Assassin’s Creed Mirage is about to get a big new update on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. Available at 1pm GMT UK time on February 20, update 1.07 introduces a permadeath mode, complete with a selection of new rewards. Ubisoft explains more: “When enabled, Basim will desynchronise from the animus if he dies, or if he commits illegal actions (e.g. killing citizens, going outside of authorised map locations). When Basim desynchronises from the animus, instead of the usual desynchronised reload screen, a new display appears showing statistics of gameplay time, total amount of conflicts, cause of the death, number of enemies killed, assassin rank and difficulty chosen to play.” Once you’re desynchronised your save file will be deleted. Players will receive rewards including new costumes, dyes and emblems for completing the game on each difficulty setting. Update 1.07 makes a variety of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, which can be seen in the patch notes below.
