Assassin’s Creed Mirage New Game Plus Update Released With Patch Notes

Ubisoft has today pushed out December’s massive update for Assassin’s Creed Mirage which notably adds a New Game Plus mode. In the wake of Mirage arriving back in October, Ubisoft has slowly let loose a handful of patches that have rectified various bugs and other problems found in the game. Now, after continued requests from fans, the latest Assassin’s Creed game is beginning to receive some major new content that should make it more replayable. 

Downloadable at this very moment, title update 1.0.6 for Assassin’s Creed Mirage is one of the largest that the game has received so far. As mentioned, New Game Plus is the major new addition with this patch as the game mode has come to Mirage alongside a handful of new rewards and gear. Outside of this, patch 1.0.6 also continues to resolve a ton of bugs, crashes, and other problems that have been found with certain in-game quests. Lastly, Ubisoft has also made some slight improvements to the parkour in Mirage which means that Basim should now control better than he did previously.
