It remains to be seen whether the change will also be noticeable in terms of graphics quality and performance. In the recently released trailer you can only see render scenes – fans are currently still waiting for real gameplay. It's quite possible that it is on the next Ubisoft Forward can be seen. This will take place on June 10, 2024. Assassin's Creed fans don't have to wait too long anymore.

A direct price comparison with the much newer Assassin's Creed Mirage (test) is not advisable in this case, as Mirage is a smaller spin-off that was originally planned as DLC for Valhalla.
Accordingly, Ubisoft lowered the selling price slightly. Mirage regularly costs 49.99 euros on all platforms. PC players can currently secure the current adventure in the action-adventure series for a paltry 14.99 euros as there is a big sale in the Ubisoft Store.
