'''''Assassin's Creed: Origins''''' is the tenth main installment in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]] developed by [[Ubisoft]]. Set in [[Egypt|ancient Egypt]], the game will feature a new [[Assassin]] protagonist, [[Bayek]], and is slated for release on 27 October 2017.

==Development==
Ubisoft Montreal is leading development on ''Origins''; a number of people working on the game previously worked on ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''. The game has been in development for three and a half years. Ubisoft Sofia, Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Chengdu, Ubisoft Bucharest, Ubisoft Kiev and the Sperasoft studio are also collaborating on the development.

==Gameplay==
===Location and time period===
''Origins''' [[Egypt]] is three times larger than the map of [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]] and is composed of 5 areas: [[Giza]], [[Memphis]], [[Siwa]], the [[Nile]] Delta and [[Faiyum]]. These feature many historical monuments and sites, as well as more vibrant and lush areas like the great pyramids of Giza and river Nile. Assassin's Creed: Origins takes place in [[Egypt|Ancient Egypt]], in the year 49 BCE, during the last years of the Ptolemaic Empire.

[[Giza]] and [[Memphis]], the latter of which was the [[Egypt|Egyptian]] capital at the time, are home to the great pyramids of [[Giza]] and the Sphinx. [[Siwa]] is [[Bayek|Bayek's]] hometown and a poor village situated in the most isolated place in all of [[Egypt|Ancient Egypt]] It is situated below sea level making the climate hot and dry. There are temples and a necropolis, which means there's plenty to be uncovered. The [[Nile]] delta is a land, where plenty of wildlife can be found. Here you'll find farmers who are tilling the land, growing crops that keep the surrounding cities moving, and the soldiers and brutes who exert control over people. [[Faiyum]] is another one of those oasis lands in [[Egypt]]. It was once a great sea, but now home to the bones of great, ancient whales.

=== Transportation and activities ===
You can travel around [[Egypt]] by land and by water. On land you can travel at faster rate using [[horses]] or [[camels]] while on water you can travel by boat and use a large paddle to move yourself forwards. On the side of the boat you can find shields to protect against enemies firing arrows at you. Swimming is also vastly expanded, as you can now randomly dive underwater in search of collectibles and fight marine animals like crocodiles and hippopotamuses if you wish to do so. Hunting returns to the game. New animals such as desert lions, hyenas, crocodiles, hippos etc can be hunted and killed.

=== Characters, customization and weapons ===
There are a variety of weapons including: [[heavy weapons]], [[swords]], [[long weapons]], [[Bow|bows]] and [[Shield|shields]]. [[Heavy weapons]] have good range and maximum damage, these are great at knocking down your enemies, or just splitting them in two if you'd rather. [[Swords]] have a nice weight and build to them, this makes them perfect for close combat situations where you need to inflict some serious damage fast. Equipping single handed or dual-wielded swords will offer you unique combos and finishing moves. [[Long weapons]], whether you're swinging them or thrusting them, these do more damage than you might think, especially if you and your weapons level up. The [[bow]] is a critical part of your arsenal, giving you freedom to alternate freely between short-range and long-range combat. In special, the [[Warrior Bow]] can shoot multiple arrows simultaneously and with the [[Predator Bow]] you can alter the trajectory of the arrows during mid-flight. Shields can be used to defend yourself against enemy melee attacks, bash an enemies head in, or to catch arrows shot at you to refill your [[quiver]]. Throughout your journey you can find more [[Shield|shields]] and weapons to expand your inventory.

=== Combat ===
With the new combat system, fighting in Assassin's Creed: Origins has been fully redesigned around weapon hitboxes and positioning rather than timed animations, giving you far more control over every combat encounter. Since your enemies have that same freedom, this means that you'll have to consider the positioning and timing of your attacks more than ever before.

In addition to a revised combat system, the new Adrenaline Gauge allows you to build up energy as you fight, giving you the ability to unleash devastating finishing moves on your enemy.

The sneak mode stealth system is present in the game and the stalking zones return.You can perform a jumpshot with your bow.You can also use your bow in third person aim or can aim it in first person.Throwing knives return to the game and can be used for stealth and you are faster in throwing them. Crouching is now possible at any time.

=== Other ===
Unlike previous Assassin's Creed games, Assassin's Creed: Origins will have no mini-map for a more immersive experience but will feature a normal map along with a compass. Assassin's Creed: Origins also adds a controllable eagle called [[Senu]] which can be used to scan the area and mark places and enemies. [[Eagle Vision]] can be used to see objects, though enemies cannot be seen with the ability. Assassin's Creed: Origins also has much more RPG elements in the game with things like a redesigned weapon menu where you can equip weapons that you have bought or looted from other enemies and leveling up is more vital than before.You can loot enemies faster.

== Downloadable and additional content ==
An additional singleplayer mission, [[Secrets of the First Pyramids]], is available by pre-ordering the game. [[Deluxe Pack]], included in Deluxe Edition of game, will give you access to Ambush at Sea mission, 3 Bonus Ability Points and Desert Cobra Pack.

'''Swimming''' is the act of self-propulsion of oneself through water, which can include diving.

When an [[Assassins|Assassin]] or [[Templars|Templar]] would dive, they could choose to remain underwater in order to hide or evade enemies, up until the point where they needed to catch their breath. This enabled them to use water in a stealthy manner, allowing for the traversal of otherwise restricted areas unnoticed.

==History==
[[Desmond Miles]]' ancestors [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], [[Edward Kenway]], [[Haytham Kenway]], and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], also known as Connor, were capable swimmers, able to dive from great heights and hold their breath for several seconds.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref><ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref> Ezio's [[Assassin apprentices|apprentices]] in [[Rome]] were trained to swim, as their [[Initiation into the Assassin Order|initiation ceremony]] required performing the [[Leap of Faith]] into the [[Tiber]] river. However, swimming was slower than [[freerunning]], and it was preferable to jump on whatever surface they could find.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

[[Bayek]] was capable of swimming, underwater diviving and even fighting underwater as well with all of his equipment without ever slowing him down, as seen in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]''.

[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] was capable of swimming, but a glitch in the programming of [[Animus|Animus 1.28]] caused him to drown upon contact with water, which was corrected in the Animus 2.0 when Desmond began to relive Ezio's memories.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' game manual</ref> Desmond himself could swim, and used to wash in the creek after morning exercises on [[the Farm]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

The [[Piracy|pirates]] of the [[Golden Age of Piracy]] dove underwater to find treasure from [[Caribbean]] shipwrecks or caverns, after a [[Spanish Treasure Fleet|large armada]] of [[Spain]]'s trading vessels sank and scattered a vast amount of wealth to the seabed. Connor's grandfather, the pirate [[Edward Kenway]] and his former quartermaster [[Adéwalé]], each possessed a [[Diving bell|diving bell]] on their ships, which allowed them to dive for extended periods of time, since they could place their heads in the apparatus whenever they needed additional oxygen.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref><ref name="Freedom Cry">''[[Freedom Cry]]''</ref>

Edward and Adéwalé were adept at underwater swimming, being able to push themselves from objects and outcroppings to gain a small boost in speed. When swept into a current, they would position themselves to dodge obstacles. However, in order to increase their maneuverability, Edward and Adéwalé were completely unarmed and were forced to dodge or use their [[fists]] against hostile animals like [[sharks]].<ref name="AC4" /><ref name="Freedom Cry" />

The Assassin-turned-[[Templars|Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]] was also a capable swimmer, but had to limit his time in the water due to its often extremely low temperatures, which would cause him to slowly freeze.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref> [[Aveline de Grandpré]], a [[France|French]]-[[Africa]]n member of the Assassins from [[New Orleans]], [[Louisiana]] was a skilled diver. An example of this presented itself when she swam through the flooded caverns beneath [[Chichen Itza]] to find the shards of a [[Prophecy Disks|Prophecy Disk]], and could hold her breath for under a minute.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III: Liberation]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Before ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'', [[civilians]], guards and other characters would instantly drown in water, whereas Assassin apprentices would disappear but not be killed. In ''Black Flag'', most of the characters can swim. However, after ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]], ''NPCs would drown upon contact with water once more.
*Aveline, [[Arno Dorian]], [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] are the only playable ancestors to date who swam using only {{Wiki|front crawl}}, whereas other ancestors also utilized {{Wiki|breaststroke}}.
*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'', if Arno falls and dies in feet-deep or very shallow water, e.g. the moats at the [[Bastille]], he would be as if his limp body were floating.
