It’s taken over a year, but the wait is almost over. Ubisoft has officially announced that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will make its debut on Steam by the end of this October.

Released a year ago, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has won over many nostalgic fans with its promise of a “return to the origins.” Featuring Basim as the protagonist in a beautifully recreated Baghdad, the open world captivated many players. However, while some embraced the return to classic Assassin’s Creed gameplay, others were not entirely sold on the concept. Nevertheless, Ubisoft recognized that the old formula still resonates strongly with a significant portion of its fanbase.

After being available for over a year on PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Ubisoft Connect and the Epic Games Store, the company has now announced via X (formerly Twitter) that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will soon be available on Steam. While the exact release date hasn’t been confirmed, Ubisoft has stated it will happen by the end of this month. In the meantime, players can add the game to their Steam wishlist as they eagerly await more news about the upcoming release.

As you likely know, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a return to a more classic experience, emphasizing open-world exploration and stealth. While some may find the melee combat and story lacking compared to earlier entries, the nostalgic gameplay shines through. If you enjoyed titles like Assassin’s Creed 2, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy this one too. Now, all we need to do is wait for Ubisoft to announce the final release date, along with more Steam-related news.

Ubisoft’s shift in policy regarding Steam

This move marks a major change in Ubisoft’s relationship with Steam. The delayed release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows has had a significant impact on Ubisoft’s strategy, as its success could determine the company’s fiscal year. From now on, all major Ubisoft titles will launch on day one on Steam, a decision that has been well-received by the gaming community. Additionally, Ubisoft has decided to move away from the traditional “Season Pass” model. As a special offer, those who pre-order Assassin’s Creed Shadows will receive the first expansion of the game for free.
