For the first time since 2015’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, we’re finally getting a new Assassin’s Creed game with this week’s Assassin’s Creed Origins which comes out on October 27th. The Assassin’s Creed series is one of my favorite franchises to come out of the last gen of consoles and has become something of a tradition for me to get at Christmas but this year will be different. I won’t be waiting for December 26th to play Assassin’s Creed Origins. This trailer is stunning. The visuals are outstanding and it’s from the team who made my absolute #1 title in the series Black Flag. Stap on your hidden blades and check out the trailer below

Start here, at the very beginning, with the never-before-told origin story of Assassin’s Creed. You are Bayek, protector of Egypt, whose personal story will lead to the creation of the Assassin’s Brotherhood. Pick and tackle quests at your own pace: each of them tells an intense and emotional story full of colorful characters and meaningful objectives. From deserts to lush oases, from the Mediterranean Sea to the tombs of Giza, fight your way against dangerous factions and wild beasts as you explore this gigantic and unpredictable land.
