Ubisoft will be releasing a haptic suit to immerse players in the combat experience of their upcomingAssassin’s Creed Mirage. The suit was made in partnership with OWO to help bring the story of Basim, the daring thief-turned-assassin, a little further into the real world by letting the player physically feel everythingAssassin’s Creed Miragehas to offer.
Assassin’s Creed Miragewill be a throwback video game, of sorts, as its aim is to abandon many of the RPG elements that have become a staple of the series in recent years in favor of the smaller, more focused action-adventure ambitions of the first game in the series. WhileMiragewill be missing some key parkour featuresthat have become popular with fans, its gameplay, setting, and even hugely scaled-back playtime will be more in line with the early days of the series.
