What is the name of the first Assassin's Creed game set primarily in Baghdad?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Mirage is the first Assassin's Creed game set primarily in Baghdad.

Released in 2023, Mirage follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a young street thief who becomes an Assassin. The game is set in ninth-century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age, with the city serving as the central hub for missions, investigations, and movement through the environment.

Mirage was designed as a smaller, more stealth-focused experience than several preceding open-world role-playing games. Its structure and gameplay deliberately recall earlier Assassin's Creed entries, emphasizing social stealth, investigation, parkour, and targeted assassinations.

Baghdad is important to the wider franchise because Basim also appears in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Mirage tells the earlier part of his life and explains his rise within the Hidden Ones. It should not be confused with Revelations, which is mainly associated with Constantinople.
