The Assassin’s Creed games are some of the best when it comes to delivering great third-person action and immersing players in historical locales. So given Assassin’s Creed Origins’ novel ancient Egyptian setting, it makes sense Ubisoft’s game is one of the most anticipated video games of the year. Here follows a list of the top 5 things to look forward to in Ubisoft’s upcoming game.
1. The Egyptian frontier
Ancient Egypt will be your playground in Assassin’s Creed Origins.
Perhaps the most striking thing about Assassin’s Creed Origins is that it is set in ancient Egypt. This means Ubisoft’s latest game takes place thousands of years before the last Assassin’s Creed game (Syndicate), which was set in 19th century London. And while ancient Egyptians did not have modern weapons or railroads at their disposal, having only access to primitive gear like bows (and vehicles such as chariots) it appears the old Egypt setting of the game will be as atmospheric as the earlier Assassin’s Creed games.
Actually, Ubisoft has even recreated historical cities like Alexandria and the Giza Pyramids in the game, helping immerse players in Assassins Creed Origins’ ancient world. And it is likely that ancient Egypt will be as beautifully realised as earlier Assassin’s Creed settings, with plenty of sights and secrets to discover, hopefully making up for the lack of modern elements found in the earlier Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.
