TheAssassin’s Creed seriesbegan my love for stealth games, so Assassin’s Creed Mirage returning to the origins of the series has me excited for the title. The game follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character who first appeared in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Given Basim’s mysterious origins, I was curious where Assassin’s Creed Mirage would take place.

Is Assassins Creed Mirage open world?
It’s unclear if there are any areas outside of Baghdad the player can visit, but Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Miragewill not be open worldand will go back to the series' roots.

Is Assassins Creed Mirage a sequel?
Assassin’s Creed Mirage follows the story of Basim Ibn Ishaq, who starts off as a street thief and turns into a master assassin. That said, Assassin’s Creed Mirage ismore of a prequel, taking place 20 years before the events of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, allowing players to explore Basim’s origins. He takes on the role of a Hidden One, the first order of assassins, as he progresses through his training.
