Two of the Greatest Assassin’s Creed Games Are Coming to Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime will add Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Assassin’s Creed Mirage to its Luna cloud-gaming library later this month, although Amazon has not given a specific date. The additions matter because they offer Prime members access to two prominent recent entries in the series: the expansive Viking-era role-playing game Valhalla and the more stealth-focused Mirage.
Valhalla, released for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X generation, follows a ninth-century Viking raider drawn into the Assassin–Templar conflict, while Mirage is a prequel centred on Basim in Baghdad and returns to smaller, more layered assassination missions. Luna has also added Disney/Pixar Brave: The Video Game and Bluey: The Videogame, while Prime members can claim 12 PC games during August through codes for services including GOG, the Epic Games Store and Amazon Games App; redeemed games remain accessible after a Prime subscription ends.
In short
- Valhalla and Mirage join Amazon Luna later this month.
- The games offer contrasting open-world and stealth-focused Assassin’s Creed experiences.
- Prime members can also claim 12 PC games in August.
Explained simply
Assassin’s Creed is a long-running action game series published by Ubisoft. Its stories combine real historical settings with a fictional conflict between the Assassins, who work from the shadows, and the Templars, who seek control.
Valhalla takes place in ninth-century England and Norway, where Viking raider Eivor becomes involved in that conflict. Mirage is set earlier, in ninth-century Baghdad, and follows Basim; its missions focus more on stealth and planned assassinations. The two games show how the series has used different historical periods and styles of play.
Amazon Luna is a cloud-gaming service, which streams games over the internet rather than requiring them to be installed on a console or computer. Prime is Amazon’s paid membership, and access to Luna games can form part of its benefits.
