'''''Assassin's Creed: Origins''''' is the tenth main installment in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' series]] developed by [[Ubisoft]]. It is slated for release on 27 October 2017.

The story centers around [[Bayek]], the last [[Medjay]], after he has left his native village of [[Siwa]] to pursue a certain mystery. This journey will lead him to travel across [[Egypt|Ancient Egypt]] as the country experiences a shift in power, and play a role in the birth of the [[Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]].

==Development==
Ubisoft Montreal is the lead development studio on ''Origins'', with the team comprising many of the people that previously worked on ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''. Ubisoft Sofia, Ubisoft Singapore, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Chengdu, Ubisoft Bucharest, Ubisoft Kiev and the Sperasoft studio are also collaborating on the development of the game.<ref name="Ubi Press Release">[http://wccftech.com/everything-about-assassins-creed-origins/ Everything You Wanted To Know of Assassin's Creed Origins, Including Ubisoft Studying NASA Documents]</ref>

==Gameplay==
===Setting===
''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 much enemies faster. Freerunning is now much more simplified, and unsafe jumps have made a comeback to make movement even faster and more flexible.
