Assassin's Creed Origins - Gamers Guide
Assassin's Creed Origins
Assassin's Creed Origins is a 2017 action-adventure video
game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the tenth
major installment in the Assassin's Creed series. Principally set in Egypt,
near the end of the Ptolemaic period (49–43 BC), the story follows a Medjay named
Bayek of Siwa and his wife Aya, and explores the origins of the millennia-long
conflict between the Hidden One's forerunners to the Assassin Brotherhood who
fight for peace by promoting liberty, and The Order of the Ancients forerunners
to the Templar Order who desire peace through the forced imposition of order.
The narrative also includes sequences set during the 21st century, which follow
a new character, Layla Hassan. Featuring a large open world, Origins adopted
elements from role-playing video games and incorporated an overhauled
"hitbox-based" combat system.
Announced at E3 2017, Origins was released on October 27,
2017, for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It received positive reviews
from critics, with many calling it an improvement over previous entries and
praising the story, characters, voice acting, reworked gameplay systems, world
design, historical accuracy, and visuals. The game drew criticism for its
pacing, quest design, and technical issues. The game has sold over ten million
units worldwide and was nominated for several end-of-year accolades. Ubisoft
supported Origins extensively following its launch, releasing two paid
expansions and a Discovery Tour, a series of guided tours that allow players to
explore the world of Ptolemaic Egypt for educational purposes. The game was
followed in October 2018 by Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which takes place in
Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War.
