I really enjoy how they took a lot of the interesting aspects of the RPG elements, but are still going back to the roots of the original assassination design. Even if these videos don't provide a ton, it's shows clearly Ubisoft's vision for this game and I really hope it's as good as it's marketing
Yep. I got no issue w rpg games, enjoy them a lot actually, but AC never felt right going full rpg, thats more of a souls game type of feeling. But this blend rlly works well at least w what we see rn, hopefully it actually works in game
Mirage is a compilation of multiple AC/Ubisoft titles: Tools: Revelations & Black Flag Upgrading: Syndicate Skill tree & Enkidu: RPG titles Notoriety & social stealth: mainly Ezio trilogy Assassin's focuse: Splinter Cell Conviction
Don’t forget the eagle which is basically just a drone from the Ghost Recon series. Not to mention the instant throwing knife kill after a stealth kill, which is ripped out of Far Cry. Also, the last seen location ghost which comes from Splinter Cell conviction.
A nice little starter guide for players who might be a little shaky or need some confidence. Thank you for the implicit message a video like this even _existing_ sends out, as well. "This is a stealth game. You'll enjoy it the most if you engage with stealth earnestly." Very nice to see a video like this. I'm impressed with whoever structured and put it together. Whoever you are, you did very well.
This is some basic knowledge about the game and, while most fans will grasp this without needing this video, i think it serves a MUCH greater purpose. Communication. Clarity that this game is indeed going for the more stealthy route. Everything we have seen in this game leans towards stealth. All of the promotional material, the 3rd party previews, these tutorial videos, its really looking good. I am no stranger to being deceived by Ubi, but we'll see. If its good, I hope they continue, If its not it'll be the last time I buy an AC game. That hurts to say but its true
@@nokjason703 they are all fun and you're able to make different builds on it . I get why old fans don't like it but at the end of the day, it was the outcome of fans getting what they wanted.
I loved that stealth kill from the bench! The way Basim guides the guard to the bench as if nothing happened, such a cool animation. Is there more of such sort like that one? 6:26
I love how they brought back some of the old stuff from the older assassin creed game. But what I'm wondering is the fighting going to be like it is with the newer ones. Which I liked the way the fighting was in the older game. Until they changed it up after Black Flag. I really loved the chain attacks.
Agree. What was great with chained eliminations is that it awarded players who started to master the combat system by allowing the character to dispose of multiple enemies quickly. In terms of gameplay, having a way to eliminate quickly a large number of enemies allows the developers to confront the player with larger groups. Getting rid of the feature while keeping large groups of enemies was a mistake in Unity, plus the fact that they parry all your light attacks if not countered first.
No they’re keeping fighting into the combat mobile games that they’re making. There’s nothing going back to the roots other than the setting. This is coming from someone who adores their old combat styles
While most of OG AC fans (including me) probably don't need to watch this guide. But a great helpfu to newbie fans or players who started in Odyssey/Valhalla
One of my favourite franchises growing up as a kid endlessly played hours and hours of AC and now that they’ve gone back to the roots I most definitely will be buying W in my opinion cause i stopped buying after odyssey went too off track
Odyssey is where they turned it into some action game onward for whatever reason… got a good feeling about this one tho - a dense city focused on stealth, story, blending in and traversing the rooftops maaaaan
You know someone in a suit said "hey let's make a 7min voiceover trailer that over-explain everything" rather than listening to the creative ideas from the artist of the studio.
One of those that I definitely want to have on my Christmas list. Absolutely looking forward to this game. Hope it will have updates soon. On all current and newer consoles. And pc.
Ubi Bordeaux must be real proud of this, hell might be the most promo i seen for such features. Cant wait to see how the game turns out, pre ordered the deluxe😆🖖
Same here. I agree that Odyssey and Valhalla were super bloated but this does seem "short" by comparison. I'm still gonna play it and enjoy every minute of it but this was also my only concern as well.
Yeah , but I am not happy with Hidden blade kills I still prefer Hidden blade kills of Unity style instead of valhalla style ( jump and kill) Quick hidden blade kills always makes gameplay exciting Shame that was not implemented 😢
This is a game that i will definitely play but i do have a concern about the assassinate animation because it looks slow unlike the older games but still a great game.
There's multiple animations for each type of assassination, some are slower than others. For example, when you're crouched behind a guard, the animation is very quick. That's because the devs know you'll probably move somewhere else right after assassinating someone to avoid getting spotted. High profile assassinations are slow but efficient, especially the ones in combat after you stun a guard with a smoke bomb. Although the game probably won't be perfect, it still is a step in the right direction.
I also noticed that in the smoke bomb section of the video and it worried me, but then I saw that Basim had sprinted over to his targets, so perhaps those were high profile assassinations which do take longer and are more noticeable. I hope that low profile ones are quick.
Calling the eagle Enkido is a nice touch, Enkido being Gilgamesh friend in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, which is the earliest written literature in recorded history.
I just like that we have more emphasis on vertical parkour this time. I just hope that Ubisoft's next big game has a more revamped parkour system, a smarter and more aware A.I. that can recognize that something is amiss and stealth that uses real sight and brilliant sound design better fitting for a more authentic stealth experience.
@datutahiir8762 honestly we may but that game will not be Red sadly cause it will still be on the RPG system but I fully believe it will take the stealth system from Mirage
Mirage is looking like the amalgamation of all the positive qualities from every AC game. I haven't copped the RPG style AC games on release but I'm so tempted to buy Mirage on release because of its return to form. Still hoping Ubisoft makes a game similar to the AC formula but in a Japanese setting. It doesn't need to be involved with the AC timeline or lore. Just hoping to get a game similar to Ghost of Tsushima cause I don't have a Playstation
@kbdc Well do I have news for you they are making an Assassin's Creed game set in Japan. It will however be built by the Valhalla system. But I fully believe it will have the Mirage stealth system
@@mitchellrose2645currently it is in the val system but if this game goes critically and sales wise really well then it could mean a shift back to this style. But ofc, if it doesnt do as well then they’d fs stick w the val system
Well they used the same engine which was used to make Valhalla and Odyssey. But the parkour in this game would be far better than those games at least...
@@ANI_Editz612 I know but I still expected atleast a bit more. Atleast side hops like in the first AC games, that alone would make the parkour much better
The teleportation is a horrible idea, executed horribly by Ubisoft. I thought the game was supposed to be about movement/parkour, combat and assassinations? It seems odd that they'd just be like, "actually screw it, don't try to reach your target on foot, moving through crowds, parkouring etc. , just teleport!"
You still need to make stealth assassinations to get it, I don’t like that it’s here, but atleast it encourages stealth, while also being totally skippable
I know what you're saying and I want to agree but don't you fear that they've spent time developing that part of the game and thinks like faster/sleeker animations have just been ignored. With a mechanic like teleportation, despite you claiming it's not a core mechanic, that doesn't necessarily mean the game won't have aspects built around it. I won't be using it, and it's a huge shame it exists.@@GoblinSlayerZach
Your eyes not wrong. It was said that this man Basim Ibn Ishaq of Iraq is so fast having a speed at roughly 8.3 million mph (13.5 million km/h ) or Mach 10,925 when he using his Hasyasyiun Focus.
This is truly looking promising I have not bought an ax game since unity The minute it went rpg I truly abandoned the series This is gonna make me go back Good job ubi
Nah Ubisoft It's Not The Root, Root Means Everything Not Only Going Past & Give A Hoodie Outlook With Hidden Blade......This Game Still Valhalla, Odyssey Because Of Your Non Dynamic & So Coloured Environmental Engine, Look At Other Game Company How They Doing Great Day by Day With Great Engine Mechanics, While You Are The King of Game Industry, Your Every Game Was Perfect & Lots of Fun With Unforgettable Memories But Now I Look At Ubisoft's Game Just No Development Especially AC & That Boring Engine From AC Origins......Just See How A Non Magical Game With Sword Be So Fast Like Mirage, We Love Freedom & That Amazing Gameplay From AC3 Black Flag Not Only Stealth But Has Everything In It, Also That Mind Blowing Superb Realistic Combo Like AC 2 Brotherhood Revelations
Will this come with new game plus or is it a no go like last time and I really dont like that assassin's focus thing it just ruins the feeling of being a traditional assassin but overall I am loving the direction its going with everything else
I wish this game would pick up on some elements from MGSV, such as the AI. Guards noticing that one of their patrols are missing or haven't completed their shift. Or guards adapting to the 'Hidden One' by fortifying their defences. I just wish the AI improved a bit cause it looks the same as past games
To be honest that Animus glitch where Basim chain assassinates enemies is quite a clever way of implementing some abilities. I was skeptical at first but now I think it looks cool!
I'm looking forward to the game. After playing Origins with the bird, I've decided in later games (and replays) that using the bird feels too much like a "cheat mode" (even though it's not at all cheating) and reduced the fun of stealth gameplay so I stopped using it except when completely stuck in finding an objective. I will still mark enemies by aiming at them, though just not with the eagle.
I get some folks don’t like the chain assassin move because it looks like Basim is teleporting, but when you think about it, a skilled assassin’s moments could be so quick and precise that the human eye couldn’t process it as “Human” a *Mirage* if you will.
They have changed the animation to make it seem more like an Animus hack/glitch. It looks different now compared to when they first introduced it. I'll give Ubisoft credit where credit is due. They listened to the complaints...
Ubisoft: "We're going back to the roots of Assassin's Creed" *Basim strait up teleports to 4 targets and assassinates them all while time is literally stopped
I wish they just used a slow-motion animation for that. But if you really hate it that much, you can always choose not to do it, doesn't seem like the game forces you to use it.
I wrote comment on it above...that Assassins Focus feature seems extremely lazy and already seen thing. They could'ev added something more thrilling, cinematic for njinja-fighter type gamestyle like using things from surroundings to your fighting adventage like for example Sleeping Dogs does (smeshing enemys into bazar stands, throwing oil vases on enemys to light them on fire, stabbing, pusing them with bottles, woodplanks or such objects lying around outside and inside enclosed places etc.) or to do that with cinematic enviroment fighting while parkouring. Make us feel more like adroit one man army njinja...then just teleporting and killing enemys.
This is a nice video because I am not in the loop or too experienced with AC since I've played a long time ago. Can't wait to try out the stealth and parkour when it releases.
There's a delay between pressing the assasination prompt and the animation starting. It's also, in general way too slow, and there is no double assasination. The "chain assasination" suffers the same issue as the regular one in mirage, it being too slow. It ruins the flow of stealth.
At first I was sceptical about the Assassin Focus ability, especially because of its economic (some say cheap) animation, but after seeing it in action in the ac mirage preview videos, it has struck me that not having transition animations actually increase the cases in which you can use this ability manifold. Many things are possible if you leave a few things to the imagination 😍
I hate it because it’s unrealistic and looks mad goofy, like they said they wanted to go back to the roots but do some goofy op move that I’m not going to use
The only thing that still bugs me about this game is how weird the combat looks. It's still like origins and Valhalla. I like the old combat better, like in unity
I agree but since combat isn’t a focus, it’s not bothering me too much. I doubt I’m going to be getting into it much aside from the mercenary you fight at max notoriety and potential story-scripted combat settings
I still have no idea what "going back to the roots" means for this game. The stealth, the assassination, the tools, the parkour, the abilities you have, they're all straight out of Valhalla, Odyssey and Origins. You'll still be crouching in grass, using a drone eagle to mark enemies, and now you'll also have the mark & execute ability from Blacklist. Going back to the roots here is just a marketing term, not a design philosophy. I appreciate that Baghdad will support more parkour than the RPG games, but this ain't it for me. Hoping the next one actually has the balls to take the series further instead of this half measure bullshit.
It's just a marketing phrase they are using to hook people who were wanting the series to return to its roots. When in reality they are just putting some elements back in that were missing from the RPG games, while still keeping things from the RPG games.
@@RodZombie the sad part is that they weren't even missing from Valhalla, the most shat on game among the RPG series. It had social stealth, it had tools like smoke bombs, it had one-hit assassination, pick pocketing, eaves dropping and so much more. It's not a return to form. Like you said, it's just a marketing line. A hook that everyone is desperately hanging on while fantasizing the game to be more than it actually is.
@@ayyyyomanTrue, the only refreshing thing is the environment and I suppose the more linear structure. The story is the most intriguing part for me as they actually left it on an interesting spot at the end of Valhalla
@@Rondog. yeah, that I can actually agree with. The main plot in Valhalla left off somewhere cool and the prospect of having Basim be the new protagonist of the series seems great.
@@theragers9718 dont get me wrong, all that you mentioned its good, but bro look at that combat, it looks just like Valhalla, Bazim looks heavy, he even walks like Eivor, compare it yourself bro, and you'll see it.

You still need to make stealth assassinations to get it, I don’t like that it’s here, but atleast it encourages stealth, while also being totally skippable
I know what you're saying and I want to agree but don't you fear that they've spent time developing that part of the game and thinks like faster/sleeker animations have just been ignored. With a mechanic like teleportation, despite you claiming it's not a core mechanic, that doesn't necessarily mean the game won't have aspects built around it.
I won't be using it, and it's a huge shame it exists.@@GoblinSlayerZach
a good step in the right direction
Assassins focus is like flash ,quicksilver type of thing 😁
Your eyes not wrong. It was said that this man Basim Ibn Ishaq of Iraq is so fast having a speed at roughly 8.3 million mph (13.5 million km/h ) or Mach 10,925 when he using his Hasyasyiun Focus.
We work in the Dark to serve the Light. We are assassins!
Assassin's focus would be look more cool and realistic if it worked like multi fear takedown in batman Arkham knight
yeah not having a cool animation and just a tp to the enemy really brings it down
This is truly looking promising I have not bought an ax game since unity
The minute it went rpg I truly abandoned the series
This is gonna make me go back
Good job ubi
Us assassins know, we don’t sleep. We just wait in the shadows till our target is right below our haybale.
Tell that to Ubisoft lol
All of these heavily promoted features are EXACTLY what every Assassins Creed game has had since the franchise started
Nah Ubisoft It's Not The Root, Root Means Everything Not Only Going Past & Give A Hoodie Outlook With Hidden Blade......This Game Still Valhalla, Odyssey Because Of Your Non Dynamic & So Coloured Environmental Engine, Look At Other Game Company How They Doing Great Day by Day With Great Engine Mechanics, While You Are The King of Game Industry, Your Every Game Was Perfect & Lots of Fun With Unforgettable Memories But Now I Look At Ubisoft's Game Just No Development Especially AC & That Boring Engine From AC Origins......Just See How A Non Magical Game With Sword Be So Fast Like Mirage, We Love Freedom & That Amazing Gameplay From AC3 Black Flag Not Only Stealth But Has Everything In It, Also That Mind Blowing Superb Realistic Combo Like AC 2 Brotherhood Revelations
Will this come with new game plus or is it a no go like last time and I really dont like that assassin's focus thing it just ruins the feeling of being a traditional assassin but overall I am loving the direction its going with everything else
This all i wanted. A way to play. Like an assassin's
I really hope you guys used the original voice of Basim from Valhalla, that voice was so beautiful and suited Basim perfectly!!
They did not.
I can't wait to get my hands on this game
Finally we have confirmation of mid-air assassin focus! Now I may actually use the ability for movement depth.
I hope this game has unity like multiplayer
it dose nor have multiplayer
@@sayyadahmed9452 why? People liked Unity. It was just slightly ahead of it's time
Multiplayer really didn't succeed because of the bad launch that's why they ripped the idea would have been cool.@@Hybred
I wish this game would pick up on some elements from MGSV, such as the AI.
Guards noticing that one of their patrols are missing or haven't completed their shift. Or guards adapting to the 'Hidden One' by fortifying their defences.
I just wish the AI improved a bit cause it looks the same as past games
Finally "Real" stealth is back.❤
exactly'
Ubisoft is honestly god awful at making stealth for their games.
To be honest that Animus glitch where Basim chain assassinates enemies is quite a clever way of implementing some abilities. I was skeptical at first but now I think it looks cool!
A PURE ASSASSIN'S CREED GAME WITH AN ACTUAL MEANING, LIKE OLD DAYS!
Don't be fooled, this ain't it
@@fiel81it is tho
@@acfan2135 ubisoft's marketing is notoriously bullshit, just go back to valhalla's marketing and you'll see what I mean
It's like Origins without free roam. Hope you all will be happy now.
@@sinko9331 Origins is good. It's one of the best games in the series. It's far better than the other two.
I'm looking forward to the game.
After playing Origins with the bird, I've decided in later games (and replays) that using the bird feels too much like a "cheat mode" (even though it's not at all cheating) and reduced the fun of stealth gameplay so I stopped using it except when completely stuck in finding an objective. I will still mark enemies by aiming at them, though just not with the eagle.
I get some folks don’t like the chain assassin move because it looks like Basim is teleporting, but when you think about it, a skilled assassin’s moments could be so quick and precise that the human eye couldn’t process it as “Human” a *Mirage* if you will.
yeah i think its pretty cool
Yeah because if ppl remember he's an reincarnation of an Isu
seems like a good way to balance the good old stuff with some new things that came out in the previous games
I’m hyped for this game and can’t wait to play it 😊
I’m stoked to play this game on my channel!
I cant wait to get my hands on this game
Eagerly waiting
Can’t wait!
3:27 They could have made this like 'FEAR' in Batman Arkham Knight, but of course they made him have teleportation superpowers instead
Bro. He can even do it in the air. He can change directions instantly, which is, of course, completely impossible IRL.
Totally agreed with you.Or doing takedown like ghost of tsushima but no ubisoft said we are going back to our root by introducing teleport superpower😂
They have changed the animation to make it seem more like an Animus hack/glitch. It looks different now compared to when they first introduced it. I'll give Ubisoft credit where credit is due. They listened to the complaints...
Bro fr i like the way you think. Giving assassins a fear ability.
@@stateyournameplease Yes! I'm glad they changed it.
This is gonna be good. I’m playing in AC1 color mode
Please remove the chain assassination teleport ability.
Nobody asked for that we want historical focused AC
Assassin's creed was never realistic OR historicaly accurate
Where the apple of Eden or Isu artifact historically accurate🤔 assassin's Creed was never realistically accurate
Can't wait! ❤
Ubisoft: "We're going back to the roots of Assassin's Creed"
*Basim strait up teleports to 4 targets and assassinates them all while time is literally stopped
I mean, Arno had the disguise ability and evie had the invisibility ability and eagle vision is also very magical, and those games were the ROOTS.
I wish they just used a slow-motion animation for that. But if you really hate it that much, you can always choose not to do it, doesn't seem like the game forces you to use it.
Boohoo quit whining
Yall will cry over everything!
I wrote comment on it above...that Assassins Focus feature seems extremely lazy and already seen thing. They could'ev added something more thrilling, cinematic for njinja-fighter type gamestyle like using things from surroundings to your fighting adventage like for example Sleeping Dogs does (smeshing enemys into bazar stands, throwing oil vases on enemys to light them on fire, stabbing, pusing them with bottles, woodplanks or such objects lying around outside and inside enclosed places etc.) or to do that with cinematic enviroment fighting while parkouring. Make us feel more like adroit one man army njinja...then just teleporting and killing enemys.
Of all the tools, I'm mostly excited for the torch.
This is a nice video because I am not in the loop or too experienced with AC since I've played a long time ago. Can't wait to try out the stealth and parkour when it releases.
Assassination is varied, parkour is simple compared especially with Unity or even Black Flag
Hexe when? Splinter Cell when? I demand the return of Sam Fisher.
There's a delay between pressing the assasination prompt and the animation starting. It's also, in general way too slow, and there is no double assasination. The "chain assasination" suffers the same issue as the regular one in mirage, it being too slow. It ruins the flow of stealth.
Does we got double assasinations back?
At first I was sceptical about the Assassin Focus ability, especially because of its economic (some say cheap) animation, but after seeing it in action in the ac mirage preview videos, it has struck me that not having transition animations actually increase the cases in which you can use this ability manifold. Many things are possible if you leave a few things to the imagination 😍
I hate it because it’s unrealistic and looks mad goofy, like they said they wanted to go back to the roots but do some goofy op move that I’m not going to use
Tool upgrades that allow you to tailor tools to your playstyle is a good choice. Thanks Ubisoft
The only thing that still bugs me about this game is how weird the combat looks. It's still like origins and Valhalla. I like the old combat better, like in unity
It was better in old games, but no, Ubisoft continue to make bad combat
@@Arycuak you like pressing a button and having the game doing all of the work for you?
@@shalomproduction6367That's not how Unity combat worked
I agree but since combat isn’t a focus, it’s not bothering me too much. I doubt I’m going to be getting into it much aside from the mercenary you fight at max notoriety and potential story-scripted combat settings
@@obsidianwarrior5580 you're right unity was worse
"You're a man with a true skill... an example we should all follow. I can't think of a finer shinobi than you!"

I still have no idea what "going back to the roots" means for this game. The stealth, the assassination, the tools, the parkour, the abilities you have, they're all straight out of Valhalla, Odyssey and Origins. You'll still be crouching in grass, using a drone eagle to mark enemies, and now you'll also have the mark & execute ability from Blacklist.
Going back to the roots here is just a marketing term, not a design philosophy. I appreciate that Baghdad will support more parkour than the RPG games, but this ain't it for me. Hoping the next one actually has the balls to take the series further instead of this half measure bullshit.
It's just a marketing phrase they are using to hook people who were wanting the series to return to its roots. When in reality they are just putting some elements back in that were missing from the RPG games, while still keeping things from the RPG games.
@@RodZombie the sad part is that they weren't even missing from Valhalla, the most shat on game among the RPG series. It had social stealth, it had tools like smoke bombs, it had one-hit assassination, pick pocketing, eaves dropping and so much more.
It's not a return to form. Like you said, it's just a marketing line. A hook that everyone is desperately hanging on while fantasizing the game to be more than it actually is.
@@ayyyyomanTrue, the only refreshing thing is the environment and I suppose the more linear structure. The story is the most intriguing part for me as they actually left it on an interesting spot at the end of Valhalla
@@Rondog. yeah, that I can actually agree with. The main plot in Valhalla left off somewhere cool and the prospect of having Basim be the new protagonist of the series seems great.
Yessir hoping the pre download happens asap 💯so hyped for this game
This game looks pretty
Throwable bombs and throwing knives are so perfect in this game
Wow the stealth looks good. Very excited t play this game
ubisoft has my trust again, thanks for this
WAIT!!!!
@@mr.kwamid-86_43 no need to my guy this is assassins creed you can clearly see that
Old AC fans gonna have one hell of a time enjoying mirage, myself included.
Mmm not sure about that
@@samuelesquivel6202
No more RPG, no more enemy levels.
What you’re not sure about ?
@@theragers9718 dont get me wrong, all that you mentioned its good, but bro look at that combat, it looks just like Valhalla, Bazim looks heavy, he even walks like Eivor, compare it yourself bro, and you'll see it.
@@samuelesquivel6202 dont knock it till you try it
Chill out, we haven't play the game yet
6:26 omg, bench assassination back! All stealth stuff looks great. That's the reason I gonna play
