We aren’t petting enough cats inAssassin’s Creed Mirage. And I don’t say that in a memey, superficial way; I actually have data to back up my argument.
TheAssassin’s Creed Twitter accountrecently revealed that, six days after launch, Assassin’s Creed Mirage players have pet 1.2 million street cats, and while that might sound like a lot initially, it’s actually quite a pitiful number. According toUbisoft, a collective 479yearshave been spent parkouring through Baghdad and there have already been 60 million leaps of faith.With that context, you can start to see that 1.2 million cat pets is not nearly enough. Priorities people.
While we’re on the topic of Assassin’s Creed Mirage cats, if you play the game long enough, and do the right thing and pet the darn cats, you’ll eventually find one that has the Assassin’s Creed logo naturally printed on its face. And thanks toReddit, I also learned that the cat is actuallythe real-life petof an Assassin’s Creed fan who’d asked Ubisoft to include them in the game.
