Basim is a street thief in Baghdad who is taken in and trained by the Hidden Ones. The series deliberately shrinks back down here — one city, one blade, and stealth that matters again.

A city built for parkour

Four districts, dense and vertical, with crowds to disappear into and guards who actually investigate. Assassinations are planned rather than fought through.

Tools over stats

Throwing knives, smoke bombs, blowdarts and traps, plus Assassin's Focus for chaining kills. It is closer to the early games than anything Ubisoft has made in a decade.

What the edition adds

The Deluxe, Lightning, Jinn, Fire Demon, Master Assassin and Guardian packs — outfits, weapons, mount and eagle skins — plus a digital artbook, selected soundtrack, and Valley of Memory.
