Assassin’s Creed: Origins announced in new trailer showing off ancient Egypt

The new title, Assassin’s Creed Origins, as predicted is set to occur in ancient Egypt and introduces a plethora of new mechanics to the series.

It appears that the release date for Assassin’s Creed: Origins has been leaked online via a pre-order listing.

The self-imposed, year-long hiatus that Ubisoft placed on the franchise following 2015’s Syndicate appears to have worked wonders for its flagship series, as Origins looks every bit as attractive as we’d expect, given the extra development time.

These most recent leaks confirm the protagonist as Bayek, who begins the game as a Madjay, a member of this civilization’s police force.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is arriving on October 27. The game depicts Yek’s struggle against the forces “corrupting ancient Egypt”, with that struggle eventually leading to the formation of the Assassin Brotherhood featured throughout previous games.

Ubisoft have officially revealed a trailer and gameplay footage for Assassin’s Creed Origins, the anticipated next installment in the long running Assassin’s Creed series.

A NEW STORY EVERY TIME YOU PLAY: Engage into multiple quests and gripping stories as you cross paths with strong and memorable characters, from the wealthiest high-born to the most desperate outcasts. Yet the release date is quiet at the end of the year the game simply is going to rock the charts. Ubisoft has completely overhauled the Assassin’s Creed experience.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins certainly sounds interesting, so stay tuned for more!

According to Game Informer, it is now evident that the game has been optimised to run at 4K resolutions without compromising frame rate performance on Microsoft’s new gaming console, the Xbox Scorpio. Apart from that, the source also shared that the new title will have more than one playable character, a day-and-night cycle, and a new battle system.
