Assassin's Creed Mirage is EXACTLY what I expected

[@MrHoll87]

Fun little tidbit about that boy who climbed up the tower and Basim goes up to help him. In their conversation, the boy tells Basim he didn't do it to get the attention of his friends, but to get the attention of the Hidden Ones, cause he knows they're watching and the real heroes looking out for the people and wants to be one of them some day. Basim tells the boy to come find the Hidden Ones when his voice starts to crack. After the boy jumps into the haystack, he and his friends run off. If you stick around long enough, you'll hear one of the kids call this boy Hytham, who is Basim's apprentice we meet in Valhalla.

There is a return to Allies within helping factions. More templars strong holds you remove, the more upgrades your factions get. And it takes place around 1860’s at least near the beginning so it is in a historical period which should be familiar to more than most. The only real thing I’d say the lacks in major combat changes.
