Assassin’s Creed Mirage has just received a big expansion called Valley of Memory. This update, released on November 18, introduces a completely new region to explore and expands protagonist Basim’s backstory, offering approximately six hours of playtime. Unlike traditional post-game expansions, this DLC is set before the final events of the main Mirage storyline, providing additional context to Basim’s character development.
The expansion takes players to the historically rich region of AlUla, described by Ubisoft as a “breathtaking new setting from the Golden Age of the Abbasid Empire, set at a crossroads of civilizations”. This area features diverse landscapes including deserts, oases, and ancient ruins, offering a visually distinct environment from the main game’s Baghdad setting.
What’s The Story?
The story of Valley of Memory begins when Basim hears rumors that his long-lost father might still be alive. After consulting with his friend Dervis, he journeys to AlUla.
Upon arriving, Basim discovers that the valley is threatened by a dangerous band of robbers and his father is missing. This setup creates a dual objective for players: unravel the personal mystery of Basim’s family while confronting a new threat to the region’s stability
