This newest game, announced on stage at Microsoft's event at the E3 video game conference, will take place in ancient Egypt - letting players experience the, ahem, origins of the namesake assassins.
Notably, "Assassin's Creed: Origins" is one of the first confirmed blockbuster games to support the new Xbox One X, Microsoft's souped-up new Xbox, slated to ship on November 7. While it will work on any existing Xbox One console, "Assassin's Creed: Origins" will get a big graphical boost on the new console.
In a short on-stage gameplay demo, "Assassin's Creed: Origins" looks to be much in the same vein as previous games in the franchise. The player character infiltrated a temple-turned-fortress in order to assassinate his target, getting into acrobatic fights along the way.
This time, the player can use their pet falcon as a scout, controlling it as it flies around and see what they're seeing. Graphically, it all looks amazing.
Here's the trailer:
