Highlights

• Launching exclusively on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and M1-equipped iPads.
• Set in 9th-century Baghdad with full console experience.
• Touchscreen controls adapted for an intuitive mobile gaming experience.
• Free 90-minute trial available at launch on the App Store.

Mark your calendars, mobile gamers – one of 2024’s biggest console releases is making the leap to iPhone and iPad.

Ubisoft has officially announced that Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the latest entry in the blockbuster stealth-action franchise, will arrive on the App Store July 6th as an exclusive for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad models packing Apple’s beefy M1 chip or newer.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set in the vibrant, historically-inspired setting of 9th-century Baghdad.

The game will put you in the shoes of Basim, a cunning street thief who’s swept into the clandestine world of the Assassins.

Expect sprawling cities to explore, rooftops to parkour across, and plenty of sneaky stabbing action.

Console-Like Experience on Your iPhone

What’s particularly impressive is that Ubisoft is aiming to bring the full, uncensored Assassin’s Creed Mirage experience to mobile, without cutting corners.

The publisher promises an adventure just as rich and meaty as what you’ll find on consoles and PC.

Of course, tailoring such an ambitious open world to work seamlessly on a smartphone wasn’t easy.

“Our teams worked hard to adapt the game controls to the touch screen in order to provide an intuitive, comfortable and engaging gaming experience,” said the Ubisoft Sofia team leading development in a recent statement. We’ll have to go hands-on to see if they’ve cracked the code, but early footage is certainly tantalizing.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage for iOS Teased Earlier

Interestingly, Mirage for iPhone and iPad was first teased way back in September during Apple’s iPhone 15 unveiling.

At the time, a vague “early 2024” release window was touted.

The new July 6th date means the game missed that initial target, though it will align neatly with Apple’s annual WWDC developer conference – a prime venue for showing off the power of the latest iOS and iPadOS updates.

When it does arrive next month, you’ll be able to download Assassin’s Creed Mirage from the App Store and play a 90-minute free trial before deciding whether to purchase the full game.

For those rocking Apple’s top-tier mobile silicon, this could be the most visually dazzling and narratively engrossing adventure to ever grace their pocket computer.
