Gamescom, the world’s largest trade fair for interactive entertainment, kicked off this week with a thrilling trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The trailer provided a sneak peek at the increasingly popular franchise’s newest installment, set to launch this fall.
The trailer begins with a lone figure running across a castle interior with an eerily shining sword. As exciting as the action scenes are, the new stormtrooper-like armor featured in the trailer was the centerpiece, with its gold trim and sleek design. Fans can tell from the trailer that the game’s environments and combat are on another level.
Given the popularity of its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the expectations are already high for the new game. It’s likely that the game will remain true to the franchise’s immersive world-building, while also introducing new and exciting ways to interact with the game’s story and characters.
Of course, the trailer raises just as many questions as it provides answers. We still don’t know much about the game’s setting, antagonists, and protagonist, but the trailer does provide enough of a glimpse to raise anticipation mountainside high.
The new trailer ends with a brief glimpse at the game’s title: “Assassin’s Creed Mirage.” There’s no telling what disappointment lies in wait, but Assassin’s Creed fans seem anxious to find out when the game releases this fall.
