Assassin’s Creed Mirage launches a week earlier than announced

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will launch seven days ahead of its previously announced release date, Ubisoft has confirmed.

Ubisoft has announced specifically that Assassin’s Creed Mirage has reached the final production phase and is now It will release on October 5. Prior to today’s surprise, it was scheduled to launch on October 12.

“Congratulations to all of our hard-working teams, we are so proud of all of you and can’t wait to show everyone what they’ve been working on with an early release!says Ubisoft in its announcement.

While Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s previous release date didn’t directly coincide with any other big triple-A release, moving the release up to the beginning of the month gives the game a bit more headroom against big October games like Alan Wake 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. First impressions suggest that Assassin’s Creed Mirage can be completed in 20-30 hours, so you might actually be hoping to finish it before this year’s rush of big games begins.

It’s unusual for a game to release before its previously planned release date, but oddly enough it’s already happened with a big release this year. Baldur’s Gate 3 released a full month early on PC because, well, that version was up and ready to go. That’s a special case though, especially since the PS5 version was pushed back a week as part of the same announcement. The early release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage is happening on all platforms.
