Is Assassin’s Creed Mirage open world?

With Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the franchise revisits its origins. But is there an open world awaiting explorers? Find out in our detailed coverage.

Launching in 2007, Assassin’s Creed quickly established a reputation for its stealthy gameplay, agile parkour, and historically-rich locales. Its ability to transport players across time has made it a staple in gaming.

Naturally, having been out for just over 15 years, the style and design of Assassin’s Creed changed dramatically, focusing on vast open-world exploration, ship combat, stealth, and all-out wars.

Is Assassin’s Creed Mirage open world?

Ubisoft

Yes, as confirmed in an interview, Assassin’s Creed will be an open-world game, allowing players the chance to explore Baghdad in their own time.

However, the vastness of that map is a little smaller than the likes of Valhalla or Odyssey. As explained in our Assassin’s Creed Mirage preview, we highlighted that: “Unlike the vast open worlds of previous games, Mirage offers a tighter experience that’s more akin to Assassin’s Creed 1, 2, Unity, and Syndicate than more recent entries.”

So, while you’ll certainly be able to parkour across the city, those boundaries will be much smaller than the likes of Greece or Egypt.

That’s everything you need to know about whether Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be an open-world game or whether it’ll follow its original roots. For more content on the game, check out our guides below:
