Ubisoft Montreal seems to be adding a unique garnish to Assassin’s Creed Mirage. A historical feast that delivers an immersive education to players along with the thrill of the game. With the gameplay of Assassin’s Creed Mirage primarily centred on the series’ signature stealth and skulduggery, the revival of a feature to enlighten players feels like a nifty addition.
The ‘History of Baghdad’ Feature in AC Mirage
Since the formal introduction of Assassin’s Creed Mirage in 2022, Ubisoft has been gradually divulging tasty facts about the forthcoming title. An assortment of details regarding its narrative, locale, and gameplay mechanics has been served, allowing fans a teasing taste of the banquet to come in 2023. With the rules of engagement and navigation outlined, Ubisoft seems set on whetting players’ appetites for the other scrumptious elements of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, particularly its enlightening new features.
In a recent bulletin on Ubisoft’s online portal, the team announced the integration of a fresh component, the “History of Baghdad”, into Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Seamlessly woven into the in-game Codex and archive, this attribute will enrich players with a backdrop on the historical spots, artefacts, and sociocultural happenings they will stumble upon during their adventures as the protagonist Basim in the ninth-century Baghdad. Players can delve into this wealth of knowledge during their playthrough, grouped under a quintet of categories such as Economy, Belief & Daily Life, Government, Art & Science, and Court Life.
Ubisoft’s Dedication to Detail in Assassin’s Creed Mirage
To ensure that the History of Baghdad is as faithful to its roots as possible, Ubisoft engaged the historical connoisseur, Dr. Raphaël Weyland, to labour on Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s creation. Weyland was granted the autonomy to shape much of the content that will make its way into the Codex feature, particularly facets that players would unearth in the game. Ubisoft also collaborated with numerous Middle Eastern historical maestros and world-renowned museums showcasing Islamic art to faithfully recreate the city of Baghdad within the digital realm.
While the lion’s share of players are primarily drawn to the action in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a portion might savour the historical insights it offers. Considering Ubisoft’s unwavering commitment to painstakingly accurate and detailed historical portrayals, we can anticipate the same dedication in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Until then, enthusiasts must patiently wait for the launch day to explore and experience this immersive historical lesson for themselves.
