Earlier today, the developers behind Assassin’s Creed Mirage conducted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit and hinted at the possibility of Basim’s story being extended.
Creative Director Stephane Boudon and Art Director Jean-Luc Sala answered only a handful questions, one of which was,
“Did you ever think about making a DLC/new storyline contents for the game, considering how well it was received by the community?”
Just last year, Stephane had confirmed that Mirage would be a standalone game and wouldn’t receive any story expansions. In the AMA today, Stephane reiterated,
“We’re thrill by the reception of Mirage! Mirage as been design as a standalone experience without any DLC plan. However, we have ideas on how we could extend the story of Basim, surely.”
Since the developers have refuted the possibility of a Mirage DLC twice now, this new statement could mean that Basim could feature in the future Assassin’s Creed games. Whether it would be just a verbal reference or a full-blown playable appearance is something to ponder over.
While answering other questions, the developers went on to reveal AC1 was a major inspiration to the team working on AC Mirage because of its city design, mission structure, and the middle east vibes. They were also inspired by the Ezio trilogy the parkour, factions, and other systems.
