Listen up then listen in...
In the past few years, the Assassin's Creed franchise has abandoned its stealthy roots and veered into more epic and RPG-based territory; 2020's Valhalla took about 61 hours to beat, and had a vast map of almost 100 square kilometres.
Assassin's Creed Mirage has taken a step back. Not only is the map a lot smaller, but the gameplay has returned to the stealth-heavy mechanics of the early releases.
There are new ways to sneak and execute, and outside of combat we're encouraged to eavesdrop.
Listen to our new Gaming podcast, One More Life - the next episode is about AC Mirage!

As you can see in the video, you'll need to find a hiding spot before you start listening in. This can be in a haystack, or blending in on a bench.
Just standing or crouching behind a wall or object won't cut it, we're afraid; the option to eavesdrop won't present itself until you're locked in one of these spots.
To find a conversation and hiding spot, use the Eagle Vision to see all conversations you can listen to. Some might be out of listening range, so you'll need to find the right hiding spot.
Once you're nestled in (or sat down), lock on to whoever's talking to trigger the conversation!
