Assassin’s Creed Mirage sees Ubisoft’s historical stabathon series return to its roots with more grounded combat and abilities, a map focused entirely around one city, and a return to the Middle East – where the franchise began.
Now, Ubisoft has revealed a further option that nods all the way back to Assassin’s Creed 1 (which, I’m slightly alarmed to acknowledge, is now nearing its 16th birthday).
Where Mirage’s colour palette is all golden sunrays and splashes of crimson, the original AC1 had a much bluer filter. To me, it pointed to the fact your historical adventures were all just a simulation – similar to the green palette employed in The Matrix films.
