Assassin’s Creed

A new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Origins is here and gives us a good view of the figures behind all of the issues in the Assassin’s Creed franchise

Given the setting for Assassin’s Creed Origins, it would not make complete sense to see the looming villains we have already seen time and time again in the rest of the franchise. At least in the shape and form we have known them to be all the way back to the original title. I am sure the Templars will still be a part of the game as it wouldn't be a full Assassin’s Creed title without them, but it does look like Ubisoft is taking us far back enough to see where they started from. Well, at least that is the assumption as we are now being introduced to the Order Of The Ancients in the latest trailer and they look to be doing what the Templars do, just before that religious organization could have been around.

As you could have guessed, this order is here to do just work the world from the shadows and puppeteer the world leaders in Assassin’s Creed Origins. We have been focusing on the origin side of the Assassins here in this game more and more, it is the larger premise, but it does look like we are also seeing the origins of the "villainous" faction in the game's world too and these would most likely be the humans who do it. That is at least the easy assumption that can be made as most creation stories like this are also linked into the creation of the opposition. Unless Assassin’s Creed Origins really wants to break the story mold a little bit and ignore the opportunity that could be had to do a dual origins story.

Have a look at the small showing of these villains in Assassin’s Creed Origins for now though. Then get ready for the game to finally come to us on October 27^th for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It still available for pre-order in most of the forms it is being packaged in and will also score you some of those pre-order items that Ubisoft likes to throw at us for showing our faith in the game.

What are your thoughts on the Order Of The Ancients here for Assassin’s Creed Origins? Do you think they will just become the Templars or will they leave a power void that they will slip into? Could this just be the origin story for the villains and we have only been focusing on the "heroes" of the story so far? Let the whole world know what you are thinking down in the comments and then feel free to keep the discussion going. As we get more for Assassin’s Creed Origins, we will have it up on the site here. Keep checking back in to make sure you do not miss a single nugget of information that we have coming to us before launch.
