Yesterday, Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed Mirage has gone Gold and that it will release on week earlier. So, the game’s new release date is October 5th. And, from the looks of it, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech and the VMProtect DRM.
Assassin's Creed Mirage has gone gold and is coming out a week early! 📀
On behalf of the entire team, we can't wait for you to explore 9th Century Baghdad with Basim.

Now I wouldn’t normally report on this. By now, most players should assume that every new Assassin’s Creed game will be using Denuvo and VMProtect. So yeah, Mirage is not exception to that. However, there was no point in just sharing the new release date tweet.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an homage to the series, and a particularly special tribute to the first Assassin’s Creed. Inviting players to immerse themselves in a magnificent ninth-century Baghdad at the peak of its Golden Age, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage will offer a narrative-driven action-adventure experience with a modern take on the parkour, stealth, and assassinations gameplay elements that have defined the franchise for over fifteen years.
From what we know, this new AC game will skip Steam at launch and will be available on Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Connect. And, for those wondering, Ubisoft has not shared yet its official PC system requirements.
Lastly, it’s worth noting that Denuvo introduced some additional stutters in Assassin’s Creed Origins. While our average framerates were similar between the Denuvo-free and the Denuvo versions of Origins, we had noticeably more stutters when Denuvo was active. Similar stuttering issues appeared in Tekken 7. Thus, let’s hope that the implementation of Denuvo in Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be at least better than that.
Stay tuned for more!

I literally busted out laughing in my seat reading that headline.
As sure as the sun will rise, Ubi will continue to be pure consumer cancer. Moving on…..
Thank you for saving me my money Ubisoft.
Remember, this game will have micro transaction, Ubisoft is refuse to change.

Even if it didn’t, who the fck wants to play assassin’s creed.
Everything that Ubishaft sh*ts out is so soulless that in a year or two, AIs will be able to make the exact same games from scratch.
These open world shtick games should be called AI generated video games.
Why on Earth are game developers using VMProtect? That’s something that malware analysts have written numerous in-depth articles on how to defeat… Unless there’s more than one thing called VMProtect…
Vm protect is kinda like flavor of condoms with extra layer.
True, while VMProtect can be defeated (just like Denuvo), it still takes significant time & work to do so.
And that makes 0-day releases of these games impossible, which is all these companies care for, since there is more than enough sheep among the FOMO generation who can’t wait to experience a broken game upon launch…
if only they cared about finishing the game before releasing it.
We are not in the 90’s anymore.
qual-lah-tee-ass-hur-rance?
dat sounds like white supremacy fam.
Don’t forget it was rated for containing “Real Gambling” from the ESRB cancer.
I’ll maybe look at it in a few years, when it lands on Steam for £20.
That’s £20 too much, tbh.
Not even worth the time.
Hahaha. Assassin’s greed Back to boots.
As was expected
Ubisoft irself is cancer,now add denuvo on top of it UGH.
No amount of money will make me want to play another Ubishaft game.
Haven’t touched a single Ubishaft game since origins.

This is probably your best comment so far, congrats dagoat
The average IQ of people on the internet is probably around 70-75.
All you have to do is comment something like “I hate pedophiles”, or “treat other people the way you want to be treated”, and you’ll get drowned in likes and upvotes.
It’s not my job to satisfy low IQ people, and I don’t feel one way or another about likes and dislikes.
I hate pedophiles and i like to treat other people the way i want to be treated. Let’s see how much i get.
This is a gaming forum. You should talk sh*t about microtransactions or praise drm-free studios.
“I hate pedophiles” will work if you’re watching a crime video on Youtube.
For AC games i stopped on AC2 midway, ubisoft games in general i stopped playing Far Cry 5 midway.
I don’t even bother looking up their games, let alone pirating one.
AC games are all pure trash with no exception.
Then why did you played Origins of all AC games? Wanted to play as a n!gger?
Do you have to be racist? Disgusting piece of sh*t.
Lol what?! You complaining about racism now?!
Don’t go all goldfish on me now, boy.
You are such a disgusting human being.
Israel should nuke Palestine.
Fool that you are, israel nukes are aimed at european cities, maybe iran too, but not much.
I’m giving you 10 days to contemplate your past behavior and put an end to your racist ways. If you continue this behavior, I’m blocking you forever.
Forever is a long time indeed. Will fnd give in to dagoat’s demands or will fnd stand his ground and dare dagoat to block him? If fnd refuses to contemplate his ways will dagoat really block him forever?
Stay tuned for more…..

You can block me now if you want, i don’t mind.
Info from PCGW is placeholder.
These days, the website most of the time is dead, and outdated.
Time will tell what DRM they will use, on EGS there is no requirment to add info about DRM on store page.
And you really think that Ubisoft will release a game without Denuvo ? You know these guys never removed Denuvo from one of their games ? Not even once, damn even EA removed it a couple of times.
Ubisoft HQ :-
Boss : So how should we spend our budget on the new game ?
Guy 1 : More Micro transactions, New Suits , story content, DLC locked behind paywall xD
Boss : ヽ(͡◕ ͜ʖ ͡◕)ﾉ Noice
Guy 2 : Sir , spend it on harder DRM , Double or Triple security if possible (•‿•)
Boss : (＾▽＾) Amazing, thats why i hire you guys
Guy 3 : Sir, we can most of our budget if we dont change anything beside a map in the new game, people will still buy it ╰ (´꒳`) ╯
Boss : That’s True my Man, (¬‿¬)
Guy 4 : Sir , what if we focus on a single player experience like older Assassin Creed games, remove MT from game, as well as remove DRM, Coz if we really make a compelling game, people will buy it no matter what. We have been marked as the Mediocre Company in the gaming industry, we used to be the Best once.

This is awesome.
This likely is so very accurate! 😀
if you wrote that yourself thats some funny skit lmao
i mean they are not wrong, people still buy it, so why change their formula ?
best way to protest, are to not buy
Valhalla was for me one of the worse AC, but it the one that have been sold the most so….
Eat sh*t ubisoft
Larian Studios(Baldur’s Gate 3) Dearly Proof that you don’t need Draconian DRM to sell games.
DRM and it’s companies deserve bashing.
You’re a genius, companies should hire you.
DRM has nothing to do with selling games, it’s got to do with stopping people stealing your IP ….. It’s really no different than putting locks on your home and car to keep people from stealing them …..
I really don’t understand why people think they are ENTITLED to free stuff ……
Trolls trying
that you Sweeney?
Ubishite
why would anyone buy a ubisoft game at this point? Just play the last 3 games and its like you played the new one, ubisoft knows this which is why they keep the prices of old games high.
Microtransactions.
No buy.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/67629bb1bb1aa014e4be6910153adfe21f8257ac763feb3521fec6191303f736.png
goes way back to AC Black Flag every part of AC had it.
Yup …. The only real difference is now the store is built into the game itself (actually it’s part of the Connect App) instead of having to buy it through a browser
Great – DLS to Valhalla as a standalone game with full blown-up protection and microtransactions. Ubisoft never changes.
Coming from the shill of the store that encourages piracy
Good.
They have a right to protect their IP.
And as has been demostratred hundreds of times now, these DRMs have no impact whatsoever on performance

He’s probably a drone.
Have they confirmed / denied microtransactions yet?
It’s simple for me.
I will only consider a game where the developer comes out clearly stating that there will be no microtransactions. I want this in writing before the game launches.
Is the hidden blade DLC? Lol
II and Brotherhood were okay. Should have stopped there.
It’s pretty safe to assume the PC requirements will be the same as AC Valhalla
It’s probably also safe to assume it will have the same bugs and crashing issues
It’s also safe to assume that the only reason it went gold a week early is because Ubisoft is bleeding money hand over fist. They lost over half a billion last year and likely as much or even more so far this year
I don’t have any interest in Ubisoft but it’s kind of hard to miss all of the negative financial press they have received over the past year. Back in January they delayed Skull and Bones for the 6th time and cancelled 3 more unannounced games. They just can’t seem to get things done for a long while now.
Investors have certainly taken notice of this incompetence by upper management and as a result Ubisoft Shares have dropped 34% over the past year. Ubisoft really needs to get their sh*t together but imo they don’t know how to.
Don’t even care if it has Denuvo and whatever… the games work when you boot them. Doesn’t affect the gameplay. But it’s not on steam so I don’t plan to buy it until it is and $20. So whatever
🍿

Ubisoft logic: We will continue to make AC games less challenging! Enjoy!
