Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the next title from Ubisoft that everyone is waiting for and before releasing this one makes a final point on its lifespan.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage must be a homecoming for the famous franchise. Mean by that a more “intimate” game which is similar in form to the 2007 episode with a lot (not at all?) of RPG elements as in the last episodes. Based on this premise, the developers at Ubisoft wanted to come back to the thorny question of lifespan. The editor persists and signs.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a notion that divides
Thus in an interview with the French YouTube channel of the influencer Julien Chièze, the main producer of the game Assassin’s Creed Mirage to know Fabian Salomon gives an overview of the time it really takes to complete Mirage without waffling. According to him, internal playtests have shown that a “rushed” game lasts around 20 hours, while a much fuller run takes between 25 and 30 hours. So you can stretch the lifespan to 30 hours by taking your time and completing all the tasks. This is obviously a much smaller lifetime than Assassin’s Creed Origins , Odyssey And Valhalla all of which can last close to 100 hours or more depending on how you play. A new proof that Ubisoft really wants to return to the origins and in particular the games which revolve around the character of Ezio which all had a playing time of around thirty hours maximum.
It will still divide
Obviously this statement on Assassin’s Creed Mirage has something to divide the fans. Between nostalgics for whom this is very good news and new players who are rocked by the RPG aspect of the latest episodes. We will therefore have to make up our minds, if 30 hours is a good lifespan, we should not expect an episode like in recent years. Gossips will say that this duration will allow Ubisoft not to drown the player in useless quests to get straight to the point. And in fact, it’s not totally false… It will be a good opportunity to discover the city of Baghdad in detail without having this feeling of exhaustion at the end of the adventure.
On your side, what do you think of the choice to propose an episode with a maximum of thirty hours? Is this good or bad news?
