Fans of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise were treated with a brand new installment, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, in October 2023. And now, the developers have announced that the New Game Mode will soon be added to the game.
Assassin’s Creed was released on October 5, 2023, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and the PC platform. The game received highly positive reviews on launch with fans believing that the game takes the Assassin’s Creed series back to its roots.
The developers had earlier announced that they would introduce a New Game Plus mode to Assassin’s Creed Mirage. However, back then Ubisoft only said that the new game mode would arrive sometime in December, without an exact date.
Meanwhile, fans who had already completed the 20-hour-long game were waiting to revisit the game. Recently, Ubisoft confirmed the coming of the game mode on their official Assassin’s Creed X handle.
When Is Assassin’s Creed Mirage Getting a New Game Plus?
Ubisoft officially confirmed the previously announced New Game+ update for Assassin’s Creed Mirage. However, notably, they haven’t revealed the exact date yet. In their social media post, the devs stated that the new game plus mode will arrive via a PS5, and PS4 patch coming at some point next week.
“New Game + for Assassin’s Creed Mirage is coming next week! Dive back into Basim’s journey with your current progression and new rewards,” the post read.

The New Game Plus mode will let players carry their progress, unlocks, as well as items into a fresh new playthrough. Besides in the post, they also teased that the second visit around Baghdad will include “new rewards”.
Permadeath option in Assassin’s Creed Mirage
With the earlier announcement of the arrival of New Game Plus mode in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the devs had also announced that the game would be a permadeath option. This permadeath option would be made available across all difficulties to let players experience the real challenge when going through the game.
In the latest post, the devs also shed light on the permadeath option. Looks like the feature is not ready quite yet, since the devs plan on releasing it sometime in early 2024. The post read, “The team is still working on the permadeath mode, which is expected to release in an update early 2024. Stay tuned!”
This means that the permadeath mode for Assassin’s Creed Mirage is still on its way, and will likely now arrive as part of an update in early 2024. Thus players will have to keep an eye out for that update.
