Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Game Informer Cover Reveals New Details
Last September, Ubisoft announced Assassin’s Creed Mirage during a special stream commemorating the franchise’s 15th anniversary. Now, a year later and just over a month before its release on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, the game takes the spotlight on the latest cover of Game Informer. The magazine traveled to France to speak with Ubisoft Bordeaux, a relatively new studio within the Ubisoft family. Established in 2017, Ubisoft Bordeaux initially served as a support studio but was given the opportunity to develop a full game after leading the development of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Wrath of the Druids DLC.
The Evolution of Assassin’s Creed Mirage
In this cover story, Game Informer provides exclusive coverage and new details about the journey of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Originally conceived as a DLC for Valhalla, the game evolved into a standalone release. Readers will learn how Ubisoft Bordeaux is bringing 9th Century Golden Age Baghdad to life, why the character Basim Ibn Is’haq makes a return, and more. The magazine’s team had the opportunity to play the game for two hours, completing three contracts that were previously unseen by the public. They also interviewed three key members of the development team to understand Ubisoft Bordeaux’s approach in returning to the roots of the Assassin’s Creed series.
The Captivating Game Informer Covers
The cover of the Game Informer issue features stunning artwork showcasing the protagonist Basim, who will develop from a street thief into a master assassin. The standard edition cover presents this artwork, while the Game Informer Gold cover adds an extra touch of glamour with metallic gold accents. The Gold edition is numbered, making it a collectible item for fans.
What Else to Expect in Issue 359
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is just the beginning of the content-rich Issue 359. The magazine offers an in-depth retrospective on the first Splinter Cell game, including exclusive interviews and never-before-seen development images. Another retrospective explores each mainline Assassin’s Creed game. Readers can also delve into features about balancing online multiplayer games, a comprehensive preview of Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion, an in-depth look at Alan Wake II, and much more.
Additionally, the magazine features previews of upcoming games such as Lords of the Fallen, The Crew Motorfest, Enshrouded, Star Wars Outlaws, Persona 5 Tactica, the Persona 3 Reload remake, and Mortal Kombat 1. As always, readers can expect the latest reviews, including Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, Sea of Stars, Disney Illusion Island, Baldur’s Gate 3, Immortals of Aveum, Blasphemous 2, Stray Gods, and more.
