The most recent release in the franchise (aside from the VR-exclusive Assassin's Creed Nexus), Assassin's Creed Mirage was intended to be a return to basics for those longing to go back to the early action-adventure days of the franchise. Using the guise of a celebration of the franchise's 15th anniversary, Assassin's Creed Mirage hearkened back to the original 2007 entry by bringing stealth and parkour back to the forefront of gameplay, and limiting the number of RPG mechanics in the game. Mirage reviewed fairly well upon its September 2023 release and appeared to have met Ubisoft's sales expectations, but that was the last fans heard of it.
