Additional Conten
Three-year wait for an Assassin’s Creed game or not, since Mirage will change up the series' modern formula so much, it only makes sense that some of you might be a little wary of spending too much on it. If you’re eager to play Mirage but you’re not all the way convinced it’s going to be an amazing game, then perhaps opting for the Standard Edition is the best option for you. It still comes with pre-order bonuses if you make the call before release day, and it’s $20 cheaper than the industry standard for triple-A titles.
If you do have a little more confidence in Mirage, then it might be worth picking up the Deluxe Edition. The same pre-order bonuses as the Standard Edition with a few added extras for the additional $10 you have to pay.

For an extra $10, but still $10 cheaper than most triple-A titles in 2023, you’re able to get the Deluxe Edition of Mirage. Everything you get with the Standard Edition, including the pre-order bonuses, plus a few added extras. APrince Of Persia-inspired outfit, the perfect way tocelebrate the launch of The Lost Crowna few months early, plus other goodies including a digital art book and the soundtrack for Mirage. Plenty to dive into outside the game itself when it all arrives in October.
If you’re all in on Mirage and convinced this is the game for you, then there’s a Collector’s Case you can buy with loads of extra stuff to celebrate the series' return. Best of all, it’s quite a bit cheaper than collector’s editions usually are.
For some of you, a game needs nothing more than the Assassin’s Creed name attached to it and you know it’s going to be for you. If you plan on blocking out a chunk of your October, which is shaping up to be a wildly busy month for video game aficionados, for Mirage, then you may well want to shell out for the Collector’s Case. As is customary when it comes to this sort of thing, the Mirage Collector’s Case comes with a pretty impressive statue, naturally depicting the game’s lead character, Basim. There’s loads of other stuff in there too and at $150, it’s a lot less than video game collector’s editions tend to be. Plus, if you have a statue as a constant reminder you’ll be less likely to get distracted bySonic SuperstarsandSpider-Man 2.
FAQ
What Will Assassin’s Creed Mirage Be About?
Mirage takes place 20 years before the events of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It follows Basim’s journey, starting as a street thief before eventually becoming an assassin and a member of the brotherhood, a path that ultimately leads to the events of Valhalla.
Will Assassin Creed Mirage Be Bigger Than Valhalla?
No, Mirage will be nowhere close to the size of Valhalla in any way, hence the reduced price. Mirage will be a smaller, more linear game than other modern Assassin’s Creed titles. Its map size has been likened to that of Unity’s Paris or Constantinople in Revelations.
Do I Need To Play Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Before I Play Mirage?
You’d think that since Mirage will effectively be a Valhalla prequel, it would make sense that you’ve played the prior game in the series before you pick up the next one. However,Ubisofthas already made it clear Basim’s is a standalone adventure that doesn’t require prior knowledge, so new players will be able to enjoy it.
