Ubisoft workers have raised concerns with company management about a deal with Saudi Arabia to create a free DLC for Assassin's Creed Mirage set in the country, according to a new report. AlUla is an ancient oasis city and governorate in Saudi Arabia, though Ubisoft's announcement post didn't mention the country by name. While they've publicly told IGN that they have creative control over what goes into this DLC, Ubisoft reportedly wouldn't tell staff anything about how it came to be, simply stating that they don't comment on "rumours". "The [PIF]'s money is not MBS's, and talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them," Ubisoft management told workers. The company also defended Guillemot having travelled to Saudi Arabia in late 2024 alongside French president Emmanuel Macron to meet with Saudi politicians.
