Assassin’s Creed Mirage has many fans, including myself, excited due to the return to the roots and a smaller, tighter, more linear entry in the Assassin’s Creed series, even returning to Baghdad. While recent titles have added open-world content, Mirage aims to keep things simple. That said, many are eagerly awaiting the release, but those in New Zealand have the advantage of time zones, which may make you wonder if you can use the New Zealand hack for Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
How to do the New Zealand trick for the AC Mirage
The New Zealand hack requires you to change your time zone to play Assassin’s Creed Mirage before or at the time of release in New Zealand instead of your own region’s time. You’ll want to preload Assassin’s Creed Mirage before launch to ensure you get started as soon as possible. Here’s how to play Assassin’s Creed Mirage from the beginning with the New Zealand cheat.

What is the New Zealand trick?
The New Zealand hack is a technique where you change your region or time zone to New Zealand. Due to time zones, this region tends to be the first to gain access to games, including Assassin’s Creed Mirage. While the game launches at midnight in most regions, having your time zone set to New Zealand means you get early access instead of waiting for midnight.
