Assassin's Creed Mirage for iPhone 15 Pro and iPad Gets June Release Date

Assassin's Creed fans embedded into the Apple hardware ecosystem can rejoice, as Ubisoft announced today that Assassin's Creed Mirage for iOS and iPadOS will arrive in early June.


In a press release, Ubisoft revealed that Assassin's Creed Mirage will be released on June 6 for the iPhone 15 Pro series and iPad Air and Pro tablets powered by the M1 chip or newer. This will be the most recent port of Ubisoft's open-world game since its initial release on October 5. This will be the first time an Assassin's Creed game that was originally released on consoles and PC will be available natively on iOS and iPad.

Although pre-ordering is now available on the App Store, Ubisoft has not publicly shared how much this port will cost. However, it did reveal on the game's App Store listing what in-app purchases would be available and how much they would cost, as shown in the screenshot below.


The iOS and iPadOS version of Assassin's Creed Mirage was developed by Ubisoft Sofia, with Ubisoft noting that this port would include optimized touch controllers in addition to controller support, so players that own a Backbone One, for example, can use the peripheral to play this game on the go. This port will also include cross-save and cross-ownership, meaning iOS owners can access the game on iPad without double dipping and transfer their saves between those two devices.

Assassin's Creed Mirage was one of four games announced for the iPhone 15 Pro series during Apple's Wonderlust event, where the company unveiled the iPhone 15 series. Most interestingly, that particular Apple event revealed that the iPhone 15 Pro series would be powerful enough to deliver console-quality video games, thanks to its A17 Pro chip.
