As of right now, Ubisoft currently has no DLC or "extensive post-launch" plans for Assassin's Creed Mirage, and that's frankly music to my ears. The upcoming adventure is harking back to the series' roots by putting stealth and parkour back at the forefront, and I'm already gearing myself up to feel like a true assassin again. But personally speaking, the most appealing aspect of Basim's journey is the smaller scale and tighter focus it promises. From everything we've seen so far, Mirage looks set to be a marked departure from the sprawling open-world RPG direction we've seen in recent years with the likes of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins.
After a long stretch of experiences in the series that demand so much time, with generous helpings of DLC that kept trying to pull us right back in, I'm actually relieved to hear the new Assassin's Creed game is seemingly dialling back its scope when it comes to post-launch content, too. Rather than feel disappointment, I only feel more hopeful that Mirage will be the tightly focused, contained Assassin's Creed adventure I've been craving since I fell victim to the post-launch fatigue of Valhalla.
