Is Assassin’s Creed Mirage An Open-World Game?

Assassin’s Creed may have established itself in recent years as an enormous open-world franchise, but the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage looks like it may not fit in exactly the same mold. The first of several upcoming Assassin’s Creed games and the only one to have yet received gameplay and story showcases, Mirage takes the franchise back to the Middle East in the shoes of the new protagonist, Basim Ibn Ishaq. The setting of the game looks to be as dynamic and detailed as ever, but it may not offer the same scope and explorative freedom fans have more recently come to expect from AC.
