0nathan claims Baghdad will indeed serve as Mirage\u2019s setting, allegedly taking place years before AC Valhalla between 860 and 870 during the Anarchy at Samarra period. Players can expect to assume the role of a young Basim, who operates as a thief prior to joining the Hidden Ones. Apparently, the role-playing mechanics introduced in Origins will take a backseat, eschewing features such as dialogue choices and the leveling system. Supposedly, traditional AC elements will return to the fore, with Mirage being heavily influenced by the original 2007 adventure. The leaker also says the next Assassin\u2019s Creed game should release sometime in the spring of 2023. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier cast doubt on a few of j0nathan\u2019s other details, though. For one, the YouTuber alleges Mirage will play host to multiple explorable cities. Someone familiar with Ubisoft\u2019s operations told Schreier this is inaccurate. In addition, the journalist thinks talk of an Assassin\u2019s Creed 1 remake launching in a Season Pass for Mirage \u2013 akin to AC3 Remastered\u2019s inclusion in Odyssey \u2013 \u201cseems dubious.\u201d But Schreier\u2019s source did insist that parts of j0nathan\u2019s information are true, including the new name, release window, Baghdad setting, and return to basics motif. If Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage does indeed return the series to its more basic structure, it couldn\u2019t do so at a better time. This year marks the long-running franchise\u2019s 15th anniversary, after all. Hopefully, Ubisoft\u2019s special plans for an Assassin\u2019s Creed reveal in September will finally clear up confusion about where the history-hopping brand is headed next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
