Multiple sources say the game is the Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla spin-off also known as Rift
Back in February, Alice O. highlighted an expansion planned forAssassin’s Creed: Valhallathat’s reportedly being spun-off into a standalone stealth game. At the time the project was being referred to as Rift, but multiple sources are now saying the game will be called Assassin’s Creed: Mirage. Both Bloomberg’sJason Schreierand Giant Bomb’sJeff Grubbsay they’ve been told by people familiar with the game that Mirage is accurate.
Rumours started circling about Rift/Mirage again after YouTuber j0nathan posted avideoover the weekend containing what he claims is information about the game. This was later picked up on Twitter byRebs Gaming. Schreier and Grubb both waded in to say they’d also heard the game will be called Mirage, with Schreier saying that his sources have lent weight to some aspects of j0nathan’s claims, but refuted others.
Schreier’s source disputed that the game formerly known as Rift would have multiple cities to explore, counter to what j0nathan had suggested. There was no comment on the bold claim that a remake of the original,horse-man starringAssassin’s Creed would be released as DLC for the game using assets from Mirage. However, Schreiersaidhe was “dubious” that a game originally planned as an expansion might receive its own DLC.
