Caption: Assassin’s Creed’s next game Mirage takes players to Baghdad. Rock Paper shotgun report that the series will continue with its action and history themes with the next installment educating players on the ninth-century setting of Baghdad. The feature actually does promise to impart real knowledge about the real-life inspiration for History of Baghdad’s setting. Making it a little more serious than the usual sci-fi bonkersness that the long-running series has often favoured. A trailer for Assassin’s Creed Mirage is already online for those curious to know more. Historical sites across the city, and discoveries ranging from the man on the street to the high up official will all be packed into the update by means of art, science and economy. Mirage’s devs include Middle-East expert and historian Dr. Raphaël Weyland has shared: “From the start we had an ambitious premise: to help the players better understand the world of ninth-century Baghdad, a world that is seldom represented in popular culture.” Thierry Noël, Ubisoft’s head of humanities and inspiration department, added that the feature “will present a research-based perspective over 9th century Baghdad and the Abbasid Empire, tackling pre-conceptions and clichés often associated with them.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
