Get ready for an exciting adventure as Assassin's Creed Mirage celebrates its second anniversary with a bang! The highly anticipated Valley of Memory expansion is here, and it's absolutely free!
But here's where it gets controversial... this expansion isn't just a simple add-on; it's a whole new journey that will keep you engaged for hours. Valley of Memory is a massive update, offering up to six hours of additional gameplay and an intriguing story that takes place before the main adventure's finale.
In this expansion, Basim embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about his long-lost father, rumored to be alive in the ancient valley of AlUla. Little does he know, the valley is under threat from a dangerous gang of robbers, and his father's whereabouts are unknown. Will Basim find his father, or will he uncover a deeper mystery?
Valley of Memory adds a whole new dimension to Assassin's Creed Mirage. It introduces an entirely new region and map, complete with a main quest, new assassination targets, side quests, and contracts. And this is the part most people miss... Basim even gets to play the oud at certain locations, but only if you're skilled enough to find the music sheets through parkour challenges! The expansion also puts a unique twist on the classic black box missions, so get ready for a fresh challenge.
Set in 9th-century AlUla, a valley rich in history and diverse landscapes, you'll explore iconic locations like the old town of AlUla, the Musa Ibn Musayr fortress, the Valley of the Stones, and the impressive necropolis of Hegra. But beware, the Robbers are lurking, setting up ambushes across the desert to catch unsuspecting visitors.
Now, let's talk about the improvements coming to Assassin's Creed Mirage with this expansion:
Replayable Missions and Challenges: All black box missions and contracts in both Mirage and Valley of Memory will be replayable, offering unique challenges each time. Complete these challenges to unlock exclusive in-game rewards!
Parkour Updates: New gameplay features enhance your parkour experience. You can now manually jump, creating seamless free-running sequences. A new control scheme smoothens rooftop-to-rooftop leaps, and you can even customize side and back ejects, allowing for more creative and dynamic movement.
Skill and Tool Customization: A new skill, Engineer 2, lets Basim equip all level 1 modifications to his tools, and a new level 3 modification has been added to all tools, giving you more options for customization.
New Difficulty Levels: Two additional difficulty levels have been introduced, so you can tailor the challenge to your preference.
And there's so much more to uncover in the update's patch notes!
Valley of Memory is a collaborative effort by Ubisoft Bordeaux, Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Bucarest, Ubisoft Da Nang, and Ubisoft Montpellier. Assassin's Creed Mirage is available now on various platforms, and the Valley of Memory expansion launches on November 18. Don't miss out on this epic adventure!
