![]() ![]() These early assassins were experts at free-running, presumably passed down some form of Eagle Vision to their descendants, and wore glowing pink bodysuits (or possibly, uh, transparent ones). (Told you we were going back to the very beginning.) As revealed by “The Truth” – a secret memory found by solving puzzles attached to glowing symbols hidden throughout the Animus simulation – the first “assassins” were a pair of human-Isu hybrids named Adam and Eve, who stole a mind-controlling artifact known as an Apple of Eden and used it to spark a rebellion against the Isu. However, Ezio Auditore’s first adventure doesn’t just explore an alternate history where the Levantine Assassins spread their influence across Europe – it also reveals the origins of humanity as the enslaved creations of the First Civilization, also known as the Isu. “Everyone knows Assassin’s Creed II, the game that redefined not only its series but open-world games as we know them, was set during the Italian Renaissance! And is also a weird place to begin this list!” And yes, that’s all true, even the “weird” part, which - rude. There’s a lot of history to dig into here, so let’s start at the beginning. This full-circle approach gives us the opportunity to reflect on how the concept of the Assassin Brotherhood has changed since the series’ inception in 2007, from its earliest origins to its most powerful highs and shattered lows. Like in the very first game, players will experience the story of an initiate in the Assassin Brotherhood (still known as the Hidden Ones at this point), taking on contracts, working out of hidden bureaus, and doing their best to stay stealthy and keep a low profile amongst the populace. In bringing Assassin’s Creed back to the medieval Middle East, Assassin’s Creed Mirage represents a modernized take on the series’ roots. Playing as Basim, a street thief who grows into a master assassin, players can explore ninth-century Baghdad and unravel a conspiracy coiling around the heart of the Abbasid Caliphate. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC via the Ubisoft Store and Epic Games Store, and Amazon Luna, and is included with a Ubisoft+ subscription. ![]()
