E3 Microsoft Press Conference: Assassin’s Creed Origins
There have certainly been rumors but Ubisoft finally got to show off the game that Assassin’s Creed players have been waiting years for: Assassin’s Creed Origins. Set in ancient Egypt, players will finally get to meet the first of the brotherhood. While the series has taken players through many different periods, this is the furthest back its ever gone, letting players see just what formed the shadowy organization we know today.
In order to expand on the game some new features were added in, chief of which are some deeper RPG mechanics and the appearance of mythical creatures. That second one is very new for the series, which has dabbled in the supernatural, but never in such a physical sense that actually had players fighting monsters. The combat looked changed up a bit too.
