As an ardent fan, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about our beloved “Assassin’s Creed Mirage”. After a long, anticipatory wait of almost two years since its debut, we’re finally due for a surprising update! This refresh promises to enrich the game with fresh content and refine existing elements.

Though specifics are still under wraps regarding what this update entails, such as an exact release date, the developers have assured us that it’s on its way “later this year”. So, fellow Assassins, buckle up for a thrilling journey later in 2023!

Introduced in 2023, “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” started as an idea for a downloadable content (DLC) expansion for the preceding title, “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.” However, what began as a potential expansion has evolved into a standalone game that captures the heart of Assassin’s Creed. Interestingly, this complete game is now being enriched with additional DLCs, which were originally planned to mark its conclusion, but are now serving to extend it further.

During a 2024 Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with developers Stephane Boudon and Jean-Luc Sala, there were indications that they might harbor some uncertainty regarding the prospect of additional content being added to the game in the future.

Stephane Boudon expressed great joy over the response to Mirage in a Reddit post. Originally, Mirage was created as a self-contained game without any DLC plans in mind. However, they have concepts for expanding Basim’s story. At this moment, there are no plans for additional content following the launch of Mirage.

Fortunately, it’s true that fans of Assassin’s Creed Mirage can look forward to additional content. Earlier speculations about DLC for the game have proven accurate, causing a mix of surprise and excitement among Assassin’s Creed enthusiasts.

The latest version of Mirage arrives at a time when gamers are eagerly anticipating further information about the enigmatic Codename Hexe. This game, whispered to introduce a female protagonist, could potentially shake things up. Meanwhile, news about the upcoming DLC for Mirage comes just in time for Steam users, as there’s a 70% discount on the game running until August 26th.

I’d love to hear your perspective on this unexpected downloadable content (DLC) for the game Mirage. How would you say it compares to other games in the series, such as the newly launched Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which has been receiving fantastic updates?
