Two years after launch, Assassin's Creed Mirage is getting surprise free DLC adding a second city to

Published on December 05, 2025

has announced that 2023's Assassin's Creed Mirage will not only be getting a substantial-sounding surprise DLC before the end of the year, it's going to be a .

Details are scant, but Ubisoft said the DLC would consist of a "new story chapter and missions" set in a new zone separate from the base game's representation of medieval Baghdad. This addition of a new open world area is particularly surprising given that Mirage was the first single-city Assassin's Creed game since 2015's Syndicate.

And Ubisoft's choice of locale really got my history nerd juices flowing: , an oasis city in modern Saudi Arabia that has been inhabited by a succession of cultures since 5,000 BC. Most notably for cool videogame setting purposes: , who left stunning monolithic rock-cut buildings in [[link]] al-Ula that resemble their more famous cousins at Petra in Jordan.

We're talking primo climbing and tomb delving territory here, and adding a full, separate zone like this almost feels like expansion pack territory, which further contributes to my shock at it being a free update. It's particularly odd given that released to good reviews and strong sales earlier this year. PCG's foremost AssCreed expert, Morgan Park, particularly loved this time around.

back when it launched, writing that it felt more like a "stepping stone" to the series returning to form⁠—and it seems to have been just that, given Shadows' reception. The timing makes me wonder if Mirage's DLC was meant to be a paid expansion, but a lengthy development time verging into Shadows' big success inspired Ubi to write it off as a goodwill gesture. I'm willing to bet that the influx of new Mirage purchases in a post-Shadows plus free DLC glow could very well exceed what Ubisoft might earn selling a DLC to current owners of the game.

The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.
