Mirage: Returning to the Origins – with Contemporary Enhancements
Upon its release in 2023, many fans regarded it as a refreshing alteration in a franchise that had recently expanded to an excessive degree. Rather than sheer volume, Ubisoft Bordeaux is revisiting what initially made the series remarkable: stealth, precise missions, and a more streamlined focus.
Our partner portal rated the title four out of five stars at the time, highlighting its consistent gameplay: “Mirage never becomes monotonous, provides diversity, and simply feels enjoyable to play.” So if you’ve been yearning for an Assassin’s Creed adventure devoid of endless collection tasks, now’s the moment.
However, the month doesn’t conclude there: on August 12, Aliens: Fireteam Elite joins the subscription – cooperative sci-fi action for PC, console, and cloud. On August 14, 9 Kings follows as a strategic new addition to the PC game preview.
At the same time, though, it’s also time to bid farewell, as a number of older games will be leaving the catalog.
In conclusion: August offers a vibrant assortment in Xbox Game Pass, but for many, it will likely be just a matter of time before they plunge into Baghdad and make Assassin’s Creed Mirage their standout experience.
