Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage Delayed to October, According to Insider
Fans of the Assassin's Creed franchise may have to wait a little longer for the next installment, as Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage has been pushed back from its previously rumored August release date to October this year. Insider Gaming journalist Tom Henderson, known for his trustworthy leaks, recently claimed to have learned of this news from his sources.
While no official release date has been announced, rumors have been circulating since late last year that the game would be released this August. This was fueled further by a claim made by a GameStop employee. According to Henderson's sources, Ubisoft will need a few more months to ensure the game's quality.
Ubisoft Forward and More Information
On June 12, Ubisoft will hold a new Ubisoft Forward, during which they may reveal more details about the game's release date. Other Ubisoft titles, such as Far Cry 6, Rainbow Six Siege, and Riders Republic, could be announced or updated at the event.
