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:

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 yourself below:

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 you can watch below:
