Recent reports about an upcoming expansion for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Savvy Games Group, have now been validated. Ubisoft officially announced during the ESports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh that free additional content will launch next year.
- Expanded storyline exploring 9th-century al-Ula’s hidden history
- Refinements to combat, stealth, and traversal across all versions
This new Arabian Peninsula setting contrasts with the base game’s Iraqi capital of Baghdad, transporting players to al-Ula’s ancient oasis in modern-day Saudi Arabia’s Medina region.
Since its October 2023 debut, Mirage has maintained strong critical reception. Wccftech’s review highlighted its focused design, noting:
While the 12-15 hour main campaign respects players’ time, optional activities like urban tales and tool upgrades provide depth without bloat. The $50 release strikes a balance between substantial content and approachable playtime through skill-based progression rather than grind.
Though initial impressions might suggest familiar mechanics, Mirage gradually reveals intricate mission variety and a reactive Baghdad setting. While not revolutionary, this back-to-basics approach delivers a satisfying stealth experience that honors the series’ roots.
