An Xbox gamer recently purchased a $5 copy of Ubisoft's Riders Republic, but it arrived while still in the plastic security case. Big box retailers like to lock their games in special plastic boxes that are designed to be unlocked using a specific tool. These anti-theft devices help companies stop potential shoplifters from stealing Xbox games and other products, though they aren't always 100% successful.
Assassin's Creed Mirage won't be getting any DLC, but the director has ideas on how to extend the story of protagonist Basim

Assassin's Creed Mirage's director has said that he has ideas on how to extend the story of protagonist Basim.
Although it's been previously confirmed that the latest Assassin's Creed title won't be getting any downloadable content (DLC), in a recent Reddit AMA, game director Stéphane Boudon revealed that the team still has some ideas on how to add to Basim's story (via VGC).
When asked if the studio would ever think about making a DLC or new storyline content for the game, considering the positive reception, Boudon said: «We’re thrill[ed] by the reception of Mirage! Mirage [h]as been design[ed] as a standalone experience without any DLC plan.
»However, we have ideas on how we could extend the story of Basim, surely. But as of today, no post launch content is planned for Mirage."
In terms of working on another game starring Basim, the game director said there's more to tell with Basim, but the team would like to explore elsewhere.
«Telling the coming-of-age story of Basim was a blast for us so clearly yes, we still have a lot to say about Basim,” he said. “On the other hand, creating a game with that much constraints is a difficult exercise and as the team we would also love to explore new horizons and having more creative freedom.”
In the thread, Boudon explained that Ubisoft won't release any more major updates for Mirage, but said the team will „keep monitoring the game and listening to player feedback.“

Assassin's Creed Mirage launched in September 2023 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
Following its launch, the game received New Game Plus and later a new setting called Full Synchronisation Challenge mode, which offered a permadeath run of the entire game. These appear to be the only updates that Ubisoft will be adding post-launch.

Where Basim’s Story Could Go After Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s Ending
It's clear to those who have played 2020's and 2023's that Basim Ibn Ishaq will play a major role in the series going forward. Basim was introduced as a master assassin as part of the Hidden Ones — the group that would go on to become the Assassin's Order — in, meeting Eivor's Viking clan and offering to help them expand their operations in Norway and England. The series then went back to Baghdad in the year 861 and depicted a 17-year-old Basim's origin story through a smaller, more stealth-focused title in. Here, players followed Basim as he learned new tactics from his mentor Roshan to take down members of The Order of the Ancients, a clandestine group pulling the strings across Persia.

Assassin's Creed Mirage won't get story DLC, but the devs have "ideas on how we could extend the story of Basim"
As an Assassin's Creed girlie, I enjoyed Assassin's Creed Mirage, a pared down (but still big game, which is really just proof of how bloated AAA games have gotten, but I'll stop because it's not time to take my personal bugbear for a walk) Ass Creed game that was closer to the simplicity of the older games in the stab 'em up stealth-action series. Yesterday creative director Stéphane Boudon and art director Jeal-Luc Sala took to Reddit for an AMA, and in response to a question about plans for Mirage DLC, Boudon said no - but that they have ideas for more stories for Basim.
