It doesn’t like there will be anyAssassin’s Creed MirageDLC - and that’s according to the game’s creative director, Stéphane Boudon.
Chatting to fans in a recentReddit AMA, and spotted byVGC, Bourdon - while answering a bunch of questions from users at once - said that “For now, Mirage has no plan for DLC or extensive post-launch.”
Obviously, the ‘for now’ part has piqued interest among the community and on-looking fans, as that leaves the door at least slightly open to DLC coming along. But, equally, a lot of us looking forward toMiragefor its single-city setting full of action, and stealth that’s an homage to the early games rather than the RPG-style behemoths of recent years. Many would be quite content withMiragebeing an untouched, self-contained experience.
And, while we should expect a chunk of post-release support in the form of patches, it seems likely that this approach will do a great deal towards keepingMiragefocused and honed - leaving the larger, more expansive stuff to another of the upcomingAssassin’s Creedgames.
A staple of recent, and nearly all, thebestAssassin’s Creedgames, DLCs, and expansions have often added welcome additions to the games' stories, arsenals, and adventures. That said, some have definitely been a bit bloaty - I remember theOdysseyexpansions being a bit,toobig really. In the last installment of the series, the extra content forAssassin’s Creed Valhallawas particularly enormous and even spilled out into a standalone expansion in the form ofDawn of Ragnarök.
With multipleAssassin’s Creedgames in the works, there’s plenty for us to keep us fans interested, including the recently announcedAssassin’s Creed Codename Jadeopen beta that’s coming in August, and the rumors thatAssasin’s Creed Redmight release as early as next year (2024).
It’s one of the most anticipatedupcoming gamesof the year, and I still can’t wait to dive in, DLC or not, to what is likely to also be one of thebest PS5 games,best PC games, andbest Xbox Series X gamesof 2023.
