Description:
The Assassin's Creed team has released a number of interesting player stats 
from the first week of Assassin's Creed Mirage.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Assassins Creed Mirage was only released last week, but in a matter of days, 
its players have somehow managed to spend about half a millennium parkouring 
around the games city of Baghdad. 

To be exact: in six days, players spent a grand total of 479 years performing 
slick moves and bouncing around the citys rooftops. This fact was revealed by 
the official Assassins Creed account on Twitter yesterday (October 11), as 
part of a statement that thanked fans for joining us on this incredible 
journey that celebrates, honors, and builds upon the 15-year legacy of the 
Assassins Creed series. 

In the same message, it was confirmed that Mirage is Ubisofts biggest 
current-gen game launch when looking at its sales on PS5 and Xbox Series X 
|S. The total number of players, it said, is in line with the launches of 
Assassins Creed Odyssey and Origins . The Assassins Creed team said it is 
humbled by the positive reception. Thank you all for joining us on Basim's 
journey in 9th Century Baghdad! We are thrilled by the response from the 
community and for embracing our homage to the roots of the AC franchise.

Otherwise, players managed to perform about 60 million Leaps of Faith, and 
most importantly, pet around 1.2 million street cats. Again, this is within a 
six-day timeframe, so its all pretty impressive stuff. 

Speaking of cats, it was recently spotted by fans that one of the feline 
friends in Mirage appears to be hiding an Easter egg right on their snout . 
Namely, it appears that the kittys facial markings are meant to resemble the 
Assassin insignia - with a dark teardrop-like marking on their nose, and 
white fur surrounding it. 

Whether it was an intentional nod or not, its also been pointed out that this 
in-game cat looks a whole lot like one fans real-life cat, who was requested 
to be added to the game ahead of its release. This hasnt been confirmed, 
though - we previously reached out to Ubisoft for comment.
