Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Ubisoft’s latest entry in the franchise, transports players back to the hustle and bustle of 9th-century Baghdad. Critics have praised the return to the series’ roots with its focus on parkour, hidden blade assassinations, and a smaller, more focused approach compared to the bloated Valhalla in 2020.
The newest Assassin’s Creed title may have flown under the radar among the other huge launches in the second half of 2023. However, one aspect of Mirage‘s historical accuracy deserves due credit.
A Medley Of Languages Was Key To Simulating Baghdad The busy streets of Baghdad in Assassin’s Creed Mirage have period-accurate linguistic diversity.
In an interview with Game Rant, Ubisoft historian Raphael Weyland highlighted the importance of portraying Baghdad’s multicultural identity in Mirage:
Yes, I really, really wanted to make sure that the city felt like it was inhabited by multiple people, people from multiple backgrounds.
