A direct price comparison with the much newer Assassin's Creed Mirage (test) is not possible in this case, as Mirage is a smaller spin-off that was originally planned as DLC for Valhalla.
Accordingly, Ubisoft has reduced the retail price slightly. Mirage normally costs 49.99 euros on all platforms. PC gamers can currently get the latest adventure in the action-adventure series for a mere 14.99 euros, as there is a big sale in the Ubisoft Store.
