“Assassin’s Creed Mirage” is set in 9th-century Baghdad and stars Basim Ibn Ishaq, a street thief who joins the Hidden Ones after a contract to steal a mysterious artefact goes awry, and his found family of tiny orphans is murdered. The game tells the backstory of Basim, a precursor to the Assassin Brotherhood. The story follows Basim as he seeks answers and justice while navigating the bustling streets of ninth-century Baghdad.

The game is principally set in 9th-century Baghdad during the anarchy at Samarra, and follows Basim Ibn Ishaq (a character first introduced in Valhalla) and his transition from street thief to fully-fledged member of the Assassin Brotherhood, who fight for peace and liberty, against the Templar Order. The game has been described as a return to the series’ roots, with a bigger focus on linear storytelling and stealth gameplay than more recent installments, which primarily focused on role-playing elements.

In the end, it is revealed that Nehal is actually Basim. In a Fight Club-like twist, it turns out that she’s an aspect of Basim’s personality that manifests as an imaginary friend. And so everything Nehal did, Basim did – right down to killing the Caliph. And this is where Mirage connects to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. In Valhalla, we learned that Basim is actually the reincarnation of Loki. Nehal represents the memories of the original Loki locked away inside Basim.
