Set decades before the events of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Mirage is a “coming-of-age story” following Basim Ibn Ishaq, a street thief who will learn to fight for a cause larger than himself by becoming a Hidden One, under the tutelage of his mentor, Roshan.nnnnPrincipally set in Baghdad in the 9th century, during the Islamic Golden Age, the game will follow Basim Ibn Ishaq (a character first introduced in Valhalla) and his transition from street thief to fully fledged member of the Assassin Brotherhood, who fight for peace and liberty, against the Templar Order, who desire peace through control. The game has been described as a return to the series’ roots, focusing on stealth, parkour, and assassinations, and less on the role-playing elements featured heavily in recent installments.
