Initially conceived as an extension for “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla,” 2023’s “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” was initially marketed as a return to the series’ core elements, emphasizing stealth and assassinations over the RPG-style gameplay that has become common in recent versions. Although Ubisoft expanded the game after deciding to make it a standalone title, it will still offer a more compact experience compared to games like “Assassin’s Creed Origins” and “Odyssey.” However, it appears that French publisher Ubisoft may have additional tales to share featuring the main character, Basim Ibn Ishaq.
Based on a report from Les Echos (spotted by trustworthy Assassin’s Creed leaker j0nathan), Ubisoft has entered into an agreement with global video game investment company Savvy Games Group to create new story DLC for Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It’s said that Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot met with the investment group and agreed to produce DLC, with most of the funding coming from them. Details about the DLC are scarce, but it’s suggested that like other additional story content, it could include new maps and characters for the game. However, there’s no information on when or if this DLC will be released.
An unexpected change occurred as Ubisoft had consistently stated that this game wouldn’t require DLC. However, events took a turn in December when Ubisoft’s CEO traveled to Saudi Arabia. It was revealed later that Yves Guillemot was part of an official delegation, which accompanied Emmanuel Macron during his state visit to Riyadh, consisting of approximately fifty business leaders.
As I’m immersed in the gaming world, I’d put it like this: “On this particular gaming session, I had a chance to meet top execs from Savvy Games Group, under the umbrella of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). We had some engaging talks that eventually resulted in an agreement for a DLC (Downloadable Content) for ‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage‘. It seems this project will be majorly funded by Savvy Games Group, according to my sources.
Similar to many unverified rumors and conjecture, approach the following with caution. The publisher or anyone associated has not confirmed or denied anything so far. However, j0nathon has gained a reputation as a knowledgeable leaker for the Assassin’s Creed series. Nevertheless, we’ll have to wait and see how accurate all this information proves to be in time.
It’s quite plausible that Ubisoft might release a story DLC for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, given their recent focus on cost-cutting measures and restructuring aimed at boosting profitability. This overhaul has resulted in the closure of studios such as San Francisco, Osaka, and Leamington, and even delayed the much-awaited Assassin’s Creed Shadows to March. The success of Shadows is crucial, but if it falters, it could potentially cause more issues for this long-standing game developer.
The action-adventure game Assassin’s Creed Mirage is currently accessible on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and mobile platforms. In our assessment, we awarded it 3.5 stars out of 5, indicating that while the game offers enjoyable experiences, it occasionally lacks sufficient depth to maintain player engagement in a truly satisfying manner.
