Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory – a free major update coming to the Ubisoft Blockbuster – has been officially teased via a new cinematic trailer ahead of a full reveal later today.
According to the teaser video description, that full reveal will arrive at 9AM PT / 12PM ET / 5PM BST / 6PM CEST.
The Valley of Memory DLC, first announced by Ubisoft in August, will be set in the ancient Arabian city of AlUla within Saudi Arabia. The DLC will include a new story chapter, new missions, and a variety of gameplay improvements.
The DLC was reportedly developed thanks to a deal between Ubisoft and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, the national wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. Ubisoft declined to comment when asked by Eurogamer back in January.
The Public Investment Fund is part of Saudi Arabia’s ongoing attempt to diversify income for the oil-rich nation, as well as a dedicated push to improve its global image. Saudi Arabia has been criticised heavily for its history of human rights abuses, and blamed for the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Only last week, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund was part of a three-way bid to turn Electronic Arts private for $55bn. If approved, the American games industry giant will be saddled with $20bn in debt in 2027.
