The Assassin's Creed fanbase may be waiting for the first DLC for Assassin's
Creed Shadows, but Ubisoft instead confirmed new content for its previous
title, Assassin's Creed Mirage. The studio announced on the official
Assassin's Creed X account that there will be a new story chapter and
missions for protagonist Basim, who will venture into ninth-century alUla.
More importantly, the DLC will be free.

According to the post, Ubisoft will bring gameplay improvements to both the
new content and the base game, which revisits the franchise's roots that
emphasize open-world design and stealth combat. The announcement from Ubisoft
comes after a Les Echos report earlier in the year said that new content for
Assassin's Creed Mirage was created thanks to a partnership between Ubisoft
and Savvy Games Group, a gaming and esports company that has backing from the
Saudi Arabian government.

The upcoming DLC sheds more light on what Stephane Boudon, one of the Ubisoft
developers for Assassin's Creed Mirage, teased during a Reddit AMA following
the game's release in October 2023. In the thread, Boudon said the game was
designed "as a standalone experience without any DLC plan," only adding that
the team had "ideas of how we could extend the story of Basim." Ubisoft
didn't specify exactly when the DLC would drop, only revealing that it would
be "later this year." In the meantime, Microsoft updated its included games
for the Xbox Game Pass for August, which include Assassin's Creed Mirage.
