Often when studios share updates about a game’s release date, it’s bad news. But today, Ubisoft gave us some good news about the next chapter in the Assassin’s Creed story, Assassin’s Creed Mirage:
Assassin’s Creed Mirage has gone gold and is coming out a week early!
On behalf of the entire team, we can’t wait for you to explore 9th Century Baghdad with Basim.
Your journey now starts on October 5. Save the new date! #AssassinsCreed pic.twitter.com/eWAZttvjIX

As the above tweet says (or in case you can’t see it because of Twitter nonsense), the game has gone gold, and will now be releasing a week early on October 5th. Given how insanely packed that month already is — October will also see the release of Detective Pikachu Returns, Alan Wake II, Spider-Man 2, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, plus a few other games that in other months might be considered heavy hitters — it may not be a bad strategy for Assassin’s Creed Mirage to arrive in stores first.
We’ll see if the strategy pays off when the game arrives on PS4/PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC on October 5th!
