Assassin’s Creed Mirage Releases Update 1.0.7

• Assassin’s Creed Mirage introduces the challenging Full Synchronization Challenge mode for players looking for a ruthless experience
• Rewards for completing the challenge range from new emblems to the Rayhan costume and dyes for existing outfits
• The update also adds a new outfit feature, allowing players to wear any costume as an outfit, and a new Easter egg to discover

Assassin’s Creed Mirage fans have received an unexpected update to the title, featuring the launch of an all-new game mode and a plethora of other features. This is Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s first major update after Update 1.0.6, which was released a couple of months back and added New Game Plus alongside several other things.

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has witnessed several changes over the years, with Origins marking an inflection point for the series. While the RPG elements blended with the stealth mechanics managed to carve out its own niche, diehard fans were still looking for a game that echoed the soul of the franchise. With Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the series once again went back to its roots, embracing a more linear experience than its recent predecessors. Despite Assassin’s Creed Mirage garnering mixed reception from the community, the developers have been actively releasing updates for the game.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Doesn’t Hold a Candle to the Ezio Trilogy

Assassin’s Creed Mirage seemed like the return to roots fans had been asking for, but in trying to achieve that it’s taken too many steps backward.

As part of its latest update, Ubisoft Bordeaux is making a series of changes to the title, most notable of all being the all-new Full Synchronization Challenge. Also known as the permadeath mode, it will allow players to partake in a ruthless experience where dying or even committing illegal actions like killing citizens would mean that they will have to start the game all over again. Basically, any act that desynchronizes them from the Animus will also delete their saved file as well. This mode will only be available for new playthroughs, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s cross-progression/cloud saves features will be disabled for this mode.

Depending on which difficulty players complete the Full Synchronization challenge, the rewards can be quite lucrative, ranging from new emblems to the Rayhan costume, new dyes, and much more. Apart from that, players can now equip any outfit as a costume in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, also known as transmog. This feature was requested a lot at launch since it basically allows players to wear any costume and use the abilities of a different outfit altogether.

Furthermore, the update also adds a new Easter egg, which can be found “purrusing” in the streets, according to the developers. Fans are eagerly looking forward to discovering this Easter egg, considering that the developers had previously added a fan’s cat whose face resembled the Assassin’s Creed logo to the game. Apart from that, there are a plethora of other bug fixes, most of which are focused on the New Game Plus mode. Here are the complete patch notes of the update.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Update 1.0.7 Patch Notes

NEW ADDITIONS

FULL SYNCHRONIZATION CHALLENGE

Do you think you’ve experienced everything Assassin’s Creed Mirage has to offer? Our newest game mode Full Synchronization Challenge (a.k.a. permadeath) is the ultimate test of your assassin skills.

When enabled, Basim will desynchronize from the animus if he dies, or if he commits illegal actions (e.g. killing citizens, going outside of authorized map locations).

When Basim desynchronizes from the animus, instead of the usual desynchronized reload screen, a new display appears showing statistics of gameplay time, total amount of conflicts, cause of the death, number of enemies killed, assassin rank and difficulty chosen to play.

There are no second chances – your save file will be permanently deleted, so perfect your skills to keep Basim alive!

Additional details:

• You can enable the Full Synchronization Challenge when starting a new game from the title screen.
• Full Synchronization Challenge cannot be enabled or disabled when the game has started.
• Cross-progression AND Cloud saves will be disabled when starting permadeath.

FULL SYNCHRONIZATION CHALLENGE REWARDS
