Ubisoft continues to build excitement for Assassin's Creed Mirage with a new story trailer and a wealth of new details. As part of their promotional efforts, they've unveiled a comprehensive list of accessibility features for the upcoming action RPG.

According to Jonathan Bedard, User Experience Director, the development of Mirage presented an opportunity to refine and expand upon existing accessibility features.

"Because of the way we changed our production, lots of things got rebuilt, which gave us the chance to review some of the elements that were not performing as well as we expected," Bedard explains. "Some of those got a tune-up, some were redesigned, some were just purely an interface thing, and then in other cases, actually changing the feature itself in a way that brought it up to a higher standard with our production and within the game experience."

Assassin's Creed Mirage boasts an extensive array of accessibility options, ranging from fundamental settings like aim assist, subtitles, and HUD customization, to more involved features such as simplified combat and exploration modes, along with four distinct difficulty levels for both combat and stealth gameplay.

Players can also expect numerous camera customization options, audio descriptions for cutscenes, screen narration, colorblind modes, in-game tutorials within the Codex, and fully remappable controls. A complete list of accessibility features is provided below.

Assassin's Creed Mirage launches on March 20th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, alongside the release of the Animus Core.
