It’s a fairly major departure from the approach taken withAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, which was still going strong with major expansions several years after its 2020 release, with last year’s Dawn of Ragnarök marking the third and final big chunk of story content. In addition to its three big expansions, Valhalla also saw multiple seasons including new events, game modes, weapons and equipment, cosmetics, and plenty more besides. Its last content updatereleased earlier this year, setting up its tie to Mirage.
“We decided to make Mirage a full game in the following weeks after starting working on it,” narrative director Sarah Beaulieu replied to another question during the AMA. “The opportunity of working on the city of Baghdad, and on the character of Basim, was too good to be missed!”

Boudon delve into some more technical aspects of Mirage too, mentioning that quicksaving will be more “accessible” than previous Assassin’s Creed games and confirming that, despite the game’s throwback to ACs of old, the earlier games’ back and side ejects - which allowed players to leap away from walls as they scaled them - will not make a return in Mirage.
“For Parkour we are focusing on fluidity and control and building our own thing, taking inspiration from several ACs,” Boudon said. “Back ejects and side ejects as in the pre-AC3 games are not part of our Parkour system, but we put a lot of efforts working on small details to make sure players have the best control on Basim. We are still fine-tuning the Parkour to reinforce even more this control and the feeling of fluidity and agility when traversing Baghdad.”
