'Assassin's Creed Origins' arrives October 27th

Assassin's Creed Origins will tell you the story of how the assassin brotherhood began, with Bayek, an Egyptian sherif. While the rumors of an Egypt-based title have been around for weeks, we finally got to see how that will shape the stealthy-stabby series. Besides a cinematic introduction, we also got to watch a few minutes of in-game footage, with Bayek on horseback, with his trusty bow, scouting an Egyptian town that appears more lively and richer than its predecessors. The protagonist also taps into a clever little ability that gives him (literally) a birds-eye view of areas in-game, without having to scale towers and walls. Battles look relatively unchanged from older Assassin's Creed titles, although arrows and other projectile weapons appear to stick around longer in the sides of your enemies and wildlife.
