Assassin's Creed Mirage, the thirteenth major installment developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux and published by Ubisoft, diverges from recent entries by refocusing on stealth, parkour, and assassinations. Set in 9th-century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age, the narrative follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a street thief turned Hidden One, navigating an internal struggle between duty and uncovering a mysterious past amidst the Anarchy at Samarra.

Originally conceived as a Valhalla expansion, Assassin's Creed Mirage transformed into a standalone title, releasing on October 5, 2023. Initial reception lauded its world design and return to core elements, though criticism arose regarding character development and narrative ties.
