Summary
Some eagle-eyedAssassin’s Creed Mirageplayers have noticed that one of the outfits in the game looks suspiciously like a Guardian fromDestiny 2.Assassin’s Creed Mirageputs players in the shoes of Basim Ibn Ishaq, and it turns out that gamers have one outfit that can make it seem like he’s from another universe entirely.
Assassin’s Creed Miragewas a return to the franchise’s roots, abandoning many of the features that the RPG titlesOrigins,Odyssey, andValhallaintroduced in favor of a more classic experience. It wasn’t perfect, but for most long-time fans of the series who didn’t love the directionAssassin’s Creedwas headed, it was a breath of fresh air. Despite this, some out there feel thatAssassin’s Creed Miragedoesn’t hold a candle to the Ezio trilogy. Every new iteration is always compared to previous releases in the series, and it’s hard for Ubisoft to please everyone at this point.
Redditor -Anonymous_- pointed out theoutfit inAssassin’s Creed Mirage, and there’s no denying that it could have been pulled straight from theDestinyfranchise, with its faceless mask arguably the biggest similarity on the surface. While the user never explicitly names the outfit, it is Milad’s Outfit, which can be unlocked by starting the quest “The Ancient Place” and collecting five of the mysterious shards that pop up around Baghdad as a result. There is then a chest that can be opened in a lake north of Baghdad using the shards, allowing players to collect Milad’s outfit and dress like they’ve been playingDestiny 2.
Destiny 2 Outfit in Assassin’s Creed Mirage
There were a few comments throughout the thread indicating that theDestinycomparison was worthwhile. One player claimed they “actually thought this was some ancient Destiny concept art,” and others had absolutely no idea that the image came from anAssassin’s Creedtitle. Milad’s outfit is definitely one of thebest outfits inAssassin’s Creed Mirage, coming with the Forgotten Terror perk, which causes Air Assassinations to set off a lightning flash to distract bystanders. Even without theDestinycomparison, it’s worth picking up for anyone playing through the game.
While theAssassin’s Creedfranchise seems to be heading back to the yearly release schedule it held throughout the 2010s this year withRed, that doesn’t mean that Ubisoft is abandoningMirageany time soon. Just a few days back, Ubisoft releasedUpdate 1.0.7 forAssassin’s Creed Mirage, bringing features such as a new permadeath mode into the game. Hopefully, the studio will continue to update the game, even as the release of the next iteration of the franchise draws closer.
