Today, during Microsoft’s presentation for gamescom 2017, the publisher and developer Ubisoft unveiled a brand new cinematic trailer for the forthcoming action-adventure title,Assassin’s Creed Origins. For the most part, the fresh video focuses on the various historical figures that will appear in the game, such as Cleopatra, for instance, but also it features a stunning action set piece withthe sequel’s protagonist Bayektaking down a cadre of soldiers to eliminate his target.
Without a doubt, the footage found below forAssassin’s Creed Originswas selected in order to show fans the potential of the game’s beauty on Microsoft’s forthcoming updated console, the Xbox One X, as the trailer presents many realistic environments and life-like characters. After all, the forum that Ubisoft selected to debut the video was during Microsoft’s gamescom 2017 presentation, and the game’s creators previously released many assets during the tech giant’s E3 2017 press conference as well.
Of course, whileAssassin’s CreedOrigins' cinematic trailer from gamescom 2017 is decidedly gorgeous, it doesn’t necessarily give fans of the franchise an idea as to how the sequel will play, with many wondering how combat will be handled this time around. As it so happens, the title’s director Ashraf Ismail recently explained the title’s gameplay, weaponry, andnew combat systemduring a filmed Q&A session.
All things considered,Assassin’s Creed Originsis shaping up to be a great-looking entry in the Ubisoft franchise, as it could be just the shot in the arm the series needs to be revived. As of now, the publisher and developer are quite certain it will succeed when launched in the marketplace, but it has also been temperingits sales expectationsfor the game by predicting it will sell worse thanUnityandBlack Flag. However, only time will tell how wellAssassin’s Creed Originswill fare upon release.
Assassin’s Creed Originsis slated to release on Jul 16, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
