Assassin's Creed Mirage developer Ubisoft Bordeaux will continue working within the Assassin's Creed series. New lead writer Rik Godwin confirmed his work on the franchise, although no specifics about the project were disclosed. This could hint at a new game in the works, beyond Mirage which lacks plans for DLC, or possibly collaboration on other Assassin's Creed titles from Ubisoft.
Previously, the Bordeaux studio contributed to Assassin's Creed Valhalla through the Wrath of the Druids DLC and has been involved in live operations for titles like Ghost Recon Wildlands, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and Rainbow Six Extraction. With the studio's ongoing connection to the Assassin's Creed universe, fans can look forward to more content emerging from this partnership.
In a review of Assassin's Creed Mirage, it was mentioned that the game strips back features unrelated to stealth assassinations, which can feel nostalgically entertaining but might also seem as fleeting as a mirage. This feedback reflects the title's focused but limited scope compared to broader offerings in the series.
Stay tuned for future updates on Ubisoft Bordeaux's involvement with the Assassin's Creed franchise and potential new developments for fans eager for more adventures in the popular historical action series.
