Assassin’s Creed Mirage update 1.0.7 introduces permadeath, patch notes and more

Ubisoft has officially rolled out the latest update for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, 1.0.7, across all platforms. As of February 20, players are treated to many new features, improvements, and the much-anticipated permadeath mode, enriching the gameplay with fresh challenges and rewards.

The update weighs in at 4.85GB on PC and introduces the Full Synchronization Challenge, which presents a permadeath mechanic to the game. When activated, players must navigate the game with the utmost caution. Basim’s death or committing illegal actions will result in desynchronization from the animus and permanent deletion of the saved file.

The update also teases the addition of a surprise easter egg, a special assassin roaming the streets of the game’s world. This mysterious figure invites players to explore and discover new secrets hidden within the game’s expansive environment.
