A camera glitch in Assassin's Creed Mirage transforms the game into an isometric RPG, leading fans to petition its maker, Ubisoft, to make the glitch a feature.


Assassin's Creed Mirage Turns Isometric Due to Glitch

Assassin's Creed Mirage, a traditional third-person stealth game, has taken on a new guise due to a camera glitch, transforming the gameplay into an isometric perspective. This perspective change, reminiscent of games like Diablo or Prince of Persia, has struck a chord with players, who are now clamouring to make it an optional feature.

A video posted on Reddit captured the glitch in action, showing an Assassin's Creed Mirage player nimbly navigating rooftops. The camera followed the protagonist from a semi-isometric viewpoint, rather than the usual third-person view. Redditor SplashDMG126, the one who shared the video, commented, "Encountered a camera glitch that makes me want to play an isometric AC". This sentiment seems to resonate with other players who view the glitch as an unexpected enhancement to gameplay.

The isometric perspective, typically seen in strategy and RPG games, offers a zoomed-out view that provides a broader vista of the gaming environment. It adds a cinematic quality to the gameplay, which seems to appeal to many players. It seems that getting a taste of Assassin's Creed Mirage in this new view has made it difficult for some gamers to return to its original third-person perspective.

The glitch has attracted a lot of attention and commentary from the Assassin's Creed gaming community. Many of the comments on the video shared on Reddit expressed admiration for the unexpected feature. Comments ranged from simple expressions of awe like "HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL" to requests on how they can experience the same glitch in their gameplay, with comments like "We need to petition this to Ubi to get this as a camera mode option".

While many expressed hope for the glitch to become a permanent feature, it remains to be seen whether game makers Ubisoft will respond positively to these requests. The desire and demand are evident, but the feasibility of incorporating this into the official game format is uncertain.

However, it's not unheard of for modders in the gaming community to introduce changes based on player preference. Such optional modifications, or "mods," often add elements to a game that weren't part of the original release, like new perspectives, characters, or gameplay modes. Given the significant positive response to the isometric perspective glitch, it's plausible that a modder may take up the task of making it an accessible feature, especially if Ubisoft chooses not to.

The discovery of the glitch and the subsequent reaction from the gaming community is a testament to the fluid and dynamic nature of video games. What is initially perceived as a programming flaw may unintentionally provide innovation, transforming player experience in unexpected ways. In this case, the camera glitch in Assassin's Creed Mirage has sparked off a communal request for a new perspective in the game, thrilling players with a whole new way to navigate their beloved game world. Whether Ubisoft chooses to respond to this outcry is yet to be seen.
