assassin's creed mirage

We welcome back our friends Jasmin and Isa to discuss Assassin's Creed Mirage, a sprawling action-adventure game from Ubisoft set in 9th Century Abbasid Baghdad, that tells the story of Basim Ibn Ishaq (Lee Majdoub) and his mentor Roshan (Shohreh Aghdashloo). We go into detail on why this game is the the best Iraqi, Arab, Persian, Muslim, and SWANA representation we've ever seen in gaming, and why the story and setting resonated with us so much. Beware of spoilers later the conversation. We also discuss the tragic news of the unfolding Israeli genocide in Gaza, and what we can keep doing to support Palestinians and work towards a Free Palestine.

Full Spoilers for the ending of Assassin's Creed Mirage from 1:01:00-1:17:31

Come join us at our panel at Awesome Con in Washington, DC, 'The State of SWANA Representation in Pop Culture,' March 9th, 2:30-3:15 at the Walter E. Convention Center!

Today on the 5: I finished Assassin's Creed Mirage a few days ago, playing through all of the main story and all of the side content (as far as I know). Aside from one small narrative caveat, I would recommend this game to anyone who preferred the earlier entries in the series.

Bienvenue sur le test d'Assassin's Creed Mirage, le dernier-né de la célèbre licence d'Ubisoft.

A l'origine prévu comme un simple DLC, les équipes d'Ubisoft Bordeaux en ont finalement décidé autrement en nous offrant un épisode à part entière qui tente de revenir sur les bases de ce qui a fait le succès de la série : l'action, l'infiltration et le parkour. 

Nous allons voir en moins de 15 minutes si ce retour aux origines est réussi. Et aussi on se posera la question de ce que peut signifier un tel changement de direction pour la suite de la licence Assassin's Creed ? 

Test fait sur PS5 & Steam Deck  🎮

En este episodio hablamos sobre Assassin's Creed Mirage, Ubisoft volvió a llevar el juego a sus raíces y es una lástima que hasta la fecha no se esté hablando mucho de este gran título. Su lanzamiento fue opacado por otros títulos que para ese entonces eran de los más esperados. Dale PLAY!

Today on the 5: Ubisoft released a new gameplay trailer for Assassin's Creed Mirage as part of the Xbox showcase. I was already looking forward to this game, and the 7 or so minutes shown off in this trailer make me seriously optimistic it will be the promised return to the series roots.

Today on the 5: Sony recently held a showcase to preview a variety of upcoming games for their console. Many people went crazy for Spider-Man 2, but for me the most exciting trailer was for Assassin's Creed Mirage. It feels like the series may be performing a long overdue reset.
