Until the release of Assassin's Creed: Origins, IGN is killing us with a video about high-level gameplay. In contrast to the previous videos and trailers about the latest part of the Assassin's Creed series, this not only shows the start of the game.

Instead, we see the attack of the main character Bayek, together with his eagle assistant Senu, on a heavily fortified outpost. This job can be found in the late game and Bayek is accordingly already level 38 and thus gives us an outlook on the later skills.

Assassin's Creed: Origins - No linear gameplay

Assassin's Creed: Origins offers an open world, so players could travel here at level 1 and try their hand at conquering. To demonstrate the difference, the developer tries a duel with a guard and quickly encounters the Game Over screen.

This is the beginning of the real experiment in which Bayek has a suitable level 38 equipment.

With these weapons and the appropriate skills, the same guard that cost us our lives falls directly victim to an ambush.

Senu, our eagle replaces the previous minimap. When we send him out to look, we see the area from a bird's eye view and can plan our approach. Similar to the compass in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, we otherwise only have one compass that points in the direction of our order. Extensive exploration and exploration the game world will become a major part of the game.

Assassin's Creed: Origins will be released on October 27th and will be available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
