- Discovery Tour: Medieval Baghdad delivers an educational twist on Assassin's Creed: Mirage
- This standalone experience shifts focus to historical learning
- Designed as a completely violence-free educational tool about medieval history
For the complete Assassin's Creed: Mirage experience on mobile, you'll need a recent iPhone model. However, Sugar Creative's upcoming Discovery Tour: Medieval Baghdad offers a compelling educational alternative.
Many fans would agree that historical learning has always been a standout feature of the Assassin's Creed franchise. Who hasn't spent hours exploring Renaissance Italy through Assassin's Creed II's codex entries? Even later installments like Origins provided immersive glimpses into ancient civilizations.
Discovery Tour: Medieval Baghdad transforms Mirage's world into something resembling Disco Elysium Mobile - an interactive visual novel packed with puzzles and historical documentation. It maintains the series' trademark intrigue while prioritizing educational content about medieval Baghdad.
Beyond the violence
Parents can rest easy - there's no actual assassinating here. Sugar Creative collaborated with eight museums to align the content with school curricula. Expect stealth gameplay and puzzle-solving rather than combat.
While longtime fans might miss the franchise's signature action sequences, Discovery Tour strengthens Assassin's Creed's historical foundations. Now if only developers could revisit those convoluted Animus storylines...
Though it didn't make our featured list, Discovery Tour joins an exciting wave of quality mobile releases. Curious what else is coming? Explore our 2025 lineup of most anticipated mobile games.
