It was just announced that AC Mirage is releasing in October. Are you excited? (I managed to get the collectors edition!)

Congrats! I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition as well <3

Sidebar: the normal version is currently 49.99 USD in PSN which gives us an idea of how long (and how big) this game would be. It's not surprising as Mirage did start off as a DLC of Valhalla so this will definitely not be as long as the recent AC games. I hope that means this would have a tighter more focused storyline and doesn't mean the narrative suffers because it's shorter. Also, as it's available for previous generations, it would probably have the same graphic options as Valhalla.

Alright, this can be a bit of a rant because, well, it's me XD

I read it's using Origin's parkour system but they've improved on it which sounds nice 'cause it's like the love-child of old and current AC games' parkour system.

The scene where Basim used that lamp-looking thing to quickly turn? Reminded me a lot of the old AC games, that's for sure. And that throwing knife kill? Definitely gave me AC1 flashbacks XD

Special assassinations are back and, not gonna lie, absolutely excited for that. That was my favorite part of the stealth mechanics of Unity, Syndicate and Valhalla's Siege of Paris DLC. I'm hoping it's quite diverse like those games and that scene where Basim uses a rope to hang his target feels like one of the special assassinations.

Also, also, also...

Chain Assassinations look so cool and if this is an unlockable skill, I know where my early skill points are going XD

As for open combat, I'm a sucker for dual wielders especially if it's the more traditional long blade/short blade combo and I love fighting styles that have a lot of twirling around so this entire sequence?

Yeeeessss, thank you. Twirl for me, dorky wolf dad. Twirl. I demand more twirling.

Btw, his Mirage fighting style is a bit different from his AC Valhalla style and I wonder if we'll know why he changed his fighting style in Mirage? (I'm betting it's connected to his Loki memories)

Baghdad looks awesome btw and, not gonna lie, I am having AC1, Revelations and Origins flashbacks.

Also, we saw another character in this trailer that is actually mentioned in AC Valhalla.

(So we know he's not gonna die which is nice XD)

Overall: I am cautiously optimistic and I hope Ubisoft doesn't fuck this up. I really hope Mirage is a success so the higher-ups in Ubisoft see that stealth-heavy AC games are worth developing.

Also, I read the Prince of Persia remake is being handled by Ubisoft Montreal (who is also handling Hexe) who handled Mirage so this might be a good indication of the kind of game the Prince of Persia remake could be.

Also, because it's me.

Hello, Hidden Blade Kink, my old-ish friend.
