Assassin's Creed Mirage has apparently been given a new release date, according to information reported by insider Tom Henderson. Ubisoft is now planning to release the next installment by August 2023. Are there any internal issues we're not aware of?

Initially, they wanted to get the game out to stores so that it would be ready for sale before the end of 2022, but the team simply didn't have the time. After joining the publisher, the plan was to release the game in its due time, May 2023. Fortunately, that scenario won't happen. Ubisoft is now hoping to release Assassin's Creed Mirage in August 2023.

The source indicated that the game was internally delayed twice, which took it away from the previous part, Valhalla, by more than two years. But after delaying the game internally to August of next year, it is 3 years away from the current part.

The leaker, “Henderson,” claimed that one of the reasons for the delay could be the company’s desire to release the game not only on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, but also on the next-gen PS4 and Xbox One platforms, where it could create additional problems for developers.

Some updates on Red/Hexe here too! 🙂 https://t.co/SSq9KCL7Mv

As for the Assassin's Creed Red project, it is facing some internal issues, according to some informed sources, while the upcoming project, Project Hexe, has received a lot of praise in pre-production, as sources indicate that full production will begin soon. The sources stated the release date for both projects. We will see Project Red in 2024 if it is not delayed due to issues and we will see Project HEXE in 2026, the project that will move the Assassin's Creed series in a different direction.

In any case, it's good that we'll see the series return to its roots, Assassin's Creed Mirage will be closer to the structure of the original series' installments, as it will focus on melee combat, sequencing, and parkour movements in a dense and crowded city, so the size of the game will be close to the sizes of the first installments in the series before moving on to the RPG style that offered massive content with an open world.

We still don't know when we'll see the second reveal, but the first and final word still rests with Ubisoft, so don't take the leak seriously either way.
