Assassin's Creed Mirage is the 13th main Assassin's Creed game, developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux and published by Ubisoft. It was released on PS4, PS5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on 5 October 2023 and on iOS and iPadOS on 6 June 2024. It is a successor to Valhalla and began life as a Valhalla expansion before becoming a standalone game.
You play as Basim, who first appeared in Valhalla. The game is set in 9th-century Baghdad during the Anarchy at Samarra, about a decade before Valhalla. The story opens in 861 CE in Anbar, where Basim is a street thief. Roshan, voiced by Shohreh Aghdashloo, is his mentor. Basim hunts four of the five members of the Order of the Ancients who have infiltrated the Caliphate.
Gameplay is stealth-focused. Basim has a Hidden Blade, smoke bombs, throwing knives and other tools, an eagle companion, Enkidu, who scouts areas, and an Assassin Focus ability that marks enemies for takedown. The main districts are the Round City, Karkh, Abbasiyah (with the House of Wisdom) and Harbiyah. A free expansion, Valley of Memory, was released on 18 November 2025.
Social blending, hiding spots and tools such as smoke bombs, throwing knives, noisemakers, traps, blowdarts and torches. Basim has six tools and a skill tree.
An eastern imperial eagle that scouts areas. Enemy marksmen can detect and shoot it.
Four main districts — Round City, Karkh, Abbasiyah and Harbiyah — plus smaller towns such as Anbar and Jarjaraya.
Each bureau district forms an arc of Investigation Board tasks (explore, eavesdrop, examine, eliminate) leading to a main Order target.
