Is Assassin's Creed Mirage open world?
Assassin’s Creed is returning after a three-year hiatus, and with the constant reinvention of the franchise, Mirage will offer something a little different - including an open world that's a little different to what came before.
The last three Assassin’s Creed games have had some of the biggest worlds we have seen in gaming, featuring Greece, Egypt and England. But with the popular series returning to a more condensed, urban setting, Mirage features a smaller, denser area.
The game focuses on stealth, just like the original, leaving some of the more RPG-heavy influences behind in favour of a shorter experience. Assassin’s Creed Mirage follows Basim (who was first introduced in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) when he was a young man in Baghdad on his journey to becoming an Assassin.
With that said, let’s take a look at how much of Baghdad will be an open world just waiting to be explored in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
