Much to do, many unknowns on the horizon.
Lost Tales of Greece started this month. Expands on existing characters. Quests are permanent; no rush.
"Divine Intervention" is the 2nd quest involving divine trials.
Epic ships & mercenaries add skins or legendaries. New method to obtain orchi.
There are 5 in-game ways to get orchi.
Underworld items are available at Sargon already.
2 new packs will be added at the end of Nov. "Odysseus" Gear & Naval. Will be added to Sargon at the same time.
New mythical creatures. November 13th, called "Therapis" (sp?), Lightning Bringer quest. Drops legendary bow, and is also a permanent quest.
Stats vs appearance? VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION launching this month. screenshot
Level 50? People hit 50 halfway thru the game. Cap being raised by 20.
"For those of you who already reached level 50, rest assured all the XP you earned before we raised the level cap will be automatically converted into ability points."
I'm so excited for this. This is a bonus for our community and the potential for interesting & weird quests.

It’s the Sunslayer sword, it’s a golden Conductor of Souls. Check the news section of the AC website
I really prefer the one that Ubi themselves had in the E3 fan kit.
The blog post announcing them said they would be available in heka chests:
>The Nightmare Pack and First Civilization Pack will be available for purchase in the in-game store with Helix Credits. You will also be able to get items from these two packs via the Heka Chests in the Nomad Bazaar.
> Hey, It affects the stun kill, counter kills and assassinations. Basically, it changes the frequency of special "close up" cameras during those moves. Higher frequency means more chances to trigger the cameras.
: turns it off
: randomizes the fail ratio and has a 30 seconds cooldown
: has a 30 seconds cooldown (same as AC1)
: triggers all possible cameras, except if the collision check prevents every possible camera to be triggered.
> Set it to 4 for "increased fun". Enjoy!
Taken from #3 in this thread.
you should submit this to the AC Community Creations Contest
There is research and published works to support the use of "Giants" back then in the military, including for Ceasar. That being said, I don't know if it was that extreme and we aren't quite sure how tall Bayek supposedly was.
Here's a link to an book that was scanned into academia.edu. https://www.academia.edu/541118/Giants_in_Ancient_Warfare
You could signup for ExpressVPN, they have a 30 day money-back guarantee so you could just request a refund after the first day or two.
I'm gonna use that one for this but am not to worried about the money-back, have been meaning to start using a VPN for some time anyway :)
It was confirmed in the french infographic, it also details that the apple was actually inactive but when Bayek touched it, it got "activated" more or less thats why Flavius/Septimius could use its power at the end.
This apple, as we know it got destroyed during the DIA incident thanks to Daniel Cross :)
Well its not the minority if you look at this poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/15890337/r
Anyway downvoting people isn't right but you can't blame people for being disappointed
I like The Witcher and Mass Effect..doesn't mean I want AC to turn into those types of games
I think it's going to be called "Discovery". And you can load the game map up, but there are no quests, NPC's etc. I believe you can just explore ancient Egypt at your leisure with, your family even!
Here, I found it:
>Discovery Tour – This new game mode turns the world of Assassin’s Creed Origins into a combat-free living museum. Read more about this mode and the educational guided tours in our previous coverage.
"Greece, 5th century BCE. Kassandra is a mercenary of Spartan blood, sentenced to death by her family, cast out into exile. Now she will embark on an epic journey to become a legendary hero - and uncover the truth about her mysterious lineage."
https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/odyssey/map
A link to the description of what kind of places we are going to travel to.
Ancient Greece doesn't feel bland to me,not at all.
Look up more things like these. Its a few programs that allow you to change your desktop. Also
http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/
This allows you to hide your icons on your desktop might help you get that clean look as in the picture above.
it's on sale here for $5
and the Deluxe Edition for $7.50
Main series -
AC:The Fall
AC:The Chain
AC:Brahman
Assassins Creed:Assassins
Assassins Creed:Templars
Assassins Creed:Uprising
Side comics that are also canon -
AC:Reflections(the backstory of characters as you mentioned is in this one)
AC:Last Descendant Locus
Also AFAIK these are all digital only and you can find them here.
AC 1 should have no problem running on modern laptops with dedicated GPU of at least 1GB. As well as the Ezio Trilogy game.
But just to be sure, test your laptop with this
If you're on PC, you can buy it for less than $10 at Green Man Gaming right now. It's on sale for $12 with an additional 17% discount if you use the voucher code GMG17 which drops the discounted price to $9.96.
And that you'll get ability points for XP already done, not levels. You'll be able to get to 70 but if you did 4lvl worth of XP, I understand it like you'll get 4 ability points
Perhaps because of this. Ubisoft is using some extremely shitty reasoning/excuses.
That's an interesting costume for Connor. At 1:20, his back looks almost like Altair's costume.
EDIT: I wasn't too displeased with AC:3, but 1 thing that always annoyed me was the screenshot of Connor in a canoe, but I don't believe anything like that was even in the game. Small thing, but it bugged me for a while.
EDIT 2: Just found the screenshot in a GameFAQs post:
The screenshot: http://www.unfinishedman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/assassins-creed3-connor-canoe.jpg The GameFAQs Post: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/621797-assassins-creed-iii/64597260
Not sure that this is the exact reason, but it does coincide with a deal they've got going right now - Buy one of the AC books and get an ACIV Journal for ~ $7.
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/assassins-creed/379004158/
You also get a code that unlocks a couple small exclusives on acinitiates, which comes in the journal.
[ edit: speeeeeling ]
If anyone wants to view all 714 then you can do so here! I had a lot of fun with the photo mode in this game, glad to see it becoming a common feature in modern games.
Ubisoft has said that while you can make choices, its more about how the world sees your character. The story still has certain story "choke points" that happen either way and certain historical events you can't change. They explain it by saying the DNA is very old and imprecise so certain details were lost, this is why it lets you choose man or woman because the DNA cant read properly to tell.
Dude...just watch the ign making-of episodes, and then tell me you don't have a raging boner after that shit!
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/24/making-assassins-creed-iii-the-complete-collection#
If you go to the official site here - https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/odyssey/map
There are a bunch of regions each with a bunch of locations (click a region to look inside) and though there are no gameplay clips or even full screenshots - they still show a teaser image for each zone, and write about it.
Seems that Athens is indeed the largest city in the game (unsurprising) though there are a bunch of other big cities. About the scale itself - don't forget that the devs change the scale of cities for gameplay reasons - things are not always 1:1 scale (the discovery tour mentioned the devs changing sizes and land scale for gameplay purposes, and not everything in the game is on the same scale).
Use VPN Gate Client Plug in with SoftEther VPN Client
Choose a canadian IP or any other where it'll activate.
Launch UPlay, enter the key and activate it.
If it's activated, it's done! Disconnect the VPN and exit the software. You can run the game on your own IP once activated.
If you mean the Hidden Ones it will be available on January 23. Because of a bug it was made available prematurely on the Xbox One but now no longer.
More on it here:
https://kotaku.com/ubisoft-accidentally-releases-assassin-s-creed-origins-1822135300
According to the official website, ACOd is set in -431.
Xerxes' assassination by Darius is in -465.
So we may see (or even get) the Hidden Blade in the game.
But I don't think it'll replace Leonidas' blade : we literally kill people using a First Civ weapon, it would be odd if we replace it with the Hidden Blade
Yeah, they say they are going to be a regular thing. In the link, Ubisoft says as much; the article explains everything you need to know about the Trial of the Gods. :)
^ More confirmation dated yesterday that last gen AC is coming (in 2014, implied) but for w/e reason it doesn't seem as if an announcement is imminent. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
I thought perhaps the Adewale bit would be. Evidently not though!
It was found in this Gamespot article. The second image was made by /u/kurashu on the Watch Dogs subreddit
Holding down C, doesn't actually remove all HUD and guard outlines and creed sync popups still appear (like "Air Assassination", "Cover Assassination" etc).
Make sure to disable your HUD fully from the in-game options (and not the shortcut).
If you still want to remove more, there's this mod which I used for my most recent stealth kill videos, but you'll have to put Uplay in offline mode for it to work.
It's easily toggleable with Caps Lock though.
According to this very helpful website Unity takes 80.5 hours to 100% and Rogue takes 36.5 hours to 100% for a grand total of 117 hours. Given, that includes Unity's co-op missions, but depending on how you look at it, those are also solo content since they can definitely be done solo.
I am very excited as well. I think this quote from an article on the Assassin's Creed website got me even more excited...
"The game is really about order and chaos, and explaining the origin of this fight that came to be between the Assassins and the Templars later on,"
They also say in the article we won't be playing as an assassin which is fine, but I'm most intrigued with how this sets up the future conflict.
Or you could buy it from Amazon as a physical copy for $29.99 Much cheaper and you have a digital copy. I prefer to have a physical copies myself
Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection - PlayStation 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXHDC8I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5NqTyb387MTNB
Saw one on Amazon. It was in the post with like 600 comments though.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.VLW
Really does work!
Install it, hold down on your home screen, select wallpapers > Live wallpapers > Video Live Wallpapers.
Then Set Wallpaper and choose the file.
Job done.
Pretty much what this guy said.
Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/368500/
Origin: https://www.origin.com/en-ie/store/buy/assassins-creed-syndicate/pc-download/base-game/gold-edition
Season Pass isn't on sale right now for god knows what reason(probably because Ubi wants to push the Gold Editions for the game),but if you can get the game cheaper just buy it and buy the Season pass when it eventually becomes available or is on sale.
i believe the ubi team has the same stance on this as they have on the absence of scalping in the game
Hutchinson also mentioned he wanted to avoid a repeat of the infamous skyrim collection video:
Do you like the Collect-a-Ton nature of AC? Do you wish Unity was more like Black Flag? Can you live with it not being as pretty as Unity? Do you like a stable framerate? Do you like shanties? Do you like having a less buggier game than Unity? If you answer yes to everything, than it is the game for you. Also you can get a uplay key, at http://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/products/Assassin%27s-Creed-Rogue-CD-Key-for-Uplay.html for ~ €28, the digital deluxe stuff isn't worth it.
They're a part of an arc that includes AC3. You could play one without the other but they do have connections.
I would play 4 first but that's because I like to follow the story. The buttons for ship battles are different in each game. Not too different but it took me a few battles to pick up on what was different in Rogue. Kept pressing buttons like it was Black Flag! Lol
It depends on how much side stuff you do. If I remember right, Rogue's main story is the shortest in the series. According to http://howlongtobeat.com Black Flag is 21.5 hours for the main story and Rogue is 9.5 hours.
They're both good. Black Flag is less of an Assassin's Creed game, at least as far as prior releases go plot wise. Rogue has it's own things but I don't want to spoil it at all. Playing 3 adds to the depth but then again, if you were going to play 3 and care at all about the modern day then you'd want to play the Ezio trilogy first.
Black Flag. A lot of side stuff to do although some of the side stuff is also in Rogue, some slightly altered. As far as ways to kill people I think they're pretty similar. Rogue might technically have more variety of environments if I remember right however I prefer Black Flag's environments.
Black Flag. A lot of people love Rogue but I found it kind of bland. Sometimes these games are better to me the 2nd time through but I've only played Rogue once. I liked Edward a lot more than Shay, although Shay's personal story as a whole was more compelling to me.
You know, I cannot for the life of me find it on my desktop, I must have accidentally deleted it. But it's really easy to make, you just convert the jpg to a svg (I used Convertio), build a couple mm tall base in your CAD program, import the svg into the program and apply it to the base as a sketch, then extrude the sketch a few more mm to your desired height. From there, you either save it as an object, or with AutoDesk Fusion 360, I can export it directly to PrusaSlicer. It only took me about 15 minutes, and most of that was spent learning how to convert the image and get it imported. Sorry!!!
And now that I think about it, I'd be willing to wager the reason I don't have the stl is because of that export directly thing, I bet I never even exported the plate as an stl, since I still hadn't learned about that feature when I first made this. Lessons learned! :D
Not in the patch notes so no.
You have the choice to fight for either, but in the end Athens loses the war and you "become a Spartan hero". You don't necessarily only fight either. My assumption is they'll wanna show how both sides are good and bad.
Well the December news announcement hinted:
> this pack will be a perfect fit for the bath Towel outfit.
So maybe one of the weapons will be a back scrubber, loofah, or perhaps a soap on a rope!
I can't even begin to imagine what the mount is going to look like.
I’d assume they would be able to but if Ubi did really lock it to only 3 items than that’s kinda scummy. I did some research and it seems like you are locked to only 3 items according to the news on their site: https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/news/152-316047-16/trials-of-the-gods-face-the-triumvirate
The relevant quote would be this: >Together, they can drop up to three items from the Anubis gear set:
Unfortunately you are correct.
P.S. Love the vids
The update that would include some of this:
Such as Nightmare Mode and Enemy Scaling; as well as the Nightmare and First Civ pack items being available in the Heka Chest finally.
Yep. Confirmed by: https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-gb/news/154-315306-16/this-month-in-assassins-creed-origins-december
> ##The Triad Awaits
> ###But it does not end here. Back in November, many of you proved worthy when you beat Anubis and Sobek in the first two Trials of the Gods. We know that not everyone had the chance to face those gods at that time but fear not, now is your time. Players will have the chance to confront all three gods.
https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/news/152-304971-16/trials-of-the-gods
> ##During each event, you will earn one piece of exclusive god-themed gear for defeating your opponent.
> ##You can test your skills as many times as you want during each event, but you will only unlock one weapon per event. Don’t worry if you miss one, you’ll have another shot to take on that god in the future.
> ##For those who prove worthy by attaining all four items in the weapon set, you will receive an exclusive legendary outfit automatically.
> #Future Trials
> ##After Anubis, there will be more Trials of the Gods on the horizon, so keep an eye on your in-game map for a sign of another Animus glitch.
Anubis was just the first event of four in the Trials, and beating him (no matter how many times you do it) will only get you the first piece of the set.
No official statement saying "this is the Hidden Blade" but the design is there.
I googled this the other day and got all I needed.
The eagles cry is in the middle somewhere, but my favorite is the Charles Lee Rap. Enjoy!
i'm working on my own aswell, did it in 3d first though and then i'm gonna print it when i find a place to do it for a decent price..
based mine off of this functionality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDRR-b979QA
works the same way as his 2.0 blade with 2 segments on the blade itself..
heres how it looks assembled https://www.dropbox.com/s/ymtn8g6mom24jlp/done.jpg
once i get it printed i will post pictures in this reddit :D
I got this as part of the Collector's Edition, which includes an artbook and a soundtrack. Can be seen here.
You can find it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.fr/Bande-Dessin%C3%A9e-AssassinS-Creed-Bloodstone/dp/2918771724/
but also on some other French online bookstores ^^
More details on this from another IGN article:
"So one of the best things about the AC series is the sensation of movement. Especially since AC III, the feeling to climbing up and horizontally has been refined into a simple, but rewarding mechanic. However, the series has always stumbled a bit when it actually came to getting down from a high vantage point. Your choices were either find a haystack, or just randomly hop off and hope for the best.
Thankfully, this is no longer a problem in Unity due to a new fluid method of downward-parkour. Now whenever you’re near the edge of a structure, you can have Arno shimmy down to the ground using the quickest method possible like some sort of French monkey. By getting rid of the nagging problem of not having a solid way of getting down from high places, Unity allows a more seamless sensation of movement that’s almost akin to Mirror’s Edge. And it’s just in time too, because things in Paris are about to get dangerous…"
Do you mean a Unity themed console? If so they are. I'm not positive if its for purchase or if it was just for a contest, but here it is.
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/assassin-creed-uniy/12370
Your system is pretty outdated and doesn't meet the minimum requirements (at least your graphics card doesn't, not sure about the cpu but it looks ok). That being said if you run everything on the lowest settings and maybe turn down the resolution you should be okay.
> My #1 rule as a monetization design consultant is that you have to respect your players: a long term relationship with your players is the foundation of all game monetization.
> There are a number of easy fixes to be more respectful of players...
In general, Ubisoft's monetization methods with Unity left a bad taste in people's mouths as the monetization tactics felt overtly disrespectful of their customers. This, coupled with the game breaking bugs for many players at launch, marred the game's release and soured its reputation. I think it made it difficult for many people to appreciate anything about the game, even though there's a lot there to appreciate imo.
There is a patent preventing such things, and I believe it should either be expiring soon, or may have already expired just recently. It prevents developers from adding "games" or "minigames" during loading screens, and anything that can be construed as that is basically illegal.
https://kotaku.com/the-patent-on-loading-screen-mini-games-is-about-to-exp-1744705351
Maybe in future games devs can start putting in things like this. Though, some skirt the line closer than others. Bayonetta's loading screens, AFAIK allow you to combo-practice on enemies. It would still cost system resources, as well.
No, it didn't. It was just a joke in a very obvious side mission you get early in the game about how all of Ubi's recent games seem to leak early. Osiris was an entirely seperate project that leaked back in 2012/2013, that many thought was related to the Prince Of Persia franchise. The Black Flag team later referenced that leak with one of the emails in Black Flag.
This is also the concept art for Korinthia or the city Corinth. You can spy a Colossus in the background, I wonder what's up with that.
It is confirmed to be in the game
> Northern Greece is full of diversity. The modern air of Makedonia contrasts with the barbaric nature of Malis, just as the salt flats and summer heat do against swampy marshes and deep forests. This is the place where you can find anything you're looking for – and plenty of things you aren't.
Source: https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/odyssey/map/northern-greece
"Circuses" refers to the large arena where chariot games would've been played. So whether it's bread and games, circuses, or entertainment, it's all the same idea.
The only way to get a steam version of the game (which still needs to be activated on Uplay) is to either buy it on Steam directly or buy a Steam key from Amazon, which is the only place that officially sells steam Keys for AC3 (and ACIV too!)
Any version of the game that activates on Uplay first is Uplay only.
The video will show the Senu toys that are already for sale over at Amazon:

If you haven't already, you could pick up the Assassin's Creed Rebellion mobile game, because the game setting follows Aguilar de Nerha and Maria's storyline. I know mobile games aren't everybody's thing, but if you are curious for more lore on Aguilar, the mobile game's one place to start.
That said, I also wish there was more material on Aguilar de Nerha and, by extension, Callum Lynch. They're cool characters.
This? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubisoft.accovenant - didn't even know it was a thing. But yeah, lets hope they don't drop it too close to Origins.
Also, "ac covenant"? Guess they couldn't make up their minds on what to call it.
Don't know, I think it would be a disservice to have him as a passing NPC in a larger game. Like:
"There's Connor. And now he's gone."
You can read more about it here.
But wait yes they do
> Prior to the release of Assassin's Creed III in 2012, creative director Alex Hutchinson talked about how it would have been a "pain" to include a female protagonist in that game because "the history of the American Revolution is the history of men." ( x )
Along with the fact that only one main Assassin in all 8 games has been a girl and apparently that's enough.
It's already listed at Barnes & Noble and Amazon with a release date of September 22, 2015.
That is poor trolling attempt, at best. It has best cinematic direction in any rpg with a ton of details that enhance the scene, tell about characters.
Good article on it: Some of witcher's character animations are still blowing people away
Check it out for yourself:
Free comic book day: Current Series with Charlotte
Good place to start with modern Assassin's Creed comics: Again, The ones with Charlotte
These are concurrent (I think) with the Templars series which link up with Uprising. That's where the Phoenix Project plotline will be concluded.
Looking at the release dates right now.. if the MD's timeline in Origins overlaps with Uprising (as their release dates do), we may be getting a different MD character.
Istanbul in that map is considerably bigger than New York. Don't forget, NY had a bit of countryside, and if you lay it over Istanbul, it's bigger. Remember the Galata district, too.
As with Jerusalem, that's OP's mistake. The scale seems about right, but OP's just used the poor district of it, not the entire city.
And Nassau's bigger than most people think. With the city itself, you've then got the swamps, fort, beaches, and other, small pockets of land.
EDIT Edited with images.
One good mini series documentary that's currently still on Netflix is Egypt
https://www.netflix.com/title/80036423?s=i
Another on YouTube is called Planet Egypt and is a 4 part series. Really good as well.
There's a ton on YouTube I've watched over the years.
IIRC, "aborigine" means "original", and it's what the Romans called the native Italians. A search on etymonline comes up with this, and I know one would call any indigenous peoples "aboriginal", so I would say that aboriginal is not a name for the peoples, but rather, a description, and therefore is not only correct, but does not really reflect the idea that anyone is naming anyone else.
Edit: I am not Australian, so I do not know how the term is used there. However, it is also used to describe the native Taiwanese when referring to them in English.
Sorry, but I heard he wasn't, watch this video. http://www.gamespot.com/assassins-creed-revelations/videos/assassins-creed-revelations-desmonds-ancestry-explained-6339000/

From Brotherhood on, all AC games have native controller support.

Heres the "Under the black flag" book I mentioned. It was recommended repeatedly in /r/AskHistorians as being a great starting point for accurate contemporary books on the golden age of piracy. Not in any way officially linked to ACIV:BF - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/under-the-black-flag-david-cordingly/1103141255?ean=9780812977226
I made a chart detailing the profits you make from every item via naval convoy, it got posted on ign:
http://www.ign.com/wikis/assassins-creed-3/Naval_Convoy_Trading_Profits
I posted it somewhere here too, and someone pointed out that your profits also depend on what sequence you are in the game. He posted the chart from the guide detailing the profit multipliers by sequence.
EDIT: Here is the link to the thread:
For anyone else considering, here are the break downs of what's included from each retailer: http://www.ign.com/wikis/assassins-creed-3/Pre_Order_Bonuses Can't really tell if there are any clear winners here. Off to Gamestop I go?
I've already said this before. Instead of "/s," we should be saying, "/sarcasm" while also linking to the definition of this word—like this:
You can get it at Green Man Gaming now for $42 plus an additional 17% discount when you use their GMG17 coupon code. So, it's $34.85 through them now. I doubt it will fall lower than that during the Steam sale.
Actually Black Flag had the longest story:
AC2 averages about 18.5 hours: http://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=651
Meanwhile, Black Flag takes people 21.5 hours to get through the main story: http://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=12707
Essentially, when you use slow poison, rather than getting the regular poison bonus you get an agony bonus instead, which is worth more.
Slower poison = more points.
They are random, but you can browse stories here and if you login, you can add up to 20 stories to your log. Those will then show in-game instead of 20 random ones.
I did not know that. Thank you
Also, quick disclaimer, there may be one or two childish pictures there, but the majority are scenes I liked.
At the bottom right corner of your map screen there’s a key that shows you what button to push to apply photo filters.
Unfortunately you have to apply them every time you open the map, if I’m not mistaken. But, good thing is, it only takes pressing 1 button a few times.
Also, your screenshots are stored here.
Let me know if you’re having troubles getting the website to cooperate.
You probably already know this but I've noticed that all (other people's) pictures that I see on my in-game map have many likes from other players. At the same time, I would expect that some filtering is taking place so the map is not covered with pictures. Totally guessing here.
You can see all pictures on Ubisoft's website
Quote from their update article: "Later this month we will increase the level cap by no less than 20 levels. This will be available for all players. For our players who have reached level 50, the XP earned before the level cap update will be rewarded with new ability points." They don't explicitly say "not levels" but everyone is just assuming they mean they'll be auto-levelled up with the update, when the video and the article specifically say skill points.
Here’s the link to the pack, basically it’s a pack with 3 free things but only one has been revealed so far.
The "mystical ancient forest" of the petrified islands, the pirate islands, the volcanic islands, snowy mountains, Athens...
Browsing https://assassinscreed.ubisoft.com/game/en-us/odyssey/map there are so many locales I can't wait to explore!
I think it's the perfect setting in the perfect time. The peloponnesian war is my favourite time period in ancient Greece. It was brutal and ended the Greek golden age. The cosmetics of the Armour and weapons are the most interesting and coolest in the whole franchise IMO. I mean Look at this https://store.ubi.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog/en_CA/dw1f88053c/images/large/5afda5f788a7e34d25b5012f-7.jpg
I've always loved Greek hoplite armour and Corinthian helms. The architecture and triremes are great and the high saturation of colour is gorgeous. The best parts about Origins were Alexandria and Cyrene for me so I'm glad we got an actual Greek game. The protagonist seems a lot better than Bayek too in appearance and attitude because you get to control some of the dialogue. The Biomes in Greece are far more diverse than what we've seen so It's far from bland.
> Wacky Items Pack – December 26
> The Wacky item pack will include a mount and four weapons. More information will be shared soon, but in the meantime, here’s a quick hint: this pack will be a perfect fit for the bath Towel outfit.
It's not misinformation.
> Anubis, Sobek, and Sekhmet form the mighty trio we’re unleashing on Ancient Egypt this week. Together, they can drop up to three items from the Anubis gear set:
> Whereas in previous weeks you could only get one weapon from the Anubis gear set, this week you will have a chance to earn three (if you don’t already have them)!
> As with the previous trials, you will be awarded one item from the set you do not already own when you beat a god for the first time during the event period. If you choose to keep fighting the gods, you will continue to earn XP and Drachmas.
All three trials of the gods will be available later this month according to this source
> Back in November, many of you proved worthy when you beat Anubis and Sobek in the first two Trials of the Gods. We know that not everyone had the chance to face those gods at that time but fear not, now is your time. Players will have the chance to confront all three gods.
