However, instead of reloading and continuing, your playthrough effectively ends. A new screen will showcase the cause of death, Assassin Rank, enemies killed and more, and then your save is deleted. Don’t count on gaming the system with cross-progression or cloud saves since both are disabled when starting a permadeath run.
New challenges are available for those who complete the Full Synchronization Challenge at different difficulties. On Easy, you unlock an emblem; Normal difficulty bestows the emblem and Rayhan outfit. Complete a run on Hard, and you get the above plus six new dyes for coloring specific outfits. A new Outfit feature is also available and serves as Transmog for players to wear whatever they want.

AC Mirage Title Update 1.0.7 – Release Notes
NEW ADDITIONS
Full Synchronization Challenge
Do you think you’ve experienced everything Assassin’s Creed Mirage has to offer? Our newest game mode Full Synchronization Challenge (a.k.a. permadeath) is the ultimate test of your assassin skills.
When enabled, Basim will desynchronize from the animus if he dies, or if he commits illegal actions (e.g. killing citizens, going outside of authorized map locations).
When Basim desynchronizes from the animus, instead of the usual desynchronized reload screen, a new display appears showing statistics of gameplay time, total amount of conflicts, cause of the death, number of enemies killed, assassin rank and difficulty chosen to play.
There are no second chances – your save file will be permanently deleted, so perfect your skills to keep Basim alive!
