According to listings on the website of Japanese retailers, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will launch on 12 October 2023. This release date might very well be potentially true because Japanese retailers generally will not list a release date for a product unless it’s already official.

Japanese retailers don’t use placeholders. However, an official release date has not been officially announced by Ubisoft yet.

Japanese retailers have listed Assassin's Creed Mirage with an October 12 release date.

(Japanese retailers generally don't date a product unless official. In other words, placeholder dates aren't a thing.)

Earlier this month, other rumours have been corroborating this, saying that Ubisoft will launch Assassin’s Creed Mirage on 12 October 2023. That’s according to French Assassin’s Creed data miner and leaker j0nathan, who made the alleged claim in a recent YouTube video.

It was only last year in September 2023 that Ubisoft confirmed Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be the next game in the series.

We still know next to nothing about the game, except that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be set in 9th-century Baghdad and is described as a back to roots gameplay from earlier games in the franchise. Development of the game is being led by Ubisoft Bordeaux, the studio behind Assassin’s Creed Valhalla‘s Wrath Of The Druids expansion DLC.

We’ll probably learn more at the Ubisoft Forward 2023 on 13 June 2023.

In other recent news, Ubisoft also announced that they plan to increase the size of the Assassin’s Creed development team.
