Assassin's Creed Mirage was never supposed to get an expansion. Conceived as an antidote to the sprawling worlds of Odyssey and Valhalla, as well as a love letter to the denser stealth experiences of the series' earliest entries, it was supposed to be a standalone experience. But two years on, Ubisoft is returning to Basim's story with Valley of Memory, an expansion in all but name that adds another chapter to his story and a whole new country to his world.
Valley of Memory sits within Basim's narrative as something of a capstone to his coming-of-age arc in Mirage. It's an entirely new chapter, positioned near the end of the main quest but largely removed from much of the rest of the story of Basim or the Hidden Ones. Instead, it's a personal narrative, focused on a rumor that Basim's long-lost father might be in the city of AlUla.
