The latest release in the acclaimed series, apart from the VR-only Assassin’s Creed Nexus, is Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which was crafted to revive the classic action-adventure allure of the franchise’s earlier titles. Initiated as a nod to the monumental 15th anniversary of the series, the game echoes the original 2007 title by emphasizing stealth and parkour, while scaling back on RPG elements. Upon its launch in September 2023, Mirage garnered positive reviews and seemed to align with Ubisoft’s sales predictions. After that, however, fans heard little about the game’s future.
Jump ahead 16 months, and suddenly whispers of new story DLC for Assassin’s Creed Mirage have started circulating. According to a report from the French publication Les Echos, Ubisoft is collaborating with the Saudi brand Savvy Games Group to develop fresh content for Mirage. It’s quite unusual for a game to get story DLC so long after its release, especially without earlier indications of such content. Yet, another rumor brewing alongside this might shed some light on these developments.
Now, let’s tread carefully as we dive into speculative territory. Everything following is based purely on leaks and rumors, so it’s wise to approach with a fair degree of skepticism.
There are some intriguing developments brewing around Assassin’s Creed Mirage, especially concerning its potential arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2. Just days before Nintendo officially lifted the curtain on the Switch 2, YouTuber Nate the Hate shared in a podcast episode titled “Nintendo 2025 Predictions” that Ubisoft is reportedly working on “more than half a dozen” titles for Nintendo’s upcoming console. This list supposedly includes adaptations of games like The Division, Rainbow Six Siege, and even a Mario + Rabbids collection.
Nate the Hate also mentioned that Assassin’s Creed Mirage would be joining the roster of launch titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, with an eventual port of Assassin’s Creed Shadows being considered for the console’s later years. It stands to reason that an AC Mirage port would be a win-win, offering Ubisoft an expanded audience while giving Nintendo a chance to showcase the enhanced capabilities of its new hardware compared to the original Switch.
Ubisoft faces the challenge of enticing fans to invest in a possible Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Given the game’s age, many players have already experienced it, and with devices like the Steam Deck offering similar portable gameplay, the novelty might not suffice.
This is where the rumored DLC for Assassin’s Creed Mirage might play a crucial role. For some fans, the game left protagonist Basim’s storyline a bit underexplored, and a DLC pivoting around his adventures between Mirage and Valhalla could provide the perfect lure for players to revisit the game.
Mirage, which lets you step into the shoes of a clever young street thief searching for answers, transports players into a richly detailed, vibrant 9th-century Baghdad. It’s an opportunity to delve into the mysteries of the past while shaping the future against the series’ familiar backdrop of parkour and stealth. Whether this upcoming DLC will weave a deeper narrative into Basim’s journey remains to be seen, but it could certainly offer the depth fans are longing for.
