UBISOFT PARTNERS WITH RENOWNED INSTITUTIONS TO BRING “HISTORY OF BAGHDAD” FEATURE TO ASSASSIN’S CREED MIRAGE

Discover Imagery Sourced from the Collections of The David Collection, the Institut du monde arabe (IMA), The Khalili Collections, and Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design

Sydney, Australia – July 6, 2023 – Today, Ubisoft announced partnerships with several renowned institutions to bring to life the “History of Baghdad” feature in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the upcoming installment in the Assassin’s Creed® franchise launching worldwide on October 12, 2023. Available at launch on all available platforms as part of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, “History of Baghdad” offers players an interactive way to learn more about the game’s rich setting.

Within the game’s immersive recreation of Baghdad, players can discover a total of sixty-six historical sites, each serving as a portal to valuable insights about the era, divided into five categories: Art & Science; Beliefs and Daily Life; Court Life; Economy; and Government. Each entry has been crafted in collaboration with historians and expert advisors and is illustrated by images carefully selected amongst the collections of eminent museums and institutions worldwide, including The David Collection, the Institut du monde arabe (IMA), The Khalili Collections, and Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design.

The David Collection is an exclusive museum in the heart of Copenhagen with one of the most comprehensive collections of Islamic art in the Western world. Among the objects from The David Collection featured in “History of Baghdad” is the magnificent ivory-carved Casket with gilt-bronze fittings.

For more than thirty years, the Institut du monde arabe in Paris (IMA) has established itself as a cultural bridge between France, the Arab world, and the rest of the world. This architectural vessel acts as an activator of cultures and has thus become an essential landmark for people concerned with the Arab worlds.  One of the objects from IMA featured in Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the exquisite Ruby Lustre Bowl.

Over the course of five decades, Professor Sir Nasser D. Khalili has assembled eight of the world’s finest art collections. Together, the Eight Collections comprise some 35,000 works, many of which have been exhibited at prestigious institutions worldwide. One of these Collections is dedicated to Islamic Art with holdings of more than 28,000 objects. Among the objects from The Khalili Collections featured in the game is their fascinating Planispheric Astrolabe.

Shangri La Museum of Islamic Art, Culture & Design is the Honolulu-based center of the Doris Duke Foundation. Built by Doris Duke in 1937 as a home, today Shangri La is a place that enriches public understanding of Islamic art and cultures, champions artists through residency programs, and serves as a place for personal and societal transformation. One of the objects from Shangri La featured in “History of Baghdad” is the astonishing  Blown Glass Jar with Trailed Zigzag Decoration.

“Assassin’s Creed always strives to be a gateway for players to discover more about the fascinating historical setting and eras it explores.” says Thierry Noël, Head of Ubisoft’s Humanities & Inspiration Department. “With information curated by experts, “History of Baghdad” offers a research-based perspective over 9th century Baghdad and the Abbasid Empire, tackling pre-conceptions and clichés often associated with them. Our collaboration with esteemed partners and experts to bring this feature to life in Assassin’s Creed Mirage further highlights the commitment to authenticity and accuracy that is a hallmark of the series.”

The contributions of advisors; Dr Glaire Anderson, expert in Islamic art, and the Digital Lab for Islamic Visual Culture & Collections of the University of Edinburgh; Dr Vanessa Van Renterghem, specialist of medieval Baghdad; Dr Ali Olomi, Scholar of Islamic History; and Dr Raphaël Weyland, expert of Islamic history who joined Ubisoft for the game’s creation; were critical for the recreation of Baghdad in Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the “History of Baghdad” feature.

For more information about the feature, the contribution of each partner, and the collaborative efforts of the team with advisors in bringing this project to life, please visit: https://ubisoft.com/r/acm_history_of_baghdad.

With development led* by Ubisoft Bordeaux, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an homage to the series, and a particularly special tribute to the first Assassin’s Creed. Inviting players in a magnificent ninth-century Baghdad at the peak of its Golden Age, Assassin’s Creed Mirage offers a condensed, narrative-driven action-adventure experience with a modern take on the parkour, stealth, and assassinations gameplay elements that have defined the franchise for over fifteen years. Assassin’s Creed: Mirage is available for pre-order on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, and Luna, as well as on Windows PC through the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store. Players can also subscribe to Ubisoft+* to access the game at launch.

Nicolas Cage Gives the Performance of a Lifetime in Dead by Daylight

Montréal, CANADA – July 5, 2023 – The wait is over. Starting today, gaming fans and movie enthusiasts alike can personify the iconic actor Nicolas Cage in the Public Test Build, available only on Steam, as a destined Survivor fighting for his life in Dead by Daylight. This marks the first time that a public figure joins the game, playing a fictionalized version of himself.

A Thespian in the Entity’s Cage

After countless awards and over one hundred movies shot across the globe, Nicolas Cage had seen it all and done it all – or so he thought. While on set filming the role of a lifetime, his performance summoned The Entity, a malevolent being of incomprehensible power. The actor soon found himself cast in otherworldly Fog, forced to survive a host of terrifying Killers deadlier than even the most scathing film critic.

A Performance to Die for

Fans have watched him – now they can become him, enjoying three brand-new character Perks that open the door for engaging new gameplay:

  • With Dramaturgy, players will allow their instincts to take over during moments of heightened intensity. They might not be able to predict the outcome, but that’s what makes it so thrilling, isn’t it? 
  • Every actor needs a Scene Partner. When using this Perk, staring at the Killer will grant players a deeper insight into their process, allowing them to better anticipate their next move.  
  • Finally – a Plot Twist in the third act can really breathe new life into film and Trial alike. Players will use their second-to-none acting ability to get deeper into character than ever before, making a bold decision that’s as risky as it is rewarding.

A Legend Amongst Legends

Nicolas Cage is an actor, director, and producer whose remarkable versatility has led to great success across all genres for over four decades. Cage’s work has been tremendously well received by both audiences and critics alike.

To say we are thrilled to have Nicolas Cage join the gaming world for the first time with Dead by Daylight is an understatement,” says Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships for Behaviour Interactive. “Mr. Cage recorded all his voice lines and was involved every step of the way; his dedication to his craft and professionalism is unmatched. We feel very privileged to have him and to our players: you’re in for a treat!

Nicolas Cage is available to play in the Public Test Build Now, on Steam only. The Dead by Daylight: Nicolas Cage Chapter will be available for purchase on July 25, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. (EDT) and the exclusive Dead by Daylight: Nicolas Cage Chapter Pack at the same time on Steam, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Epic Games Store, Windows Store, and Nintendo Switch. Dead by Daylight has an ESRB rating of “M” for Mature.
