Since the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage in 2023, Ubisoft has added a New Game+ mode, a parkour update, a permadeath mode, and a PS5 Pro patch. But all of that pales to the amount of content coming next month when Ubisoft launches the free DLC expansion, Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory.
Ubisoft announced the expansion to celebrate the second anniversary of the game. During the Valley of Memory reveal stream, it was disclosed that this DLC will add around six hours of gameplay and story as Basim discovers that his father may still be alive. To find him, Basim has to journey to AlUla, an ancient valley that is overflowing with thieves and dangerous men.
In addition to the primary quest, Basim can accept new assassination missions and side quests. He can also play the oud once players earn music sheets by conquering parkour challenges. Ubisoft has also teased “a unique twist on Assassin’s Creed’s classic black box missions,” without elaborating any further.
The expansion will come alongside an update that further improves parkour and adds replayable missions and challenges. There will also be two new difficulty levels, as well as new skill-and tool-customization options that let players reach higher skill levels.
Valley of Memory was reportedly funded and backed by Savvy Games, which is owned by the government of Saudi Arabia. That country’s human rights violations and other controversies haven’t stopped Saudi Arabia from investing in several video game companies, including Nintendo and the recent purchase of Pokemon Go dev Niantic’s video game division. Saudi Arabian investors are also purchasing EA in a $55 billion deal that will take the gaming publisher into private ownership.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory will be released on November 18. Earlier this year, Assassin’s Creed Mirage received a Discovery Tour feature as a free mobile app. The most recent game in the series, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, added a new game+ mode last summer. Meanwhile, rumors about a modern remake of an Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag continue to heat up. However, this version of the game may skip the present-day sequences.
