Assassin’s Creed Mirage Update 1.1.0 Adds Major Free DLC, Patch Notes Revealed

by

Ubisoft has announced details about the free downloadable content (DLC) for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which was funded by Saudi Arabia and will be available tomorrow on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

A new expansion called Valley of Memory is now available for PlayStation players after a recent update (22.6GB on PS5 and 16.6GB on PS4). The expansion includes about six hours of new content and several improvements to the game. Here’s what you need to know about the story:

Before the main story of Assassin’s Creed Mirage concludes, the free ‘Valley of Memory’ expansion begins with Basim investigating a rumor that his father might still be alive. He travels to AlUla – a beautiful region filled with ancient ruins, hidden secrets, and lush oases – after getting a clue from his friend, Dervis.

To start the expansion, you first need to begin the “Head of the Snake” mission and talk to Dervis. Or, if you’re starting a new game, you’ll find a new option on the main menu that will take you directly to the expansion’s content.

Explore AlUla, a remarkable new location inspired by the Golden Age of the Abbasid Empire, a time when cultures met and thrived. This stunning valley, largely forgotten by history, was once a vital center for centuries.

Besides the main story, the DLC introduces new things to do, like Stolen Goods and Oud Melodies. In Stolen Goods, you’ll hunt for hidden maps, and in Oud Melodies, you’ll search for and play musical tunes within the game.

The new downloadable content is facing criticism because it’s financed by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. Critics worry this funding could result in the content glossing over the country’s problematic history and ongoing human rights concerns.

The update coming tomorrow includes several improvements and changes to the core game, such as:

  • Free Jump
  • Back and side ejects
  • Control presets
  • Replay missions feature (known as Animus Sequences in-game)
  • New difficulty settings (Hardened Assassin, Ultimate Assassin, and Custom Difficulty)
  • Tier 3 Tool upgrades
