A recent report hints at a potential story DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage, more than a year after its October 2023 launch. This is unexpected, considering the imminent release of Assassin's Creed Shadows and the assumption that Ubisoft had moved on from Mirage.

Prior to its release, Mirage was positioned as a return to the series' origins, contrasting the RPG-heavy approach of Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.  Many fans welcomed this shift back to a more streamlined experience, and the game generally received positive reviews, fulfilling its promise of a classic Assassin's Creed feel.

The report from French outlet Les Echos suggests a deal between Ubisoft and Saudi Arabia's Savvy Games Group for the creation of this additional Mirage content.  The deal reportedly emerged from a meeting between Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot and Savvy Games Group representatives.  While Mirage launched with cosmetic DLCs, story-based expansions were not initially planned.

The specific details of the potential DLC remain unknown, but it's speculated to expand on Basim's story.  The length and the development studio responsible are also unclear. Ubisoft Bordeaux, the original developer, is currently working on the first expansion for Assassin's Creed Shadows, but a return to Mirage isn't impossible.

It's important to remember that this information is currently unconfirmed, so it should be treated as a rumor until officially announced by Ubisoft.

The upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows is crucial for Ubisoft, particularly given their recent challenges.  The pressure is on for the game to be well-received by both players and critics.  Ubisoft has multiple Assassin's Creed projects in development, but the extent to which these will be revealed in 2025 remains to be seen. 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the franchise.
