Update: There's a brand new trailer for Assassin's Creed
that finally gives us a look at the game's villains. They'll
make the Templars look tame: it's the Order of the Ancients. This villainous
order appear to be big fans of masks, murder and power and according to Ubisoft
it's their mission to "tear Egypt apart." See them for yourself
below:

information on Assassin's Creed Origins as well as our hands on impressions of
the game.
Assassin’s Creed has become a familiar gaming
franchise, with a new mainline installment appearing just about every year
since Assassin’s Creed 2 was released all the way back in 2009.
Just as Assassin’s Creed
was becoming one of the old faithfuls of the gaming world, though, Ubisoft
surprised us in 2016 by taking a year out. There was still a film and two
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles titles in the meantime but no sprawling mainline
game.
You don’t realize what you have until it’s gone and
after just one year of being away people are clamoring to hear about what the
next game will bring. After this break, though, expectations are
raised.
In 2015 Assassin’s Creed
Syndicate barely managed to pull the series back from the precipice Assassin’s
Creed Unity had pushed it towards. Ubisoft wasn’t exactly firing on all
cylinders.
With an extra year to
refocus and get things right, though, fans are expecting the series to return
bigger and better than ever.
With Assassin's Creed
Origins now confirmed to be on its way and seeking to bring new RPG elements as
well as take the series back to its roots it'll be interesting to see whether
Ubisoft achieves its goals.
Trailers
At this year's Gamescom during the Microsoft conference a brand new CG trailer for Assassin's Creed
Origins was revealed. The visually stunning trailer sets up the
atmosphere for the game; an Egypt where order is built upon slavery before
Bayek comes in, dismantling the inequality and bringing necessary chaos.
You can watch it for

The above wasn't the only
trailer released at Gamescom, though. Following Microsoft's CGI reveal, Ubisoft
released another trailer titled Game of Power. This trailer features in-game
footage and shows some of the historical characters you'll cross paths with in
the game. Look out for Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Ptolemy XIII when you watch
the trailer below:
Where Gamescom brought the
cinematics, back in June E3 was heavy on the gameplay with two trailers which
