\"Assassin's<\/p>\n

When Ubisoft revealed Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage last September<\/a>, it also announced that Basim Ibn Is\u2019haq, the master assassin who brought Eivor into the Hidden Ones order in 2020\u2019s Assassin\u2019s Creed Valhalla<\/a>, was returning. This time, however, he would the playable protagonist. His journey in Mirage takes him from street thief to Hidden Ones order initiate and eventually to the master assassin we see in Valhalla.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Basim getting his own game is the first time in the franchise\u2019s history that a character who already appeared in a different Assassin\u2019s Creed gets their own mainline game as protagonist. After playing Mirage for roughly two hours for Game Informer’s\u00a0<\/em>latest cover story<\/a>, I came away excited to learn more about Basim\u2019s journey and experience his progression, both narratively and mechanically, in the full release this October<\/a>. But I was also curious how developer Ubisoft Bordeaux decided to bring Basim back. It turns out his backstory (or lack thereof when we meet Basim in Valhalla) and how it ties into the series\u2019 first protagonist, Altair Ibn-La\u2019Ahad, whose Assassin’s Creed events take place in 1191 roughly 300 years after Mirage, is one of the key factors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
