Ubisoft is surprising fans by adding a free DLC to Assassin’s Creed Mirage, two years after the game’s release. The new content includes a “new story chapter and missions set in 9th century AlUla,” gameplay improvements for the base game, and enhancements to the new location.
Ubisoft initially stated that Assassin’s Creed Mirage would not receive any post-launch content in April 2024. However, it appears that the company has changed its mind. The free DLC is a result of a partnership between Ubisoft and Savvy Games Group, a gaming conglomerate backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.
The new location, AlUla, is an ancient city in Saudi Arabia, which may explain why fans have been speculating about the game’s connection to the country. Additionally, the recent leak of the DLC content suggests that Ubisoft has indeed been working on it for some time.
The surprise announcement comes after Basim, a character from Assassin’s Creed Mirage, expressed interest in being featured in Netflix’s show based on the series. Fans believe that this could be part of Ubisoft’s strategy to build hype for future content.
It is worth noting that the free DLC will not extend the game’s storyline but rather provide additional gameplay improvements and new story chapter. The exact release date has not been announced yet, but fans can expect more information in the coming months.
