The allegedly lower ending of Murderer’s Creed Mirage, which was set to make the collection’ already extremely difficult meta story much more complicated, might be nothing to fret about in line with Ubisoft.
As reported by Eurogamer, a Reddit “Ask Me Something” from Mirage artwork director Jean-Luc Sala noticed one fan basically ask if lower content material discovered by means of a datamine was canon to the bigger Murderer’s Creed story.
“All we will say is that what’s not in your playthrough doesn’t exist,” Sala stated, suggesting the lower content material was lower for a purpose and due to this fact bears no affect on the Murderer’s Creed tales which have truly been launched. He adopted up with a winking emoji, nonetheless, maybe simply to depart followers somewhat on edge.
The lower content material was considered a tease for Murderer’s Creed Hexe, the upcoming spooky-looking entry seemingly related to witchcraft. Mirage, like most video games within the franchise, options minor connections to the trendy day meta story, however this lower tease pointed to the distant future for the primary time.
Gamers might decide up on a dialog that takes place between two Animus Operators (the Animus being the machine that sends folks’s consciousness again in time), by which they seek advice from the twenty first century as “historic historical past.”
What makes the cutscene much more difficult, and somewhat eerie, is that it exhibits Mirage protagonist Basim’s eagle flying from what seems to be Mirage’s regular map into the desert to a technological tower of some variety, suggesting the sport is probably not set in ninth century Baghdad as prompt.
However this “doesn’t exist” in line with Sala, because it did not truly make it into the ultimate recreation, so followers will simply have to attend and see if Murderer’s Creed goes in that course down the road.
There are alternatives for Ubisoft to take the franchise in a unique course, after all, as two upcoming entries — the aforementioned Hexe and a feudal Japan-set Murderer’s Creed Pink — are already confirmed to be in growth, and can each be sheltered beneath the Murderer’s Creed Infinity umbrella, a brand new platform performing as a collection hub.
Particulars are nonetheless slim about all three of those tasks, however one worker listed the extremely anticipated Pink as a 2024 recreation.
Murderer’s Creed Mirage launched October 5, 2023 as a smaller-scale entry that returns gamers to the collection’ roots by means of slower-paced, stealth-based gameplay, veering away from the role-playing recreation foundations of the current trilogy of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
In our 8/10 evaluation, IGN stated: “Murderer’s Creed Mirage’s back-to-basics method is a profitable first step in returning to the stealthy fashion that launched this collection.”
