Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the latest installment in Ubisoft’s long-standing stealth franchise, and it’s got fans buzzing with questions. One of the most frequent inquiries is about the AC Mirage setting. Where is it set, and when is the time period?

Use this guide to know everything you need to know about Assassin’s Creed Mirage!

When is the Time Period Assassin’s Creed Mirage Takes Place?

Assassin’s Creed Mirage transports players to the city of Baghdad during the years 870-860 BCE. This period follows the events of the Anarchy of Samarra, adding a rich historical context to Mirage. The city itself is divided into four distinct districts, each offering unique challenges and opportunities for exploration.

While the primary setting is Baghdad, the game also includes Alamut, the fortress headquarters of the Hidden Ones. This location serves as a secondary base of operations, where players can plan their next moves and interact with key characters.

Who is the Protagonist in Assassin’s Creed Mirage?

AC Mirate centers on a young Assassin named Basim Ibn Ishaq. Players familiar with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will recognize Basim as a character from that game. In Mirage, you’ll control Basim in his youth, starting his journey as a thief before being recruited by the Hidden Ones.

The series promises to return to the franchise’s roots, focusing more on stealth-based gameplay. A new and improved detection system has been added to add extra elements to stealth encounters. Ubisoft has also confirmed the return of some classic parkour moves, making the gameplay feel more like the original Assassin’s Creed titles.
