Assassin’s Creed Mirage is Ubisoft’s latest AC installment that takes players back to the roots of the franchise, but does it feature an open world? Here’s all you need to know about Assassins Creed Mirage being open-world.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is finally out, bringing the Ubisoft franchise back to its roots and returning to a more stealthy style of gameplay in a bustling, cramped city.

The main setting for AC Mirage is 9th-century Baghdad, a location and time period that’s oozing with historical significance. If you’re familiar with Assassin’s Creed games, you’ll know just how much of an effort the developers make when it comes to historical accuracy, especially with the location’s map.

With that said, many may be wondering whether the game has an open world, especially since it has moved from the massive size and RPG elements of Odyssey and Valhalla. Here’s your answer.

Does Assassin’s Creed Mirage have an open world?

Yes, Assasin’s Creed Mirage has an open world. Players can freely explore Baghdad, which is cramped with exciting opportunities, some of which fans of the franchise are sure to be familiar with.

That said, the map is smaller than that of Valhalla and Odyssey. This is mainly because the devs wanted to revert back to a tighter experience that’s reminiscent of the first generation of Assassin’s Creed games, with more emphasis on a bustling, developing city.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is much more focused on you parkouring your way through a busy city rather than traveling across expansive lands.
