Assassin's Creed Mirage Unleashes 'Catsassin': The Feline Easter Egg That Has Fans Purring with Delight

A keen-eyed fan of Assassin's Creed Mirage recently made an intriguing discovery involving one of the game's feline companions. The 13th installment in the Assassin's Creed series delves into Basim's backstory and returns the narrative to the Middle East, earning praise from players and critics alike who view it as a homage to the franchise's earlier titles.

Launched on October 5, Assassin's Creed Mirage garnered predominantly positive reviews, with particular acclaim for its parkour and stealth mechanics. Despite Ubisoft facing criticism for incorporating the controversial Denuvo DRM into the game, it appears that this decision did not significantly impact the game's overall reception. Many players have been thoroughly exploring the game's world, uncovering secrets, including the charming cats scattered throughout.

One of these cats in Assassin's Creed Mirage boasts a peculiar detail on its nose. A Reddit user, known as suckashelfboi101, stumbled upon a tabby cat with a fur pattern that strikingly resembled the Assassin's Creed logo. A fellow user in the comments corroborated this finding, noting that a real cat with a similar pattern had been shared on social media. It appears that Ubisoft developers paid homage to this unique feline, which had sadly passed away.

Fans of Assassin's Creed Mirage affectionately dubbed this cat the "catsassin" and expressed their delight at its discovery. Many began inquiring about its location within the game, eager to witness the Assassin's Creed logo on its nose for themselves. Meanwhile, newer players were pleasantly surprised to learn that Basim, the protagonist, could interact with and pet these cats in the game.

This isn't the first instance of an Assassin's Creed game spotlighting animals. In Assassin's Creed 3, players could bestow an Assassin's hood upon any turkey by entering a code using their controllers, a memorable Easter egg referenced by one Reddit user in response to suckashelfboi101's post. They suggested that the Assassin's Creed Mirage cat could be an adorable successor to Assassin's Creed 3's turkeys.

Although Assassin's Creed Mirage is relatively new, dedicated players are likely to uncover more intriguing Easter eggs within the game. Past titles in the series, such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla, have featured references from various franchises like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, as well as nods to iconic games like Dark Souls. As players continue to explore the world of Assassin's Creed Mirage, it will be fascinating to see what hidden details they unearth during their adventures.
