Assassin's Creed Mirage Gets Free 'Valley of Memory' Expansion on November 18

Assassin's Creed Mirage Unveils Free 'Valley of Memory' Expansion

Ubisoft has officially announced that the highly anticipated free 'Valley of Memory' expansion for Assassin's Creed Mirage will launch globally on November 18. This content update, previously teased, was fully revealed today by the developers, bringing a fresh wave of adventure and challenges to players.

The 'Valley of Memory' expansion introduces a brand-new chapter for Basim, taking him to additional, expansive locations. Players will journey to the ancient Al-Ula oasis city and its surrounding desert, where Basim is on a quest to find his father. Upon arrival, he quickly finds himself embroiled in conflict with a notorious bandit gang that holds control over the entire region, setting the stage for a compelling new narrative.

This new episode is designed as endgame content, expected to offer a more challenging experience than the main campaign. Players can anticipate around six hours of gameplay as they navigate the perils of Al-Ula. Successfully completing the expansion will equip Basim with new gear and skills, which can then be put to the test back in Baghdad, adding further depth to the core game.

Enhanced Gameplay and New Features

Alongside the 'Valley of Memory' expansion, Ubisoft is rolling out several quality-of-life and gameplay enhancements to improve the overall Assassin's Creed Mirage experience. These include:

• Improved Parkour: Players will notice smoother parkour mechanics and enhanced protagonist mobility, allowing for more fluid movement through the game world.
• Mission Replay: The ability to replay missions via the Animus will be introduced, offering exclusive rewards such as new color filters inspired by past Assassin's Creed titles.
• Expanded Difficulty Options: Gamers will gain more precise control over their gameplay experience with customizable difficulty settings. Additionally, two new hardcore modes, 'Seasoned' and 'Ultimate Assassin,' will challenge even the most veteran players.
• New Upgrades and Skills: Each of Basim's tools will receive a new Level 3 upgrade, accompanied by an additional skill, alongside numerous other refinements aimed at boosting overall gameplay convenience.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is currently available on PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store), PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. The 'Valley of Memory' expansion and its accompanying updates promise to extend the adventure for existing players and offer new reasons for newcomers to dive into Basim's journey through 9th-century Baghdad.
