This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Assassin's Creed Mirage for Xbox One
Assassin's Creed Mirage for Xbox One follows Basim Ibn Ishaq in ninth-century Baghdad. He begins as a street thief haunted by troubling visions and joins the Hidden Ones. From their bureaus, you investigate targets, gather clues and work towards major assassinations. The compact city consists of busy markets, palaces, workshops and rooftops that offer many routes into a guarded area or back out without being seen.
Stealth takes centre stage. Basim can blend into crowds, pick pockets, lure guards with a whistle and use tools such as throwing knives and smoke bombs. Eagle Enkidu surveys the surroundings from the air, while Assassin's Focus lets him dispatch several marked enemies in quick succession. Open combat combines attacks, dodges and parries, but Basim is not a heavily armoured warrior. Careful observation and a planned route therefore often provide more control than a frontal assault.
Contracts and collectibles take you beyond the main case to different districts and the surrounding countryside. The campaign is for one player and can be completed as a self-contained story. According to the product title, this physical Xbox release supports Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S; performance and visual settings differ by console. The sealed copy offered here does not change the content of the standard game. Later free updates, online features or digital bonus codes are not promised as included or permanently usable.
Region and language
Our Xbox One games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
According to the product title, this physical Xbox release of Assassin's Creed Mirage supports Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The campaign is for one player; downloads, updates and account services can vary by console and over time.
Manual
Assassin's Creed Mirage for Xbox One was originally released without a paper manual. This edition therefore does not include a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item is missing from the original package.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Assassin's Creed Mirage
Ubisoft Bordeaux led Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Ubisoft released the game on 5 October 2023 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Windows. Basim had previously been an important character in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Mirage returns to his youth and shows how he grows from a restless thief from Anbar into a trained Hidden One in Baghdad during the Abbasid Caliphate.
After the expansive role-playing games Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla, the team chose a smaller map and a clearer rhythm of investigation, infiltration and escape. Black Box assassinations provide several entrances and opportunities without prescribing a single solution. Parkour through densely built districts, social stealth and a set of customisable tools deliberately recall the first Assassin's Creed, while the controls and progression follow the modern entries.
Mirage was originally released as a contained adventure and received additional updates later. The product page describes the main game sold on the Xbox disc, not features added only after the original release. The physical copy is sealed, but that does not change the distinction between disc content and any digital entitlements. A worldwide Arabic voice track was an important part of the presentation, alongside the usual European language options.
Similar games for Xbox One
Assassin's Creed Valhalla sends Eivor across a vast England to build settlements and form alliances. Mirage is more compact and follows Basim in one large city, with greater emphasis on entering unseen and carrying out targeted assassinations. Both entries connect Basim's story, but Valhalla uses extensive role-playing equipment and raids, whereas Mirage focuses on faster parkour and tools.
Assassin's Creed III Remastered follows Connor during the American Revolution and includes Liberation and solo stories alongside the main game. Mirage takes place centuries earlier and builds missions around the alleys and rooftops of Baghdad. Both reward observation and stealth, but Connor operates across frontier regions and large battles, while Basim more often uses social stealth, bureaus and research into a single target.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate presents a dense London with Jacob and Evie, carriages, a gang and a rope launcher. Mirage retains one protagonist and has no gang war, but it likewise uses an urban network of rooftops and guarded buildings. Syndicate offers immediate mobility with the rope, while Mirage asks you to read routes and combine tools to remain out of sight.
Hitman also revolves around studying targets and approaching a location by several routes. Agent 47 uses disguises, objects and carefully prepared accidents in separate missions; Basim moves through a continuous historical city and relies on parkour, hidden blades and the Hidden Ones. Mirage is more active during pursuits, while Hitman places greater weight on social puzzles and replayable scenarios.
Dishonored 2 gives players open levels, supernatural powers and choices between stealth and violence. Mirage shares the freedom to distract guards and enter by rooftops or side paths, but sticks to historical tools and an established Assassin's Creed world. Dishonored reacts more strongly to lethal choices; Mirage connects infiltrations to investigation, contracts and Basim's training.
