Fans of Ubisoft’s iconic stealth series can now immerse themselves in the captivating world of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage without spending a dime. For a limited period, enthusiasts can seize the opportunity to try out the latest addition to the franchise with a complimentary trial of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, granting them a two-hour window to delve into the gripping narrative.
Following the epic tale of Viking conquest in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, the 2023 release of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage marked a significant shift in tone for the series. This installment promised a return to the core essence of the franchise after a series of sprawling open-world RPG adventures, prioritizing a more linear storyline and gameplay that emphasizes stealth and parkour over the combat-centric action of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla. Set against the backdrop of 9th-century Baghdad, the narrative traces Basim’s evolution from a humble street thief to a formidable assassin. Moreover, the game has recently undergone a substantial update aimed at ironing out any remaining technical issues, making it an ideal moment for newcomers to experience the game.
Between April 16 and April 30, players can step into the shoes of an assassin with the new two-hour trial of Assassin’s Creed: Mirage. Progress made during the trial period will seamlessly carry over to the full version, ensuring a seamless continuation of the enthralling story for those who decide to purchase the game. Additionally, all players, whether they own the game or not, will receive an exclusive Eivor skin for Basim, bridging the connection between the two games. Those who find themselves captivated by the trial can select from various editions of Assassin's Creed: Mirage, including a deluxe package with bonus content like a digital artbook, soundtrack, and unique Prince of Persia-inspired elements.
The Exciting Future of Assassin's Creed
Ubisoft has teased the forthcoming chapters of the Assassin’s Creed saga, hinting at thrilling adventures on the horizon. The next major installment, referred to as Assassin’s Creed Red, is slated to transport players to ancient Japan, possibly making its debut in late 2024.

Another intriguing addition is Assassin's Creed Hexe, rumored to unfold during the witch hunts of 16th-century Germany.
Additionally, Ubisoft has unveiled Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a dynamic live-service platform that will serve as the central hub for all future Assassin’s Creed titles, starting with Assassin’s Creed Red.
