While a lotta this information is new, Mirage itself isn’t. Previously codenamed “Rift” and originally built as an expansion to 2020's Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Mirage leaked right at the end of August.

Ubisoft eventually caved in, though, and officially unveiled Mirage as the “next Assassin’s Creed game.” You could say stealth didn’t work here, especially since Ubisoft may have blown its own cover.
