History VideoGame / AssassinsCreedOrigins

The game is set in [[UsefulNotes/AncientEgyptianHistory Ptolemaic Era-Egypt]] during the reign of Queen UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII Philopator. Your protagonist is Bayek, a Medjai, [[TheRemnant a former member of an elite police that had mysteriously disappeared in the collapse of the New Kingdom]]. Bayek becomes the founder of the group that would become the Assassin's Brotherhood, while Egypt experiences a turbulent period of civil war and occupation by UsefulNotes/TheRomanRepublic. The game includes a huge swathe of land filled with countryside and small settlements, the Nile River Delta, sandy and white deserts, and the cities of Memphis and Alexandria.

* StealthPun: Since Bayek can see what his eagle Senu sees ala FarCryPrimal, technically he's using a form of Eagle Vision.

** Bayek uses a ''kopesh'' more than 1,000 years after they were replaced with straight swords among the Egyptians.

* CompositeCharacter: Composite ''game'', to be exact. The gameplay reveal shows that Ubisoft is adapting some game mechanics from their other series, most prominently ''Far Cry'', as Bayek can chain takedowns and scout areas with the help of an eagle.
** It could be a coicidence, but a few mechanics seem to be taken from the up-coming ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfWar'', such as the ability to fire arrows mid-air.

* GenreShift: The trailer confirms that this is the first entry in the series to include some out-and-out fantasy elements (as opposed to techno-science fiction elements), with Bayek shown battling a giant snake.

''Assassin's Creed: Origins'' is the 2017 entry in the Franchise/AssassinsCreed series. It is set for release on October 27 on UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 and PC.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: You play a Medjai during the reign of Cleopatra. The Medjai had long disappeared well before Alexander's conquest of Egypt, leave alone Cleopatra's reign which is the very end of the Ptolemaic era.

* HeroesPreferSwords: Bayek is seen wielding a ''khopelsh''.

* HeroesPreferSwords: Bayek is seen wielding a ''khopesh''.

* AncientEgypt: Billed as this, but the Ptolemaic Era of Egypt, especially the time of Cleopatra's (where it would be occupied by Rome), is a good deal more recent than you would expect of this trope. The Great Pyramids were more ancient to her times (2500 BCE -- 1 BCE) than her times are to us (1 BCE -- 2017 CE). The developers chose this era because they noted that a truly ancient era would not quite provide them cities like Alexandria (which as the name suggests comes from UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat's invasion), and this era allowed them a huge swathe of architecture from multiple eras as well as monuments that no longer exist (such as the Pharos of Alexandria, and Cleopatra's Palace and the Library of Alexandria).

* ShownTheirWork: The Great Pyramids are depicted as smooth and gleaming white with golden caps; this is exactly how they would have been back in the heyday of Ancient Egypt - the surface stones and caps have since been lost due to varying reasons which is why they look as they do now.
