New details about the next Assassin's Creed game have surfaced, revealing that the franchise will be returning to its roots for this particular instalment.
Ubisoft's next Assassin's Creed game will be titled Mirage, according to the latest information from various industry insiders. The details were first leaked by the Assassin's Creed content creator j0nathan , who revealed the title, target release date, story info and more.
Some of the leaked info has been corroborated by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier but there's also some stuff that has been marked as not true.
Below, you'll find the full breakdown of the new info from j0nathan. We've bolded the details that have been corroborated by Schreier.

Ubisoft
The leaker further adds that Ubisoft are also preparing the remake of the first Assassin's Creed game, which will be based on Mirage's assets. More details will be officially revealed at Ubisoft Forward on September 10, 2022.
Ubisoft did confirm the date for their Forward event, saying that they will be sharing more on their franchises, so it's safe to say that this part of the leak is probably spot on.
Assassin's Creed franchise took a quite significant turn with the latest trilogy, introducing RPG elements and dialogue options, pushing the game out of the action-adventure genre, which some fans did not take lightly.
Luckily, it does seem that Ubisoft listened to the feedback and will introduce a more stealth-focused game with Mirage.
