E3 2017: Assassin’s Creed Origins Heads to Ancient Egypt
The fact that the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed series would head to Egypt had been leaked about a million times, so the official reveal of Assassin’s Creed Origins at the Microsoft E3 press conference didn’t exactly surprise anyone.
In terms of chronologically, this is the furthest back the series has ever gone, making it a prequel in every sense of the word. The new protagonist will go by the name Bayek, with the plot finding him returning to his hometown to assassinate a fake oracle called Medunamun. It looks like your primary weapon will be a Khopesh (an ancient Egyptian curved-sword), and the fact that we see a dude having his internal organs being removed at 0:32 in the first video below in order for his corpse to be mummified indicates that Origins will not shirk away from the more horrific aspects of life at the time.
Assassin’s Creed Origins will be released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on October 27. During the conference, we were treated to a trailer, gameplay footage, and a behind-the-scenes video, all of which can be viewed below.
