Ubisoft is set to expand the horizons of the Assassin’s Creed franchise by launching Assassin’s Creed Mirage on iPhone and iPad platforms, marking a significant leap towards bringing console-quality gaming experiences to mobile devices. Officially releasing on June 6th, the latest entry in the Assassin’s Creed series will be available on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max and iPad Air and Pro models equipped with an M1 chip or later. This move is a crucial part of Apple’s ambitious drive to enhance mobile gaming by providing native support for high-caliber game titles previously exclusive to consoles and PC.
Previously launched on traditional gaming platforms last year, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has received considerable praise and is notably the first mainline game in the series to be playable natively on Apple’s mobile devices. This initiative aligns with Apple’s larger gaming vision, showcasing its commitment to elevating the gaming experience across its ecosystem. Assassin’s Creed Mirage will join other heavyweight titles like Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village, and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, further solidifying the iPhone and iPad as serious platforms for gaming enthusiasts.
While Ubisoft has introduced Assassin’s Creed Mirage to mobile audiences in Canada and globally, there’s been no confirmation regarding a Mac version, leaving room for speculation about its future availability. However, the possibility remains that Ubisoft might announce something related either at the upcoming iPad event or the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, keeping hopes alive for Mac users.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage offers players a “back to basics” approach, reminiscent of the original game’s charm, and is set as a prequel to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It narrates the journey of Basim, a young thief on his path to becoming an assassin. Ubisoft Bordeaux, in collaboration with Ubisoft Montreal, has crafted Mirage to focus on a more cohesive and enriched gameplay experience, distancing itself from the expansive 100-hour-long escapades seen in recent entries like Odyssey and Valhalla.
Gamers in Canada eager to dive into the historical adventures of Assassin’s Creed Mirage can pre-order the game on the App Store. Ubisoft is providing a unique opportunity to experience the game for 90 minutes free of charge before prompting a purchase decision of $69.99 to unlock the full game. Moreover, Assassin’s Creed Mirage supports Apple’s Universal Purchase program, offering players access to both iPhone and iPad versions of the game with a single purchase, ensuring that users can enjoy their adventure on multiple devices without incurring additional costs.
With Assassin’s Creed Mirage making its way to iPhone and iPad, Ubisoft is set to redefine mobile gaming by blending the rich storytelling and immersive gameplay of Assassin’s Creed with the versatility and accessibility of Apple’s devices, promising an exquisite gaming adventure for fans and newcomers alike.
