    [​IMG]Digital Trends checked out Assassin's Creed Origins at the E3:

    'Assassin's Creed Origins': Our First Take
    After 2 years away, Assassin's Creed returns as a wannabe RPG in 'Origins'

    Assassin's Creed Origins is the culmination of the series' two-year hiatus, and though there's plenty new and different, some old problems remain.

    It's been two long years since the last Assassin's Creed game, AC Unity, met with tepid reception from fans and critics. Ubisoft responded by taking a break to put AC back in the oven for a while, and the resulting game, Assassin's Creed Origins, was unveiled for the first time during Microsoft's E3 2017 presentation in Los Angeles.

    Set in ancient Egypt, Origins will depict the, well, origins of the Assassins brother/sisterhood. You play as Bayek, an Egyptian warrior who, based on the demo Microsoft put in attendees' hands at its Xbox showcase today, is both a skilled warrior and an instrument of his own interpretation of "justice." In other words, he's an Assassin.

    Assassin's Creed is more of an RPG than ever before
    That loot system, too, is new to the series. We opened the menu to equip the prize, noting several additional inventory slots and an ability upgrade screen that looks straight out of a typical RPG.

    Random loot drops, RPG-style upgrades, totally revamped controls and combat, and many more changes make it clear they're holding little sacred. The new setting in Egypt has a lot of promise for both character-level drama and mythological overarching story, and seeing the Assassins' origins has potential to tickle longtime series fans.
