Assassin’s Creed Mirage is certainly the most anticipated game at the moment. And to raise the pressure a notch, Ubisoft is revealing a nice surprise.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is now coming very soon. You can almost see the tip of his secret blade on the horizon. The wait is therefore great and Ubisoft is taking advantage of the surrounding excitement to sell a little extra dream. Particularly with the introduction of a mechanic that is very appreciated by everyone, regardless of the style of play.
An expected mechanic for Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Like its predecessors, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is particularly beautiful. Especially since it allows you to discover the very luminous landscapes of the magnificent city of Baghdad. Aware of its strong points, the French-speaking publisher Ubisoft has just lifted the veil on the arrival of a photo mode. We can learn the news via the adventure game’s official Twitter account.
A good opportunity to show off some features and options that are included in the mode. We can notably admire the presence of 8 different filters, one of which is a tribute to the very first Assassin’s Creed and its bluish tones. It is also possible to adjust the color temperature, exposure, contrast, hue, saturation, noise, vignetting, blur, fog and depth of field. Everything you need to play the apprentice photographer.
Photo mode is something relatively new (in the history of video games and taking a step back), but it is true that for several years it has become a very appreciable and appreciated mechanic. In a world where players share everything, all the time and with everyone, it has almost become an essential.
Back to basics
Assassin’s Creed Mirage marks a complete return to the sources and the golden age of Assassin’s Creed, offering a more reserved and intimate map. We are moving away from the bombastic maps of the last episodes which required dozens of hours of play to be explored in depth. The objective now is to present a place rich in details (Baghdad), thus allowing a much deeper immersion. Moreover, on this subject, it is known that Ubisoft has carried out significant work on a historical level, with the assistance of specialists, to guarantee a credible rendering on screen. There is no question of making mistakes in the representation of Arab-Persian culture. Even a Baghdad History mode is present to teach you more.
To get a more precise idea, we recommend that you read our preview on the subject. We have mixed opinions on certain aspects, particularly regarding the infiltration part which seems less convincing. On the other hand, the atmosphere created is flawless, offering an immersive experience through a multitude of small elements cleverly arranged to reinforce the authenticity of the environment. Baghdad appears as a truly vibrant and dynamic city, promising players a rich and deep experience. All that remains is to wait on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC on October 5, 2023.
