What is Assassin’s Creed Origins?

Total freedom supported by a revamped narrative experience. Players can now make their choice amongst a large variety of meaningful main and side quests that they can approach when and how they want. This new open narrative approach gives players many possibilities to interact with the world, and different ways to experience their journey in Ancient Egypt.

We enhanced the gameplay by incorporating Action-RPG elements that support finding weapons with different rarities, levels, stats and visuals and ensure each unique weapon impacted gameplay appropriately. So how the character’s overall level compares to the ones of enemies is a key factor in the experience. As a player, you now have to carefully consider and choose what are the abilities, gear and crafting decisions that define your Assassin.

Based on this new Action RPG direction, we completely redesigned the combat system. We changed the paradigm of combat, building from the ground up a new versatile, highly-reactive and fast-paced combat system that gives control, depth and freedom to players, bringing more challenges and thrill to combat.

Players can now transition seamlessly between unique ranged and melee weapons as they attack and defend against multiple enemies at once. Furthermore, players’ positioning as well as the size and the speed of their weapons decide if and how they hit their enemies, opening many doors to the depth of our combat system and bringing new sensations to the fight.
