Assassin’s Creed Mirage hands-on — Back to the past

I’m one of those Assassin’s Creed fans that enjoyed the older games in the series, back when it was more about, you know, assassinating. I don’t have the RPG trappings of recent games like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but I preferred the more focused, stealthy approach of the original Assassin’s Creed and its first few sequels.

That’s why Assassin’s Creed Mirage has my attention. It comes out on October 5 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. I had a chance to play Mirage in a recent remote preview session, meaning I played on PC via cloud streaming. Although I’m usually skeptical of such technology, my demo ran smoothly.
