The tweet claims that the new Assassin's Creed, currently named Rift, will actually be called Assassin's Creed Mirage. Additionally, the gameplay will take place in Baghdad as previously suggested in July. Other key suggestions are that the game will release in the spring of 2023 and take a much more “back to basics” approach to gameplay.

Someone familiar tells me that parts of this new Assassin's Creed leak are true (like the name and other things Bloomberg has already reported: Spring 23, Baghdad, back to AC bases) and other parts are not (“multiple cities to explore”) https://t.co/qmM6UZtKnG

Whether some of this information, if any of it, is actually true remains to be seen. However, it might not be long before we get some sort of confirmed update from Ubisoft on the actual direction of the upcoming game. future of the Assassin's Creed series at the upcoming Ubisoft Forward event on September 10.
