Assassin’s Creed Mirage Will Have a Nostalgic Visual Filter to Make it Look Like Assassin’s Creed 1

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is going to take the series back to its roots when it launches later this year. A recent behind-the-scenes development video released by Ubisoft touches on that particular aspect of the experience, and how it will refocus on gameplay elements like parkour, stealth, and assassinations to deliver a more classic Assassin’s Creed experience.

That’s not the only way the upcoming action-adventure title will be appealing to veteran fans of the franchise though. In the video, the developer has also revealed that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will feature a “nostalgic” visual filter that will apply a desaturated blue-gray look to the game’s graphics, making them look shockingly close to what the original Assassin’s Creed looked like. Check it out in action in the video below.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is due out on October 12 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Expect to hear more about the game at Ubisoft Forward on June 12.
