Ubisoft released a free Discovery Tour app focused on the history of 9th-century Baghdad and built from Assassin's Creed Mirage assets. The app reworks the Mirage map into a two-hour narrative adventure and supplies encyclopedic entries on the history, art, and culture of medieval Baghdad and the Abbasid Caliphate. An augmented reality feature allows viewing 3D models of famous artifacts. Assassin's Creed Mirage originally launched in 2023 without the in-game Discovery Tour mode that debuted in Assassin's Creed Origins (2017). The free offering departs from Ubisoft's traditional paid model. The game franchise has recently been reorganized into a Tencent-partially funded subsidiary and faces future live-service plans.
Ubisoft is releasing a free Discovery Tour app covering the history of Baghdad, the setting of Assassin's Creed Mirage. The game launched in 2023 without Ubisoft's "Discovery Tour" feature, a mode that's previously been packed into Assassin's Creed games - starting with 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins - and uses the game's open-world maps and character models to illustrate the history and cultural specifics of their chosen setting.
This new app takes a slightly different approach, reworking the map of Assassin's Creed Mirage to deliver a two hour narrative adventure set in 9th century Baghdad. The Discovery Tour app also includes "encyclopedic entries on the history, art, and culture of medieval Baghdad and the Abbasid Caliphate" and an augmented reality feature that lets you view 3D models of famous artifacts.
It's a bit unusual the app is being offered for free when Ubisoft has traditionally charged for Assassin's Creed games or its standalone Discovery Tour apps, but maybe that reflects Assassin's Creed Mirage's unique place in the series. The game was pitched as a back-to-basics stealth game without the open-world fluff of past games, and largely delivered.
