That's exactly why I play assasins creed games. For the HISTORY. I'm almost 50 years old and I still play these games as soon as they launch. As long as I still have my sight and able to play I always will. It's a history lesson in every game. I hope to play many more in the future
Its so awesome to hear that you're still such a devoted enjoyer of AC even at 50! Im 25 right now and I know that im gonna be playing these games till I die
I can already tell the soundtrack will be magical in this one. Say what you want about Ubisoft but they always, ALWAYS, nail the atmosphere and the soundtrack. Huge Origins vibes too, and I have a lot of nostalgia from that one so this is a great gift.
As someone who has traveled to different countries in the middle east, seeing this love and care put into the region and its culture brings a smile to my face.
As an Arabian myself I can't say nothing but you nailed it, this is absolute perfection, I can't wait to play it on the Arabic dub (hopefully with a proper lips synch)
they already confirmed on Twitter by Ubisoft Middle East I believe that they nailed the lips sync.. and it's working and I think they even uploaded A small video clip about it.
Gamers may have their grievances with Ubisoft and the way handle doing their games. But you can’t deny the effort their teams put into these historic locations. Very beautifully done.
Yeah they’re known for creating these beautiful worlds with boring repetitive tasks. That’s what makes it frustrating. Wild lands was such an awesome world, and it was filled with nothing.
As an Iraqi born in Baghdad, I thank Ubisoft for being honest and accurate in describing that era of Abbasid caliphate. Baghdad is (Madinat Al Salam) the city of peace! The city of math, philosophy, algebra, physics, chemistry, literature and poetry! Thank you again Ubisoft from Baghdad!
I love how the map looks. How it looks almost drawn from higher above, but gains more depth almost becoming sculptural as you zoom in. That's such a lovely artistic touch to a feature that's often treated functionally only.
I feel like this is the perfect setting for this game. The Middle Eastern vibes, architecture, and atmosphere give me a special feeling that makes me want to go on an adventure.
yea i feel like what witcher 3 did was making everything mysterious and origin made things magical in the same way but odyssey and valhalla didnt hit the mark as well. so yea its nice to see em working on what made the previous versions work in the first place.
I honestly cannot wait for the Medieval Middle East again. Loved it in Assassin's Creed, Revelations, and now in Mirage. The desert is such a universal vibe.
Being someone who loves history this one of many reasons why I love AC games. When I play AC Origins and go in the tombs of the pyramids you see all the gifts they bring to the after life. If you look it up you will see how ubisoft decorated the tombs exactly how they really were. The attention to detail is amazing. I'm so looking forward to mirage to go play in Baghdad!
u kinda did like the taliban with the supercars after u escaped mcdonald , to rebuild ur integrity , like i wanted to help on integrity but then , bam lets do likr russia bussiness , for me ur just as low.
I grew up reading 1001 Nights and hearing stories about the Islamic Golden Age. I would love to visit your city one day, and see if anything from that time still remains.
It’s actually how games are able to maybe give us the closest experience to actually being in a historical wonder like Baghdad. Especially Assassin’s Creed. The fact that they added the Adhan is Amazing.
I think this definitely makes the game better. Before I think a lot of people were not too sure, but after these behind the scene videos, people have understood the potential of the game.

Valhalla had a behind the scenes for the musicians in charge of the ost, and that alone made me buy it. Didn't make up for the gameplay, but still was a decent game.
@@kishirisu1268 They have to change many things due to the game. But you can learn the real history from the codex entries. Their recent games cared less for the history and there was no functional codex, but it seems they are trying to get back to the roots this time. And it works. If someone plays the Ezio Trilogy, reads through the codex and watches the related short movies, it will be like reading a hundred page book on the Renaissance.
The game going gold and releasing 1 week early is testament to this team's commitment and work ethics! Eagerly waiting to dive back into OG assassin's creed gameplay experience.
@CanisoGaming it's not a teleport movement. It looks like that because the animus is glitched and can't follow on the movement. It's intentionally made like that. Haters gonna hate on everything these days.
@@geekofreeko9092 not a hater, Just stating It as It Is mate. Does It look like a teleport? Does It behave like a teleport? Yes, so miss me with those "glitch in the animus" Ubisoft style excuses for including what can be described as borderline superpowers lmao. Aint a glitch, its a teleport, plain & simple.
@geekofreeko9092 I'm tired of seeing this excuse. Never once in the old games was the animus used to explain away a gamplay ability for the player character... if it doesn't bother you - good - but its hypocritical to call this a return to the roots while including features like this
6:00 This iconic music theme is one of the most brilliant melodies that the game universe has ever seen. - It is a good life we lead, brother. - The best! - May it never change . - And may it never change us.
I remember talking about the abbasid caliphate over the umayyad because i couldn't remember how to spell umayyad. Although i talk about the infighting between the two caliphate which was full of corruption and assassination 😂
As an Iraqi, I am incredibly delighted and proud to see my country's rich history on such meaningful and respectful display. I have been dreaming of an Iraq-based Assassin's Creed since the original game and I cannot believe it's finally happening. Thank you, Ubisoft and I can't wait to get my hands on the game. :)

I love how you use the Arabic terms and titles properly and explain their meaning. It's great to mix entertainment with knowledge about history.
Also lebanese, I been playing these games since the original title that took place in damascus I was 10😂 Middle East is the perfect assassins creed setting
Moroccan, but it pains me to see moroccan zellige (tiles) in the game. They took a lot of moroccan craftsmanship into the game. And that's far from accurate. But the atmosphere seems good
Haven’t been this hyped for an assassins creed game since origins, very excited love the super accurate take you guys take on these worlds, as somebody which appreciates all time periods of history these last 3 assassins creed games have been such a good learning tool.
The genuine amount of passion the developers put into this game is astounding, everything from the culture, the city, the colors, soundtrack and even story look so interesting. If only they had more time to improve the parkour it can actually be a Top 3 easily imo. Nonetheless i’m extremely excited we are getting a true Assassin’s Creed game again.
I’m new to the assassins creed series. So far I’ve beaten Odyssey & Origins, and I’m about 60 hrs into Valhalla. I’m not a huge gamer but I love history. The graphics and attention to detail is amazing in these games. Ubisoft does a great job of bringing history to life and I appreciate the effort they put into re creating the environment as accurately as possible. I’m sure Mirage won’t disappoint!
its really refreshing seeing the dev team talk through the progress like previous ac games. Because we can hear their geniune interest and care that they seem to be putting into the game. I just hope all that they say is true
This is nothing we've been getting this in every assassin creed as of late (especially valhalla). What they should've fixed was story paceing, & character development.
@@LevTheChosenOne that's a overstatement mate this game hasn't even come out yet and your judging animations even though you've only seen the demo part of it.
Beautiful. I love your vision; it's exactly how I would imagine this environment and it gives me goosebumps to see it here. Congratulations, guys. I cannot wait for this game.
I swear, this video and this enthusiasm really brings me back in 2007 when Ubisoft still cared about their products!!!! I would want to shake hands with each one of you guys!! This IS WHAT WE WANT. Thank you.
من مجرد مشاهدتي العرض الأول عرفت تلقائيًا أنها بغداد بالعصر العباسي، هذا أن دل على شيء فهو يدل عل دَقَّة التصميم للمدينة وأزياء الشخصيات الموجودة فيها. أنا فخور بك يوبي سوف. Just by watching the first trailer, I could tell immediately it was Abbasid-era Baghdad. The city design and character costumes were very accurate. I'm proud of you Ubisoft. And thanks for all your effort.
God damn, they are showing so much. With this and the early release, You can tell they are confident. I’m getting excited about it! On another note, I’m glad the devs are bringing back the codex, I hope it will help to make a clearer cut between the fictional and the historical, allowing for truly learning while we play, something that heavily bothered me in the RPGs.
All I saw was 5:16 when the dude walking was glitchier than a ps2 game. U are right tho they are already showing so many bugs that will never be fixed!!
Damn, I had not noticed him sinking into the floor! On a more serious note, I was talking about the fact that there is more raw gameplay footage and insight into the making of the game.
Finally, I got to see our history presented in the game I love. 🇸🇦 Abbasid caliphate were a very important kingdom in our Arabian history that founded Baghdad and made it as a capital. It's truly wonderful to see it re-created.
There seems to be a lot more genuine passion for this. Like, releasing a week early compared to skull and bones delays shows a LOT of confidence in this and seeing people who worked on it excitedly talk about the different stuff they worked on was nice
@drifterax7731 No, I'm not offended. I just don't like ubisoft taking a character who is so much. He's a germanic god, the founder of the British brotherhood, and he has travelled a hood part of the world... but ubisoft just go oh look an Arab... It's inviting the wrong crowd people who want it to be propaganda and not just a fun game. And it's unfair to the Western fans who had history treated like a joke and twisted at every turn.
@@drifterax7731 it's the typical Western superiority complex. Ubisoft think thay can offer an invaluable gift hut don't think thay can offer english people anything for example. It's got so much wrong with it and this is by far the worst advisement for mirage because its gonna cause conflict.
OMG, the thing that gives me chills about Ubi's, esp AC and FC games are the art team and level or world designers! Such extensive work has been put into it with cultural appreciation in mind.
I remember a place in AC2 where you get up to a vantage point and the moon shines above the sea, then a soothing plucking of harp is played. I would stay awestruck for minutes to half an hour watching the scene.
As an Arab Muslim, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the developers for creating an extraordinary game that delves into the rich history of Baghdad. Through this game, we are able to traverse the bustling streets of Baghdad's past, witnessing the magnificent achievements of our predecessors and gaining a profound appreciation for the legacy they have left behind, Ubisoft's dedication to crafting an authentic and immersive experience is truly commendable, Thank you so much.
@@GurendaizaGOOO nowadays Christian blood is worth spilling considering to the fact more Christians die then muslims and the war thats going on so suck it.
@@xottic.brotherhood I'm not an Arab, but a Pakistani Muslim. Adhan is the Muslim call to prayer from mosques. Essentially telling you it's prayer time. Happens 5 times a day and is based on the position of the Sun in the sky.
Thanks, this attention to detail about history and archeology is the reason I have been playing AC games from the last 15 years. Looking forward to Mirage.
I will listen to every dialogue, walk every inch, learn about every character, and fully experience every single thing created in this game. I can not wait !
As an Arab Muslim i feel so proud seeing one of the biggest gaming studios making a full game in "baghdad" the second-largest city in the Arab world, i really cant wait until the game release so i can try it by myself. thank you ubisoft
I’m so hyped for this game! Assassin’s Creed Mirage is going to be epic. The 9th-century Baghdad is such a rich and vibrant world to explore, and I love how they recreated it with so much detail and authenticity. The combat, the stealth, and the parkour are all smooth and fluid. This is the Assassin’s Creed game we have always wanted !
The whole Assassins team is amazing they are letting us peep through this window of visuals the earlier times of some major & imp civilization.with finest details!!! The games you make are like blessing to the gaming community. Just want to say you guys are amazing!!!
@@FF-qx6cl Nobody cares trash codename red ac game. It'll be another doomed game by their disaster fantazy elements. This one is the latest and big potential for the parkour and should have felt as good as the unity one. But it won't. It's just another copy paste game which is big great success by Ubitrash.
@@FF-qx6clparkour is a significant part of Assassin's Creed, it's understandable if people are not satisfied with what they have when they know it can be better.
The Industrail District of Harbiyah in how they describe the setting really sounds similar to countries like Bangladesh as I have been there, so many beggers (mostly elderly and some children) try to scrape a living and sadly, the markets ive been to, its really dense and has a grim feeling to it.
The “Beyond Baghdad” content is what I came to see. I was so afraid this game would go back to the old games where we were stuck in just a big city. Glad there’ll still be biomes to explore.
As an Iraqi who lives in Baghdad, and a huge fan of all AC games, I can't wait to explore the city with pride and admiration for all the work you guys put into this game
Being from the middle east the Abbasid era was part of my high school curriculum and the stories that spawned from that time period are like nothing I've ever read or heard. If this game can capture even half of that mystique it would open a new generation to a long forgotten culture that is nothing to sneeze at
I’m surprised how much I love the history of Baghdad collectibles. I’ve found myself reading every single one. I’m glad this game takes its history seriously and incorporates it into the game as a direct objective. It’s like a playable history book! Please embrace this philosophy going forward into your other games!
A big thanks to Ubisoft for selecting this place and putting so much effort into making historical accuracy in this game. It shows how rich and advanced the city of Baghdad was before the US invaded and destroyed the place.
This is going to be incredible! Going back to the middle eastern roots, and seeing the historical characters from Baghdad and their achievements in astronomy will be beautiful. This game will hit home big time as I was born in Baghdad 🥹. I also cannot wait to hear the soundtrack 🔥
Can't wait for this game - I've wanted a true AC game for a while, and for them to be smaller / shorter. The fact that we're getting that and they're charging less than usual RRP is just win win win.
Talking graphics and details , There will never be another assassins creed game like UNITY , it felt like a movie , the animations , the transitions from game play to animations , the story telling , trully an underrated game , 10 years later no other game from ubisoft even came close to it ....
I'm glad the game is going a little bit outside Baghdad, there is so much beauty around it, I think it's huge missed opportunity to focus on Baghdad only, not just from environmental side but from historical also... I hope you come back to Iraq in the future in a different time maybe during Summerian/Akkadian/Babylonion times and explore the diverse beauty of Iraq 🇮🇶
@AmbitiousMentor rich history and diverse landscape, Iraq has history goes back to 7000BC, the greatest civilizations on earth born and flourished there, endless lists of kings and gods, Iraq during the abbasid times is nothing like Iraq during the Sumerians or Babylonion times, all are amazing in different ways. And I hope we see more of it.
@AmbitiousMentor it becomes a fact when you read about its history, it seems that you don't know much about it... plus, when I said the greatest, it's based on their achievements and what they have given the world. Iraqi civilizations will always be mentioned when discussing the world greatest ancient civilizations on earth... and I'm not saying they are the only ones
Say wht ya want abt Ubi but they are one of the few studios who makes extensive effort in crafting their historical era open worlds with as much actual history research put into designing the period and world to make it as accurate as possible using high volumes of historical, architectural records of real world landmarks. Their extensive research, own 3D mapping & recreation of Notre Dame Cathedral in Unity was actually used irl to aid restoration efforts of real world Notre Dame.
Ubisoft kills it with the worlds they create. Sure, Rockstar Games makes the most interactive worlds, but Ubisoft makes the best-looking worlds. It's a photo worthy shot no matter where you are in their worlds and no matter what direction you look in, and the environments are layered and almost never flat or sametric.
Absolute clown comment right here^ What is really better? A world that looks good but barely interactable, soulless and looks good only from the outside. Or a world with interiors, that feels lived in full of alive npc's. No I take my clown comment back. You are not a clown, you are the entire circus.
@@jaloniwilson The ONLY game to reuse Unity's parkour system was Syndicate, and even then they removed a bunch of animations. After syndicate it was completely remodelled. Origins and Odyssey use the same system. Valhalla has slightly different one. Mirage will have Valhallas parkous system with perhaps some improvements, more animations, and more speed.

@@alexwilliams4729 maybe you didn't read what I said, "progress like previous AC games"
@@Soloisbac gotchu, and I’m saying it is true they’re pros at it by now. They need to move on to fleshing out there story telling.
Ubisoft always makes the settings look beautiful as ever!
The fact that people will still have hate after this saddens me as thing looks graphically bloody amazing.
because graphics are all that matters?
@@DigitalHeliumJumperno the story and setting also matters a lot
The characters models and animations looks like from the Start of ps3 😂
It's one to be immersed in the environment, but what's the point if you are not as immersed in your character and gameplay?
@@LevTheChosenOne that's a overstatement mate this game hasn't even come out yet and your judging animations even though you've only seen the demo part of it.
Beautiful. I love your vision; it's exactly how I would imagine this environment and it gives me goosebumps to see it here. Congratulations, guys. I cannot wait for this game.
I swear, this video and this enthusiasm really brings me back in 2007 when Ubisoft still cared about their products!!!! I would want to shake hands with each one of you guys!! This IS WHAT WE WANT. Thank you.
من مجرد مشاهدتي العرض الأول عرفت تلقائيًا أنها بغداد بالعصر العباسي، هذا أن دل على شيء فهو يدل عل دَقَّة التصميم للمدينة وأزياء الشخصيات الموجودة فيها. أنا فخور بك يوبي سوف.
Just by watching the first trailer, I could tell immediately it was Abbasid-era Baghdad. The city design and character costumes were very accurate.
I'm proud of you Ubisoft.
And thanks for all your effort.
I bet you're pride really matters to them.
the soundtrack that starts at 6:01 gives me shivers ❤️🔥
Same here, someone needs to make a full version of it
God damn, they are showing so much. With this and the early release, You can tell they are confident. I’m getting excited about it!
On another note, I’m glad the devs are bringing back the codex, I hope it will help to make a clearer cut between the fictional and the historical, allowing for truly learning while we play, something that heavily bothered me in the RPGs.
All I saw was 5:16 when the dude walking was glitchier than a ps2 game. U are right tho they are already showing so many bugs that will never be fixed!!
Damn, I had not noticed him sinking into the floor!
On a more serious note, I was talking about the fact that there is more raw gameplay footage and insight into the making of the game.
@@helghast_7203 No no go pre order anyway you fu-cking sheep!
Can't wait to experience it! Congratulations and thank you for your hard work!
Finally, I got to see our history presented in the game I love. 🇸🇦
Abbasid caliphate were a very important kingdom in our Arabian history that founded Baghdad and made it as a capital. It's truly wonderful to see it re-created.
Will there be a dedicated walk button? I miss that from the originals, really helps you to feel immersed in the crowds
I know right
I miss the puppet control system too much 😢
@@pipgoesthepossum same
Wouldn't hold my breath tbh. It will controls just like Valhalla. It was a Valhalla DLC originally.
Plug in a controller damn it
There seems to be a lot more genuine passion for this. Like, releasing a week early compared to skull and bones delays shows a LOT of confidence in this and seeing people who worked on it excitedly talk about the different stuff they worked on was nice
They’re releasing it a week early bc Spiderman, Alan wake 2 , Mario wonder, you name it😂. They will all be more focused rather than mirage.
@@theonlypook2886this game will flop hard and ubishit will go back to making open world rpg slop (already confirmed). so much for "return to roots"
It's true, modern Baghdad is shown as war torn and shattered, it'll be nice to see it in its true glory
It's true glory would be now just not war-torn...
@@AmbitiousMentor sorry I meant no offence, I meant it's historical glory
@drifterax7731 No, I'm not offended. I just don't like ubisoft taking a character who is so much.
He's a germanic god, the founder of the British brotherhood, and he has travelled a hood part of the world... but ubisoft just go oh look an Arab...
It's inviting the wrong crowd people who want it to be propaganda and not just a fun game. And it's unfair to the Western fans who had history treated like a joke and twisted at every turn.
@@AmbitiousMentor huh I never thought about it like that, you're right
@@drifterax7731 it's the typical Western superiority complex. Ubisoft think thay can offer an invaluable gift hut don't think thay can offer english people anything for example.
It's got so much wrong with it and this is by far the worst advisement for mirage because its gonna cause conflict.
OMG, the thing that gives me chills about Ubi's, esp AC and FC games are the art team and level or world designers! Such extensive work has been put into it with cultural appreciation in mind.
I remember a place in AC2 where you get up to a vantage point and the moon shines above the sea, then a soothing plucking of harp is played. I would stay awestruck for minutes to half an hour watching the scene.
This is the AC I miss! Thank you for bringing a sense of place and history back to the franchise.
Incredible love the vibes so much!!
IKR
This is impressive. The music has also been so impressive so far.
As an Arab Muslim, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the developers for creating an extraordinary game that delves into the rich history of Baghdad. Through this game, we are able to traverse the bustling streets of Baghdad's past, witnessing the magnificent achievements of our predecessors and gaining a profound appreciation for the legacy they have left behind, Ubisoft's dedication to crafting an authentic and immersive experience is truly commendable, Thank you so much.
Those mongels are gonna burn in hell for spilling muslim blood.
@@jcgaming908muslim blood is the only type of blood worth spilled
@@GurendaizaGOOO nowadays Christian blood is worth spilling considering to the fact more Christians die then muslims and the war thats going on so suck it.
@@harlowida No, I'm not a muslim
Seeing how much effort they put into this, made me really stoked!
Its the City and Music for me, cant wait thankyou for making it release a week early, but I also hope you guys are ready with finished product!👍🏼
Thanks ubisoft that was amazing the city and the other locations like the desert and forest looks awesome 🤩 can’t wait
by reading history books one can only imagine how the cities were back then...But games give us the chance to experience it ourselves
I will say I have learned a lot of history of different cultures playing assassins creed. Can’t wait to see what I will learn about the early Baghdad
Yes, im so excited for Mirage. Just like i used to be with the first Assassin's Creed games. Can't wait to play with you, Basim!
Finally an Assassins creed game that is about the ASSASSINS CREED!!!
its actually so cool to get to see and hear the process behind designing it
This is an incredible feat in historical recreation
The fact you can hear the adhan is really gonna make it so much immersive. It's so peaceful
Can you please tell me what the Adhan specifically do I have a feeling it relates to religion but I don’t wanna disrespect the culture
@@xottic.brotherhood I'm not an Arab, but a Pakistani Muslim. Adhan is the Muslim call to prayer from mosques. Essentially telling you it's prayer time. Happens 5 times a day and is based on the position of the Sun in the sky.
@@temurshah925thanks a lot I can’t wait to learn more about it when mirage comes out
Thanks, this attention to detail about history and archeology is the reason I have been playing AC games from the last 15 years. Looking forward to Mirage.
I will listen to every dialogue, walk every inch, learn about every character, and fully experience every single thing created in this game. I can not wait !
As an Arab Muslim i feel so proud seeing one of the biggest gaming studios making a full game in "baghdad" the second-largest city in the Arab world, i really cant wait until the game release so i can try it by myself. thank you ubisoft
I’m exited for this game too and I hope once we play it I get to see everything about your culture
Out of curiosity, what’s the first one? :)
@@jonruiz5885القاهرة
You aren't Arabian. You are Algerian. Arabians are inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula.
@@Umayyadazi من يعلم الحم.ار ذا ان العرب هاجروا وقت الفتوحات الاسلامية
I’m so hyped for this game! Assassin’s Creed Mirage is going to be epic. The 9th-century Baghdad is such a rich and vibrant world to explore, and I love how they recreated it with so much detail and authenticity. The combat, the stealth, and the parkour are all smooth and fluid. This is the Assassin’s Creed game we have always wanted !
Have you forgotten what happened to AC Odyssey?
@@snxium What do you mean?
skill + passion about the project = a great game
Microtransactions + store in sp game = a trashy game
The whole Assassins team is amazing they are letting us peep through this window of visuals the earlier times of some major & imp civilization.with finest details!!! The games you make are like blessing to the gaming community. Just want to say you guys are amazing!!!
Looks bright, colorful, medieval beautiful I can’t wait to just explore the city of Baghdad! Amazing work
I don’t know if this game gonna be good or bad, but I think this is the coolest setting we got in the series so far
Im actually excited for the game , i just hope the Parkour will be smooth and not stiff like in the gameplay
My brother in christ who cares, it's like they showed. It's alright, it's like the engine they used for the last 3 games. Wait Red for better parkour
@@FF-qx6cl Nobody cares trash codename red ac game. It'll be another doomed game by their disaster fantazy elements. This one is the latest and big potential for the parkour and should have felt as good as the unity one. But it won't. It's just another copy paste game which is big great success by Ubitrash.
@@FF-qx6clparkour is a significant part of Assassin's Creed, it's understandable if people are not satisfied with what they have when they know it can be better.
@@FF-qx6clliterally the parkour it one of the most important aspects of the game 😐 and it looks mediocre in the gameplay I hope they improve it
@@FF-qx6cl They are using the same engine since AC Unity. So its not an engine issue.
The Industrail District of Harbiyah in how they describe the setting really sounds similar to countries like Bangladesh as I have been there, so many beggers (mostly elderly and some children) try to scrape a living and sadly, the markets ive been to, its really dense and has a grim feeling to it.
No no remember that's call of duty. Ubisoft will tell you the truth thay will make it look wonderful....
That's a side effect of being the most overpopulated country in the world
The “Beyond Baghdad” content is what I came to see. I was so afraid this game would go back to the old games where we were stuck in just a big city. Glad there’ll still be biomes to explore.
i love the work Ubisoft do on their research and historical settings so many historical documents used in the creation of this map is incredible
As an Iraqi who lives in Baghdad, and a huge fan of all AC games, I can't wait to explore the city with pride and admiration for all the work you guys put into this game
It will never get old hearing ezio's family. Never.
I have a really great feeling about this game! This could quite possibly be a masterpiece.
Being from the middle east the Abbasid era was part of my high school curriculum and the stories that spawned from that time period are like nothing I've ever read or heard.
If this game can capture even half of that mystique it would open a new generation to a long forgotten culture that is nothing to sneeze at
I’m surprised how much I love the history of Baghdad collectibles. I’ve found myself reading every single one. I’m glad this game takes its history seriously and incorporates it into the game as a direct objective. It’s like a playable history book! Please embrace this philosophy going forward into your other games!
Awesome as always Ubisoft
No one represents middle eastern culture better than Ubisoft. Can’t wait for Mirage
Well there not awesome all the time
This is the felling I had on the older Assassin's Creed, historical accuracy! Also I love the music of this game!
Exactly, when i entered Jerusalem or Acre in the first AC it was an amazing experience. Hopefully they can recreate this experience with Baghdad.
I see GOTY there, guys. Looks brilliant, very immersive city. I'm gonna just walk around and watch the history at first
Mirage looks good, yes. But GOTY? I think thats reaching
I see a clown here guys. Clowns who buys same games and encourages devs to add microtransactions and still complain.
I'm from Baghdad
It is amazing work Thank you UBISOFT❤
A big thanks to Ubisoft for selecting this place and putting so much effort into making historical accuracy in this game. It shows how rich and advanced the city of Baghdad was before the US invaded and destroyed the place.
I am so hyped to discover every single Detail of this wonderful world… Big respect 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
This is going to be incredible! Going back to the middle eastern roots, and seeing the historical characters from Baghdad and their achievements in astronomy will be beautiful. This game will hit home big time as I was born in Baghdad 🥹. I also cannot wait to hear the soundtrack 🔥
Can't wait for this game - I've wanted a true AC game for a while, and for them to be smaller / shorter. The fact that we're getting that and they're charging less than usual RRP is just win win win.
Microtransactions and store is lose lose lose though.
More than Amazing work Ubisoft and The AC Mirage Team.
Talking graphics and details , There will never be another assassins creed game like UNITY , it felt like a movie , the animations , the transitions from game play to animations , the story telling , trully an underrated game , 10 years later no other game from ubisoft even came close to it ....
I'm glad the game is going a little bit outside Baghdad, there is so much beauty around it, I think it's huge missed opportunity to focus on Baghdad only, not just from environmental side but from historical also... I hope you come back to Iraq in the future in a different time maybe during Summerian/Akkadian/Babylonion times and explore the diverse beauty of Iraq 🇮🇶
Thay did England twice and both were very stereotype and critical.... why should this be different?
@AmbitiousMentor rich history and diverse landscape, Iraq has history goes back to 7000BC, the greatest civilizations on earth born and flourished there, endless lists of kings and gods, Iraq during the abbasid times is nothing like Iraq during the Sumerians or Babylonion times, all are amazing in different ways. And I hope we see more of it.
@SindyJB but why treat this better than Western culture and history?
It being the "greatest" is a subjective opinion, not a fact..
@AmbitiousMentor it becomes a fact when you read about its history, it seems that you don't know much about it... plus, when I said the greatest, it's based on their achievements and what they have given the world. Iraqi civilizations will always be mentioned when discussing the world greatest ancient civilizations on earth... and I'm not saying they are the only ones
@@SindyJB carful on that attitude fraind...
You're words are fanatic and foolish
Ubisoft always puts 101 % in world building, shame that the story telling and gameplay mechanics are not treated the same lately.
DUDE!! You nailed it right on the head.
Sounds like this story will be philosophical about freedom and the stuff which I'm all for.
%101 in world building? Is that why they look copy pasted and soulless?
seeing basim wear shoes all over mosque domes is 💀
Say wht ya want abt Ubi but they are one of the few studios who makes extensive effort in crafting their historical era open worlds with as much actual history research put into designing the period and world to make it as accurate as possible using high volumes of historical, architectural records of real world landmarks. Their extensive research, own 3D mapping & recreation of Notre Dame Cathedral in Unity was actually used irl to aid restoration efforts of real world Notre Dame.
Ubisoft kills it with the worlds they create. Sure, Rockstar Games makes the most interactive worlds, but Ubisoft makes the best-looking worlds. It's a photo worthy shot no matter where you are in their worlds and no matter what direction you look in, and the environments are layered and almost never flat or sametric.
Absolute clown comment right here^
What is really better? A world that looks good but barely interactable, soulless and looks good only from the outside.
Or a world with interiors, that feels lived in full of alive npc's.
No I take my clown comment back. You are not a clown, you are the entire circus.
Baghdad looks beautiful, unfortunately the parkour has not received as much attention
Parkour is much more like old AC games then unity.
@@cezardinco4613 No, it is the same engine as AC Valhalla, most animations are the same, with some minor changes.
@@mainwaveeall of those animations all come from Unity still. Its about controls, input timing and animation speeds. Those are whats different.
@@mainwaveewho cares about the animations what the heck
@@jaloniwilson The ONLY game to reuse Unity's parkour system was Syndicate, and even then they removed a bunch of animations. After syndicate it was completely remodelled. Origins and Odyssey use the same system. Valhalla has slightly different one. Mirage will have Valhallas parkous system with perhaps some improvements, more animations, and more speed.
