Assassin’s Creed Mirage It is truly exciting to see an Assassin’s Creed game being released on the Mac, iPhone, PC, and other consoles simultaneously. Yes, there’s going to be no changes or differences whatsoever between all of these releases. Needless to say, the game will definitely be Mac native supported and will be taking advantage of Metal 3. Otherwise, there’s no way that a complete Assassin’s Creed game can run just on virtualization. In terms of how well it’ll run, that’s a whole other debacle that we’ll get to unpack when the game’s actually released. However, judging by the fact that the developers want this to run natively on the iPhone, we can expect good performance on the Mac platforms as well. World of Warcraft: The War Within World of Warcraft was one of the first games to properly support native ARM Mac right out of the box. And the latest 10th expansion of the game seems to be the most anticipated one yet. We’ll see completely new sub-terranean worlds re-visit the Nerubian Empire while getting a completely new allied race, the Earthen! Besides that, Delves is going to be a new end-game pillar with the usual expansion in Dungeons and Raids as well. The War Within is going to be a separate expansion that you’ll have to purchase. It’ll run very well on the Mac and there won’t be any significant performance or visual changes as well.
