It is reported that Mirage won’t be a massive open-world role-playing game, and will instead have more of a focus on stealth.While a Ubisoft spokesperson said that the publisher does not comment “on rumours or speculation as they do a disservice to our development teams and community,” Basim’s return was announced back in 2021 during a Eurogamer interview with Valhalla producer José Araiza.Ubisoft Forward will be available via the publisher’s official website, or through Ubisoft’s own YouTube and Twitch channels.
