Titled Mirage, the latest version of the game is rumoured to be taking place in Baghdad, with what appears to be Basim Ibn Ishaq featured as the main character, who will be a familiar face to anyone who has played the previous title in the series,Valhalla.
It’s long been rumoured that Ubisoft was planning to release a standalone game featuring Basim as a member of the “Hidden Ones” before he joins Sigurd in his voyage to England during the events of the previous game.
The leaked images also seem to show additional content titled “Forty Thieves”, which could be a reference to a story featured in One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of folk tales written in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age.
Ubisoft also announced plans to reveal a new trailer during its upcoming Ubisoft Forward event. Read on to find out how to watch it and when it starts.
