Assassin’s Creed: Origins refreshes Ubisoft’s flagship series with new combat and loot drops

After months of leaks, Ubisoft finally revealed Assassin’s Creed: Origins today during Microsoft’s Xbox event ahead of Tuesday’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

The open-world game is coming October 27 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. After taking a break last year, the Assassin’s Creed series is back with an Egyptian setting. But Ubisoft is counting on more than an interesting location to help relaunch this 100 million game-selling franchise. Assassin’s Creed: Origins has new role-playing game mechanics and combat systems.
