Assassin’s Creed Mirage finally adds permadeath mode after several delays.
Last year, Assassin’s Creed Mirage fans were looking forward to permadeath mode before developer Ubisoft announced that it would have to push the update out of 2023. Fortunately, players did get New Game Plus mode last year, but permadeath has been the thing players have wanted since it was announced. After a few extra months of waiting, the permadeath update for Assassin’s Creed Mirage will finally be available on February 20th. The “Full Synchronization Challenge” is going to test players’ mettle, as your save file is automatically deleted when you desynchronize from the animus. Anyone who can get through mode will earn different cosmetics depending on what difficulty you’re playing on.
Update 1.0.7 is more than just permadeath mode. Mirage players will also have access to a new feature that lets you switch to any costume. This Transmog feature opens up your cosmetic options. Meanwhile, Ubisoft is also hinting at a new Easter egg featuring cats for players to uncover. Plus, there are several new bug fixes to iron out some of the issues that have been plaguing the game for the last few weeks. This includes a few fixes for the New Game Plus mode, which should make it much easier to quickly skip through some of the downtime.
Below, you’ll find the full patch notes for Update 1.0.7. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.

NEW ADDITIONS
FULL SYNCHRONIZATION CHALLENGE
Do you think you’ve experienced everything Assassin’s Creed Mirage has to offer? Our newest game mode Full Synchronization Challenge (a.k.a. permadeath) is the ultimate test of your assassin skills.
When enabled, Basim will desynchronize from the animus if he dies, or if he commits illegal actions (e.g. killing citizens, going outside of authorized map locations).
When Basim desynchronizes from the animus, instead of the usual desynchronized reload screen, a new display appears showing statistics of gameplay time, total amount of conflicts, cause of the death, number of enemies killed, assassin rank and difficulty chosen to play.
There are no second chances – your save file will be permanently deleted, so perfect your skills to keep Basim alive!
Additional details:
- You can enable the Full Synchronization Challenge when starting a new game from the title screen.
- Full Synchronization Challenge cannot be enabled or disabled when the game has started.
- Cross-progression AND Cloud saves will be disabled when starting permadeath.
