Ubisoft has released a free trial for Assassin’s Creed Mirage on PC and consoles.
Available until April 30, it lets players sample the first two hours of the game and carry over their progress to the full title should they choose to buy it.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage was released last October for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC, and an iPhone 15 Pro version is scheduled to arrive in “early 2024”.
Mirage’s development was led by Ubisoft Bordeaux, the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Wrath of the Druids expansion.
Billed as a love letter to the original Assassin’s Creed, gameplay is focused on parkour, stealth and assassinations, marking a return to the action-adventure style of games released prior to the more expansive RPG-style series entries Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla.
“In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you are Basim, a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions, seeking answers and justice. After an act of deadly retribution, Basim flees Baghdad and joins an ancient organization – The Hidden Ones,” reads an official blurb for the game.
“As he learns their mysterious rituals and powerful tenets, he will hone his unique abilities, discover his true nature, and come to understand a new Creed – one that will change his fate in ways he never could have imagined.”
According to VGC’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage review, its “short, sharp trip through the blood-soaked streets of Baghdad” offers “a welcome return to the series’ roots” and feels like “a breath of fresh air in the endless sea of open world adventure games”.
A week after its release, Ubisoft said Assassin’s Creed Mirage was its biggest PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launch to date in terms of unit sales.
The company recently confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Codename Red, which is set in feudal Japan, will be released before April 2025.
