Summary
- Ubisoft may release story DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage over a year after its launch.
- The DLC could expand on Basim's story, but details on length and development studio are unclear.
- The deal for additional content was reportedly struck with Savvy Games Group, a Saudi company.
A new report has claimed that Assassin's Creed Mirage is set to get story DLC more than a year after its release. Assassin's Creed Mirage launched back in October 2023, and with the impending release of Shadows, most assumed that Ubisoft was done with the game.
Prior to its release, Assassin's Creed Mirage was touted as a return to the series' roots by Ubisoft. The previous titles in Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla had all adopted a new RPG approach, with huge sprawling maps for players to explore. This was not to every player's taste, and many pined for the early days, when the games felt far more stripped back in their approach. Overall, Assassin's Creed Mirage received positive reviews from critics, with most feeling it lived up to the promises of its pre-release period.
Assassin's Creed Shadows PC Requirements Revealed
Ubisoft reveals the PC hardware players will need to meet to effectively run Assassin's Creed Shadows at various graphical settings.
A new report from French outlet Les Echos has claimed that Ubisoft has struck a surprise deal with Saudi company Savvy Games Group to produce additional content for Assassin's Creed Mirage. According to the report, Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot met with the company at a recent meeting in Saudi Arabia, where the deal came together. Previously, Assassin's Creed Mirage did not have any story DLC, although it did have cosmetic downloads available for purchase. Considering Mirage launched back in October 2023, it was definitely fair for gamers to assume that Ubisoft was done with the game.
Assassin's Creed Mirage Could Be Getting Story DLC
The exact nature of the DLC has not been revealed. Presumably, it will be more story DLC expanding on Basim's story, although details on length are currently unclear. It isn't known either which studio will be developing the DLC. The game's original developer, Ubisoft Bordeaux, is currently busy working on the first expansion for Assassin's Creed Shadows, but it's certainly possible that it could return to Mirage for the rumored expansion. It's worth reiterating that this is very much a rumor right now, so it should be taken with a pinch of salt until Ubisoft confirms the existence of Assassin's Creed Mirage DLC.
2025 is set to be a big year for the Assassin's Creed franchise. The upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Shadows is important for Ubisoft, given its recent struggles, meaning there's extra pressure for the game to be received positively by players and critics alike. It's no secret that Ubisoft has multiple Assassin's Creed projects in development at the moment, but the degree to which gamers will hear about them in 2025 remains to be seen.
