Assassin’s Creed Mirage has just suffered a massive leak by the Japanese retailers, with its cover art, high-quality images, and release date seemingly slipping into the web ahead of the official Ubisoft showcase event. The new spottings have come as a surprise to the community, bringing positive news to the anticipated bunch of veteran Assassin’s Creed fans waiting to experience the wistful formula honed over its many titles.

The glad tidings were posted by the @Renka_schedule Twitter account, known for posting news about upcoming games. As per the new retail info, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is reportedly coming out on October 12, 2023, which is closer to the lingering rumors than everyone expected. It seems like the title has not been pushed further with an official delay if the new findings are to be believed.

Several high-quality images and cover art have also been posted by Amazon Japan and other retail stores, unveiling the beauty of Assassin’s Creed Mirage in all its glory. The cover art has been featured in the aforesaid tweet, giving us glimpses of the new mesmerizing setting of Baghdad as Basim likely prepares to claim another life.

The Japanese retailers posting crucial information is a significant event because they are known for not posting a date with products unless it’s official news. Thus, it massively reduces the chances of the release date being a placeholder on the various online retail stores. Another facet that strengthens the rumor is that many Japanese retail sites have concurrently leaked the release date for Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

The new leak so close to the upcoming PlayStation showcase event also suggests that Assassin’s Creed Mirage could appear in the live stream in one way or another. It is possible that gameplay for Assassin’s Creed Mirage may appear in the anticipated showcase. However, we suggest taking the prospect with a grain of salt, as it is more likely for Ubisoft to unveil the upcoming entry in its own impending event.

While the new leak appears to be backed up by a string of events, we still implore the community to await an official confirmation from the giant conglomerate. Previously, a leak by one GameStop employee hinted at Assassin’s Creed Mirage releasing in August, but the recent finds suggest a later arrival. It has also been affirmed that the title will have full Arabic dubbing for all regions, complementing the riveting setting of the game. 

The new installment will also witness the return of fan-favorite weapons, such as throwing knives, but Ubisoft has not elaborated on it. Moreover, a recent rating hailed it for “Adults Only” because it apparently includes features such as real-life gambling.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an installment set in the Islamic golden age of Baghdad, and it returns to its root to utilize the olden formula devoid of any RPG elements. The title has been fabled to release this year, but only a few months remain before we can get to play the game. It is in the furnace for a slew of platforms, including PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and Series S.
