New Assassin’s Creed Mirage DLC Officially Confirmed Alongside Shadows Updates
Ubisoft Quebec’s Assassin’s Creed Shadows, despite pre-launch controversies, has resonated with fans. The studio continues to support its open-world feudal Japan game by releasing quality free updates, with a major DLC for Shadows slated for September. This series isn’t stopping there, as Shadows isn’t the only entry receiving additional content; rumors of a new DLC for its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, have now been officially confirmed.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Expands with Free DLC in AlUla City, Introducing Basim’s Story and Gameplay Enhancements
Two years after its initial release, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to receive a free narrative DLC. This expansion will introduce players to a fresh chapter featuring Basim’s story segment and hidden missions within the historical 9th-century city of AlUla. Along with this new content, the DLC will also bring gameplay enhancements to both the base game and the extension. Ubisoft has indicated more news on this content will be released soon, with speculation suggesting it could shed light on the mysterious post-credit scene previously found within the game’s files. The existence of the AlUla-set content confirms previous rumors about a partnership between Ubisoft and Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund, though Ubisoft has not commented on the matter. This surprise expansion for Assassin’s Creed Mirage could signal a shift in Ubisoft’s commercial strategy, moving towards polishing successful titles rather than solely focusing on rushing out upcoming AAA games such as Assassin’s Creed Hexe (set during the Witch Hunts), Far Cry 7, or a Splinter Cell remake. The introduction of a new city and these gameplay improvements could boost Mirage’s sales, helping it further emerge from the shadow of Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ recent launch.
Expanding Assassin’s Creed Mirage with New DLC and Introducing a New Protagonist
Two new DLCs are confirmed: one for Assassin’s Creed Shadows (with its September release) and another for Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The Mirage DLC will introduce a new protagonist.
