Assassin’s Creed Mirage: The Return of Animus Glitches

Fans of the Assassin’s Creed series have something to rejoice about with the upcoming release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The latest game in the franchise is bringing back a beloved feature from the early days – Animus glitches. In a video from Access the Animus, the revival of this classic element caught the attention of fans, sparking excitement and nostalgia.

Animus glitches have been a part of the Assassin’s Creed series since its inception. In the original game, players had to keep an eye out for visual anomalies known as ‘Animus glitches’ and press a button to trigger them. This enabled players to change the camera’s perspective and earn a challenging Achievement or Trophy by collecting them all in a single playthrough.

Over time, Animus glitches evolved into a fully-functioning feature in later installments of the series. For example, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla introduced ‘Animus Glitches’ scattered throughout the in-game map. Discovering and activating these glitches would prompt players to solve puzzles. In Assassin’s Creed Origins, the glitches took on an even more fascinating role, allowing players to engage in battles against manifestations of ancient Egyptian Gods.

The news of Animus glitches making a comeback in Assassin’s Creed Mirage has generated a wave of enthusiasm within the community. A Reddit post received high praise from the community, with comments expressing appreciation for the developers’ decision to reintroduce this fan-favorite feature. One top-voted comment exclaims, “They really listened. Respect to Devs.” The glitch effect added to the ‘Assassin Focus’ ability perfectly captures the essence of a true Animus glitch and adds a realistic touch to the experience.

If we take into consideration the fact that we are playing Assassin’s Creed Mirage within a literal Animus, it only makes sense that glitches would occur. The visual glitch accompanying the execution of the ‘Assassin Focus’ ability not only enhances the gameplay visuals but also contributes to the immersion by creating the feeling of being a part of the Animus simulation.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to launch on October 5, much to the anticipation of players worldwide. The game has undergone extensive development and promises to bring parkour and stealth mechanics to the forefront, seamlessly blending them with modern gaming elements.
