TheAssassin’s Creedfranchise took a sharp turn away from tradition with 2017’sAssassin’s Creed Origins, but it looks like it might be going back to its roots withAssassin’s CreedMirage. The pre-OriginsAssassin’s Creedgames were centered on mostly urban environments, featuring dense, historic cities packed with NPCs and opportunities for social stealth, with necessitated blending into the crowd and vanishing without a trace.

AlthoughotherAssassin’s Creedcharacters might not appearinAssassin’s Creed Mirage, at least one of their famous outfits will. According to a recent Twitter post from AndyReloads,Miragewill feature a version of the black, fur-lined robes that Ezio donned inAssassin’s Creed Revelations, the third and final entry in the Ezio trilogy. It’s unclear whether this outfit will be unlockable within the base game or available as an in-game purchase.
The inclusion of legacy outfits inAssassin’s Creedgames is nothing new. Even the older Ezio-centric games allowed players to wear the robes of Altair, andOriginsfeatured outfits from all the previousAssassin’s Creedgames, for instance. The arrival of theRevelationsoutfit is particularly fitting, asAssassin’s Creed Mirage’s settingharkens back to the middle-east locales ofRevelations. It also suggests that there may be even more cameos or Easter eggs related to Ezio or otherAssassin’s Creedprotagonists.
Adding Ezio’sRevelationsoutfit could also be another sign thatMirageis reprising the series' original spirit. Although plenty of gamers feel that the recentAssassin’s Creedgames have been a success, there are long-time fans who long for the more concise, stealth-focused experiences that the older games in the franchise offered. For many, this original formula was perfected with the Ezio trilogy, so paying homage to at least one of these games might be a tongue-in-cheek way of drawing another connection between this game and the past.Assassin’s Creed Mirageis launching soon, so players will soon find out exactly how close this game comes to the pre-Originsreleases.
