Like the original games, there will be stretches of linear mission chains, and then segments where you will be able to choose from a number of different available quests. Ubisoft says you can also expect the return of some classic parkour moves, including the corner swing, and for the pace of freerunning to be faster than in the older games. It is designed to be a modern take on the original gameplay template for the earlier Assassin's Creed games, with developer Ubisoft Bordeaux using the same three design pillars as the original game: stealth, parkour, and assassinations. Not many details were given, but it was said that they provide "opportunities to define the means and path to take down the next target." Much like the early entries in the series, this is a city-set game, and Baghdad is split into four different districts.

As for the future of the mainline series, Ubisoft shared a few details on the games that will come after Mirage. Elsewhere, the publisher provided a few more details on its Assassin’s Creed “Infinity” project, which appears to be an online hub of sorts that will connect the mainline games along with standalone multiplayer projects. Notably, Ubisoft says that the game will get back to the action-adventure roots of the series, which means that the RPG mechanics from more recent games will not be present. Ubisoft is developing the first open-world version of Assassin’s Creed for smartphones, currently dubbed “Jade,” which is set in ancient China and will let players customize their own character. Elsewhere, Ubisoft also says it’s working on an unnamed mobile title for Netflix’s gaming service, though there are no details on that right now.

The two will work closely, and it'll be interesting to see how their mentor-student relationship develops over the course of the game, especially as He will seek answers inside the brotherhood and Roshan will help answer them. Players begin as a street thief, go on their journey as an Assassin, and climb the ranks to Master, but it seems that the two will not always see eye to eye.
