Play at 4K on Xbox One X
Ubisoft’s worst-kept secret was just confirmed at Microsoft’s E3 presser and [extremelySimpsonsvoice]Assassin’s Creedis indeed going to Egypt withAssassin’s Creed: Origins, which features “RPG”-like additions to Ubisoft’s worn open-world format. “Level up!” Ah, yes, leveling. Innovative!
The first trailer included gladiatorial combat, arrows shot off horseback, and fighting crocodiles while swimming. There’s more mystic stuff, too, including a giant snake or basilisk-looking thing. There’s also a hawk straight out ofFar Cry: Primal(or a drone from a more modern Ubisoft game) and a loot system.
Set in “the birthplace of modern civilization…and the assassin brotherhood,”Originswill have you play as “an Egyptian sheriff, if you like.”
