Ubisoft is adding the fan-favorite outfit dyeing feature from older games in the series toAssassin’s Creed Mirage. This feature coming toAssassin’s Creed Miragewas last seen inAssassin’s Creed 2andAssassin’s Creed Brotherhood, which were released more than a decade ago.Outfits or character cosmetics inAssassin’s Creedtitles have changed over the years as the story progressed through different eras. One key difference is that the older titles, especially theAssassin’s Creedgames that featured Ezio Auditore, didn’t have a season pass system that would let players unlock more character skins and other cosmetic items. WithAssassin’s Creed 2andBrotherhood, Ubisoft introduced a dyeing feature that quickly gained popularity among fans, but it wasn’t a part of the games that followed. Now, the popular feature is set to make a comeback withAssassin’s Creed Mirage.RELATED:Ubisoft Reportedly Working on 11 Assassin’s Creed TitlesIn a post on Twitter, the officialAssassin’s Creed Mirageaccount posted a video announcing the return of the outfit dyeing feature. It gave a glimpse at the different hues players will be able to choose from to make their gameplay experience more personalized. Additionally, a behind-the-scenes video also revealed that Basim, the game’s main protagonist, will have different outfits according to the stages of his training. For instance, he will don a white outfit during his apprentice stage and will also eventually get the red sash once he becomes a master. Developers confirmed that this is the same red sash that was seen onBasim inAssassin’s Creed Valhalla.
WithMirage, Ubisoft is also bringing back some other features from older titles in theAssassin’s Creedfranchise. For instance, the game will let players enable a desaturatedblue-grey color palette similar toAssassin’s Creed 1to rekindle the nostalgia of the series’ very first game. Additionally,Miragealso sees the return of social stealth, a feature that was a staple during the Ezio saga, where Basim will also be able to pay off certain factions to let him blend in and vanish.
There are several new additions toMirage’s combat mechanics as well. For example, Basim will be able to perform Chain Assassinations in the game, a feature that is seemingly borrowed fromUbisoft’sSplinter Cell Blacklist. There are also several new stealth gadgets being introduced that will help Basim perform unique assassinations or vanish in tricky situations. In addition to this, the parry mechanics inMiragehave also been tweaked compared to older games, where it is now seemingly easier to stagger and finish off enemies with a perfect parry.
Assassin’s Creed Mirageis set to release on June 02, 2025 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
