Ubisoft held its Ubisoft Forward presentation yesterday, showcasing what’s in store for the future of the “Assassin’s Creed” franchise.
The big reveal was the debut trailer of “Assassin’s Creed Mirage,” the next entry in the long-running series, which follows a young Basim in Baghdad twenty years before the events of ‘Valhalla’.
Set to arrive next year, the narrative-driven game will reportedly go back to the action-adventure roots of the series and boasts “The Expanse” alum Shohreh Aghdashloo as the voice of Basim’s mentor Roshan.
Also confirmed is details on two chapters for the upcoming live-service title “Assassin’s Creed Infinity”. The first is ‘Codename Red’ being developed by Ubisoft Quebec and will explore Feudal Japan – letting players live in a “very powerful shinobi fantasy”. The other is ‘Codename Hexe’, which remains vaguer but is rumored to be tied to witch trials during the period of the Holy Roman Empire.
