You follow the Bayek of Siwa, a Medjay who goes around Egypt to essentially fix the problems of both the Egyptians and Greek. The series desperately needed a break in order to innovate, so is Assassin’s Creed Origins the leap the franchise deserves or has Ubisoft missed the pile of hay?Īs the name implies, Assassin’s Creed Origins tells the origin story of how the Assassins organization came to be.
Sure, things have become a bit convoluted over the last few years, not to mention aimlessly stumbling around the overarching plot after Desmond Miles met his end, but there has always been a fascinating idea hidden underneath the interconnected historical stories that has had fans coming back for more. To celebrate its ten-year anniversary, Ubisoft has crafted a tale that tells the early beginnings of the Assassins organization and how it became in charge of maintaining balance and order against evil organizations out to obtain ancient artifacts from an extinct, hyper-futuristic civilization.
Sure, two years might not be that long for some, but it has been eight years since the franchise saw a biennial release and that was a significant jump to Assassin’s Creed II. It’s surprising to say this, but it has been a long time since we had a full-on new Assassin’s Creed game.
