A new Assassin's Creed game is set in Baghdad: Watch here

Ubisoft has unveiled the Assassin's Creed Mirage, a new action-adventure game in the series, set in 9th-Century Baghdad, Iraq.

Assassin's Creed Mirage, which was unveiled as a component of Ubisoft Forward's Assassin's Creed Showcase, places you in the role of Basim Ibn Ishaq and takes place in Baghdad twenty years before the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

A CGI cinematic trailer highlighted Basim's transformation from a common street thief to a skilled assassin. He does so under the instruction of Persian assassin Roshan. Players can anticipate that the two's story will feature a number of historical figures, including political leaders, according to Ubisoft.
