We've been hearing rumours about a new, smaller-scale Assassin's Creed game for months. Previously known as Assassin's Creed Rift, this mystery game has now been officially announced as Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Ubisoft has now confirmed it will be the next game in the series.
Following on from leaks earlier this week, Ubisoft has now officially confirmed Assassin's Creed Mirage, announcing a proper reveal to take place on the 10th of September. The announcement also brings us our first official image from the game:

We've seen a number of leaks around this game, but some sources disagree on certain elements. There was a rumour that there would be multiple cities to explore, but that is apparently not true. However, the game will star Basim from Assassin's Creed Valhalla and will aim to take the series ‘back to its roots' with stealth-focused gameplay and less reliance on RPG mechanics.
While Assassin's Creed Mirage was initially targeting late 2022/early 2023, recent rumours hint that the game might not launch until Q2 2023, which would put it somewhere between April and the end of June.

KitGuru Says: After a few years of RPG-inspired Assassin's Creed games, it will be nice to go back to the older style for a bit.
