00:00 Mirage is a fresh, standalone story that you can play without having experienced any of
00:04 the past titles, but if you want to jump in with more context, we've got you covered.
00:08 The game takes place in 9th century Baghdad.
00:11 You play as Basim, a cunning young street thief who finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy
00:16 that eludes his understanding.
00:18 With nowhere else to turn, he joins the Hidden Ones, the first official incarnation of the
00:22 Assassin's Brotherhood, formed by Bayek and Aya in Egypt in 49 BCE during the events of
00:28 Assassin's Creed Origins.
00:30 Mirage actually takes place 9 centuries after the events of Assassin's Creed Origins, at
00:34 a time when the Assassins are still known as the Hidden Ones, and 338 years before the
00:39 time of Altair and the events of the original Assassin's Creed game.
00:45 You first met an older and more experienced Basim in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, when he
00:49 followed the Raven Clan during the Viking invasion with motives of his own.
00:53 Now 12 years earlier, we are in Baghdad, with a younger Basim fighting for the free will
00:58 of the people and defending them from the tyranny of those who would seek to control
01:02 them.
01:03 But not everything is as it seems.
01:05 There are more than dark deeds happening in the shadows of Baghdad to worry about.
01:08 What does it all mean?
01:09 All will be answered in Assassin's Creed Mirage.
