The anticipation for the upcoming Assassin's Creed game, Assassin's Creed Mirage, has been building for several months. However, recent reports suggest fans shouldn't expect too much.
Ubisoft has reportedly internally given Assassin's Creed Mirage a new release date instead of its rumored August release window. This is disappointing news for the first in a long line of new Assassin's Creed games that Ubisoft revealed last year.
According to trusted sources, the main reason for the game's delay is to improve the overall gaming experience. We can only presume that the development team believes that it needs the extra time to refine the game's mechanics, visuals, and narrative, which is ultimately good news. A more polished new Assasssin's Creed entry bodes well for a truly immersive and satisfying experience for all players.
While fans are understandably frustrated by the delay, the commitment to quality over speed is much appreciated.
Of course, delaying a game doesn't always guarantee that the product comes out spotless. The Last of Us Part 1, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Redfall, are examples of games that were delayed by weeks if not months for further polishing only to come out with performance issues.
