Boudon revealed that the team wanted to revisit the Middle-East for the series’ 15th anniversary, but the idea for DLC eventually expanded into a standalone project.At first, we were working on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the DLC, and the idea came up to create a specific expansion for Valhalla and go back to the Middle East.
