Summary
Assassin’s Creed Miragefans have received an unexpected update to the title, featuring the launch of an all-new game mode and a plethora of other features. This isAssassin’s Creed Mirage’sfirst major update after Update 1.0.6, which was released a couple of months back and added New Game Plus alongside several other things.
TheAssassin’s Creedfranchise has witnessed several changes over the years, withOriginsmarking an inflection point for the series. While the RPG elements blended with the stealth mechanics managed to carve out its own niche, diehard fans were still looking for a game that echoed the soul of the franchise. WithAssassin’s Creed Mirage, the series once again went back to its roots, embracing a more linear experience than its recent predecessors. DespiteAssassin’s Creed Miragegarnering mixed reception from the community, the developers have been actively releasing updates for the game.
As part of its latest update, Ubisoft Bordeaux is making a series of changes to the title, most notable of all being the all-new Full Synchronization Challenge. Also known as the permadeath mode, it will allow players to partake in a ruthless experience where dying or even committing illegal actions like killing citizens would mean that they will have to start the game all over again. Basically, any act that desynchronizes them from the Animus will also delete their saved file as well. This mode will only be available for new playthroughs, andAssassin’s Creed Mirage’scross-progression/cloud saves featureswill be disabled for this mode.
Depending on which difficulty players complete the Full Synchronization challenge, the rewards can be quite lucrative, ranging from new emblems to the Rayhan costume, new dyes, and much more. Apart from that, players can nowequip any outfit as a costume inAssassin’s Creed Mirage, also known as transmog. This feature was requested a lot at launch since it basically allows players to wear any costume and use the abilities of a different outfit altogether.
Furthermore, the update also adds a new Easter egg, which can be found “purrusing” in the streets, according to the developers. Fans are eagerly looking forward to discovering this Easter egg, considering that the developers had previouslyadded a fan’s cat whose face resembled theAssassin’s Creedlogoto the game. Apart from that, there are a plethora of other bug fixes, most of which are focused on the New Game Plus mode. Here are the complete patch notes of the update.
