Assassin's Creed is a franchise centered on an action-adventure video-game series developed by Ubisoft. It depicts in the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. Featuring historical fiction and characters, mixed with real-world historical events, and figures. The series took inspiration from the novel Alamut by the Slovenian writer Vladimir Bartol, while building upon concepts from the Prince of Persia series.
After a mountain of leaks basically all over the place, Origins takes place in Egypt in 49 BCE. This is right around when the Egyptian empire began to decline, right before Cleopatra became Pharaoh (she’ll appear in the game, following a series tradition of mixing historical figures with fictional characters made for the series). You play as Bayek, the last of the Medjay, an elite group of Egyptian soldiers. Origins takes place about 1,000 years before the first Assassin’s Creed, which the developer set during the Third Crusade.

After a mountain of lessassin’s Creed has had some RPG elements for a while — mostly via side missions that have you sending out recruits on their own missions — but Origins embraces the whole “action RPG” thing. Your character earns experience points and can level up, which unlocks new abilities in a skill tree.
These can give you new moves, like an attack you can perform in the air, or helpful tools, like a smoke bomb. Origins also has loot. Enemies can drop weapons and gear of different rarities, all with corresponding colors (blue is rare, purple is more rare, etc.). It’s a system familiar to anyone who has played a game like Diablo III or Destiny.aks basically all over the place, Origins takes place in Egypt in 49 BCE.
