Assassin’s Creed Mirage showed off a brand new story trailer at Ubisoft Forward as well as a deep dive into the gameplay. Going back to its roots, it will feature much lesser RPG elements and more focus on classic stealth-based gameplay. The gameplay showed the new parkour features, including a new mechanic of pillar traversing. Certain utility weapons such as smoke bombs, blow darts, and the legendary hidden blade were shown. The swordplay in the game looks fluid and seamless as dispatching enemies isn’t a task anymore. While the story trailer shows Basim’s induction into the creed as well as his origins. Basim even gets his own eagle, called Enkidu.
