The official reveal of Assassin's Creed Mirage caught the eyes of fans for many reasons. It promised engaging, stealth-based gameplay, mixed with some fun parkour, and a story revolving around the Hidden Ones, proper assassinations, and fan-favorite character Basim. Another interesting element was seen in Basim's Kill Room, the scenes that play after assassinations, where a Djinn rose to haunt him. Basim seeks out the Hidden Ones to find answers to his visions, with it seeming this creature is at the fore of his issues. Many assumed that the Djinn was Loki's consciousness trying to surface in Basim, but narrative director Sarah Beaulieu confirmed that the theories presented (at the time) were not yet close.
