Assassin's Creed Mirage: Valley of Memory launches on November 18 and adds more than six hours of new content to Assassin's Creed Mirage. Free for all players, Valley of Memory takes place before the final events of the main game, and begins when Basim learns that his long-lost father might still be alive. Basim's search for his father leads him to the valley of AlUla - an entirely new region filled with new quests, new activities, and deadly new enemies.
All Assassin's Creed Mirage owners will be able to play Valley of Memory for free, but there are multiple ways to access the content. Here's a full rundown of how to play Valley of Memory:
How to Access Valley of Memory
When accessing Valley of Memory through a new or returning playthrough, you'll encounter a boy waiting for you at the Harbiyah Bureau. The boy will prompt a cutscene to go to Dervis' shop. Once there, Dervis will introduce the Valley of Memory questline and ask Basim if he wants to go to AlUla. Answering "yes" will officially start Valley of Memory.
- New Playthrough - If you're playing Assassin's Creed Mirage for the first time or starting a new playthrough, you'll be able to start the Valley of Memory questline once you have "The Head of the Snake" mission available to you. You will then need to "Report to the Bureau", where upon arrival at Harbiyah Bureau, you'll encounter the start of the Valley of Memory quest.
- New Game+ - Creating a New Game+ will give you the choice to start at the beginning of the game or directly at Baghdad. Since you're already familiar with the main story of Assassin's Creed Mirage, the Valley of Memory questline will be available right after the Caravanserai when you have to report to Roshan at the Harbiyah Bureau.
- Access Valley of Memory Immediately - If you want to jump straight into Valley of Memory without a pre-existing save, you will have the option of starting the expansion directly when you chose to start a new playthrough. Doing this will prompt a recap video, detailing the events of the main game up to this point. If you select this option, Basim will start with certain skills already unlocked - which you can reinvest as you like - as well as the materials needed to upgrade your tools as you see fit. You'll also be given some in-game currency and tokens to help replicate what a late-game Basim would normally have.
- Returning Playthrough - If you've finished Assassin's Creed Mirage, or advanced past "The Head of the Snake" mission, you'll be able to load your saved game and have access to Valley of Memory immediately through the Investigation board. You'll be asked to go directly to Dervis's shop.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is out now on Ubisoft+, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Amazon Luna, and PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. The Valley of Memory update launches on November 18.
