Assassin's Creed Mirage Is Getting Free Story DLC Releasing Later This Year

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that a new Assassin’s Creed Mirage DLC is coming later this year for free, set in ninth-century AlUla, Saudi Arabia. Here’s everything you need to know about the DLC and its development.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot announced that new content is coming to Assassin's Creed Mirage later this year at NGSC 2025, which was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on August 23, 2025.

A short while later, the official Assassin's Creed account on X shared more information. They mentioned:

Here is some information on the AlUla region where the DLC will be set:

AlUla is a region in North Western Saudi Arabia, in Al Madinah Province. It’s a desert valley area with dramatic sandstone mountains, ancient ruins, and oases. For thousands of years it’s been a crossroads of trade and culture, part of the incense route connecting Arabia with Egypt and Mesopotamia. In the 9th century CE, AlUla was not a forgotten desert, it was still inhabited and functioning as a regional hub, though not at the same peak as during the earlier Dadanite, Lihyanite, or Nabataean periods. By the 7th century, with the spread of Islam, the old pre-Islamic ritual centers and tomb cults of places like Hegra (Mada'in Salih) lost their religious importance. By the 9th century, AlUla was a Muslim settlement, integrated into the broader Islamic world. The inhabited town was known as Al-‘Ulā al-Jadīda ("New AlUla”), built near the fertile oasis. It had mudbrick housing, markets, and small fortifications, with agriculture (dates, citrus, grains) sustaining local life. The region was under Abbasid influence during the 9th century, but being on the periphery, it was more a local tribal-led settlement with Islamic allegiance rather than a major administrative hub.

Ubisoft and Saudi Arabia Deal for the New Assassin's Creed Mirage DLC. Here’s how it all started:

• Earlier this year, the French financial newspaper Les Échos reported that Ubisoft had made a deal with Savvy Games Group, owned by Saudi Arabia.

• This deal includes a new DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage.

• The DLC will feature additional maps, levels, and characters that can be offered to players after completing the base game of Assassin's Creed Mirage.

• When asked about this, a Ubisoft spokesperson declined to comment and stated they were only focusing on AC Shadows.

• But on August 23rd 2025, Ubisoft announced that new content is coming to Assassin's Creed Mirage. It will include a new story chapter and additional missions set in the 9th century within the historical AlUla region, improvements to the core gameplay with location-specific additions, and the content will be available for free.

• This announcement was made at the NGSC 2025 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot also said during the NGSC 2025 event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as reported by Digitale Anime: “We are still cooperating with several parties in the region, and Assassin's Creed Mirage is not the end.”

New Early Concept Image Breakdown:

Ubisoft also shared this image along with the announcement post, which contains some hidden details. In the image, you can see Basim walking on the sand in a new region, probably AlUla, carrying a brooch from the base game. It is made from the ceramic of his father's house, from which he was exiled. In the sky, we can see Enkidu, Basim’s eagle, flying. On the right side, there appears to be a tomb, which could be an Isu tomb, an Order of Ancients hideout, or a location for hidden treasures. In front of Basim, an old man is walking with a stick, who could be a new character in the upcoming DLC.

Ubisoft Canada recently shared a new video on social media showcasing a new outfit for Basim in the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage DLC.

The English voice actor for Basim Ibn Ishaq, Lee Majdoub, recently teased on X by quoting the official announcement post and writing, “More Assassin's Creed Mirage!” It looks like he will reprise his role as Basim Ibn Ishaq in the new DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage.
