Ubisoft Dismisses Assassin's Creed 1 Remake Reports (PlayStation LifeStyle)

Ubisoft's art director Jean-Luc Sala has dismissed recent reports of an Assassin's Creed 1 remake being in production.

[Axios](https://www.axios.com/2022/09/10/assassins-creed-red-hexe-jade-marc-alexis-cote), Marc-Alexis Côté denied that this was the case. YouTuber j0nathan claimed it was part of Mirage’s Season Pass (which we now know doesn’t exist), while others claimed that the remake was simply in development with no release information available at present. Then, at least three insiders over the last week who all leaked Assassin’s Creed Mirage information (now confirmed to be accurate, for the most part) claimed that an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake was in the works.

The game will launch in 2023 and will be available on all major platforms including older generation consoles as well.

The game will focus on stealth and a more AC-like setting in an old city.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Has Been Rated Adults Only By The ESRB ... (TheGamer)

Making it the first-ever Ubisoft game to get an Adults Only rating.

Due to recent changes to the ESRB guidelines, lootboxes are considered a form of gambling since they don't tell the player what they might be buying. Considering some stores won't stock games that are Adult Only, it's incredibly unlikely that Ubisoft allows Assassin's Creed Mirage to keep whatever real-world gambling it has. [only 33 games that have been given an AO rating between 1993 and 2018](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AO-rated_video_games), including the likes of Manhunt, Outlast 2, and Agony.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Rated “Adults Only” For Real Gambling (eXputer.com)

Assassin's Creed Mirage has surprisingly been rated "adults only" By ESRB. The 18+ rating is due to the game featuring real-life gambling.

There is a possibility that the “Adults Only” rating is a mistake, and it may be fixed in the future. If loot boxes are the reason, we may see more games start adopting the “Adults Only” rating in the future. The rating may also indicate that Assassin’s Creed Mirage features the dreaded loot boxes of some sort. This may explain the unusually high rating that Assassin’s Creed Mirage has ended up with. It is the first time in Assassin’s Creed history to achieve such a high rating. The game is reportedly set in ninth-century Baghdad and features a “cunning thief” named Basim.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is exactly what we need before the next ... (GamesRadar+)

It might feel strange for a successful series to take a break from its latest evolution to return to its origins, but that's exactly what Ubisoft is doing ...

Compared to the triple-ended sprawl of Valhalla's storyline, Assassin's Creed Mirage is instead a "tightly-crafted narrative-driven" adventure. Obviously, graphically the last few Assassin's Creed titles have set a high bar, but what tweaks will Ubisoft make to make a classic formula feel modern? [Ubisoft Forward 2022](https://www.gamesradar.com/everything-announced-ubisoft-forward-2022-assassins-creed-showcase/). It's almost a complete deviation away from the direction of the last three Assassin's Creed titles. We're joining the story of the returning character some 20 years before the events of Valhalla, to see how he goes from street thief to master assassin. At this point, Assassin's Creed as a series is at risk of developing open-world fatigue. [Assassin's Creed Odyssey](https://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-odyssey-guide/), which was followed by Assassin's Creed Valhalla and its epic Viking tale in 2020. With Assassin's Creed Mirage promising more nuanced detection so you can see exactly who's chasing you down, there's plenty of scope for this to be seriously satisfying. Each assassination will be a black box mission, allowing you to have some freedom as to how you take down your target, but I'm excited to have a tighter focus for each level. Its 2023 launch is perfect timing – both in terms of celebrating the series' 15th anniversary and acting as an intake of breath before the inevitably vast worlds of [Assassin's Creed Mirage](https://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-mirage-guide/). After [Assassin's Creed Origins](https://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-origins-review/) took the classic series' formula and applied it to a vast open-world scale and RPG mechanics back in 2017, we've had almost five years of huge Assassin's Creed titles.

[Ubisoft](/tag/ubisoft/) is home to quite a lot of influential IPs and Assassin’s Creed is indubitably one of their strongest suits.

In Yakuza’s case, the first game received an English dub, but ever since, all future titles just had English text with original Japanese dubbing.

Ubisoft formally announces Assassin's Creed Mirage, the new smaller-scale stealth-based game set in 9th century Baghdad starring Basim from AC Valhalla.

Mirage is not the future of the franchise, it's not a side step, it's not backward. - They're going to be obviously full of enemies, so it's perhaps not a good idea to go straight in and try to reach your target. "Mirage is going to be a condensed experience, It's a more focused game. Meant to be a stop-gap to fill in the empty space between Valhalla and the new Assassin's Creed Infinity platform, Mirage was originally a DLC that morphed into a full game. Mirage is more basic and it sounds all the better for it. Instead of featuring RPG elements that are meant to keep you playing for 100s of hours like Origins, Odyssey, or Valhalla, Mirage puts most of its emphasis on action and parkour and is more like the old classic AC games.

Game Rant speaks with Assassin's Creed Mirage creative director Stephane Boudon about recreating Baghdad, honoring old games, and more.

It's what we do all the time with history and all the time in history and local experts. So we have to choose sometimes, but really what we have in mind on all these choices was the quality we wanted to give to the player. It was perfect for us, and it was a perfect fit. And at the end, we have the last stage that will be the fight and conflict. So, we have new moves for Basim, we have new ingredients, and also the density of the city is really key because it's helped us to move very quickly everywhere, like on the roofs of Baghdad. For instance, you have the industrial district, you also have the district of knowledge with the House of Wisdom, which was the biggest library of that time, where scientists from all over the world debated and also revised the scriptures. Even if we are not in the holy land, we also draw some links to this future. So indeed, the most, let's say used, Assassin's Creed games were Assassin's Creed 1, Assassin's Creed 2, and in fact, the whole Ezio trilogy. Obviously, for us, he's one of the best characters to tell a bit more of his story, so that's why we decided to take a few steps back in time and tell his whole journey, his coming-of-age story, from street thief to master assassin.

Not many details were given, but it was said that they provide "opportunities to define the means and path to take down the next target." The eagle companion, first introduced in Assassin's Creed Origins, is back. Ubisoft says you can also expect the return of some classic parkour moves, including the corner swing, and for the pace of freerunning to be faster than in the older games. Much like the early entries in the series, this is a city-set game, and Baghdad is split into four different districts. It is designed to be a modern take on the original gameplay template for the earlier Assassin's Creed games, with developer Ubisoft Bordeaux using the same three design pillars as the original game: stealth, parkour, and assassinations.
