Definitely, Ubisoft has great difficulty in keeping secrets: following the time and the name of the main character, it is the turn of the release date of the recently formalized Assassin’s Creed Mirage to leak on the Internet.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage can’t be discreet!
And Assassin’s Creed Mirage returns to the sources for the saga by emphasizing infiltration, the game does not manage to be discreet. It must be said that it has been almost two years now that the Assassin’s Creed license has not had the right to a new opus; As a reminder, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was released in late 2020 to accompany the launch of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Everyone is then on the lookout for any information regarding this new Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
It is surely for this primary reason that it was known long before the reveal of the game that Mirage would take place in the city of Baghdad, in the 9th century. It is also for this reason that we also knew the identity of the hero of this new chapter, namely Basim, who we have already seen in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. However, the Ubisoft conference broadcast in early September still allowed us to learn more regarding the story of Basim, a character presented as a vagrant who evolves somehow in the streets of Baghdad to do justice.
Already a release date for Assassin’s Creed Mirage?
Today, it’s the turn of another important information regarding Assassin’s Creed Mirage to leak on the Internet: its release date. If the various official information indicates a vague 2023, it might be that we already have the precise launch date of the game.
It was following pre-ordering the Collector’s version of Assassin’s Mirage on the Ubisoft Store that we came across the information by surprise! Indeed, the invoice for this pre-order indicates an “estimated delivery date” which points to May 15, 2023! In other words, it might be that the release of the title is on this date or around this one.
This new information obviously echoes those shared in August by journalist Jason Schreier. It indicated that Assassin’s Creed Mirage would see the light of day in the spring of 2023.
A person familiar tells me parts of this new Assassin’s Creed leak are true (such as the name and the other stuff Bloomberg has already reported: spring 23, Baghdad, back to AC basics) and other parts are not (“multiple cities to explore”) https://t.co/qmM6UZtKnG

Someone familiar told me that some parts of this new Assassin’s Creed leak are true (like the name of the game and other info Bloomberg has already shared: Spring 2023, Baghdad, back to basics for licensing), but others are not (“several cities to explore”).
Obviously, all this information is to be taken with the usual tweezers since nothing has been formalized on the part of Ubisoft.
