Ubisoft and IGN have shared a new gameplay video for Assassin’s Creed: Origins in which game director Ash Ismail walks us through every aspect of the brand new combat system and the gladiator arenas. Assassin’s Creed: Origins will feature a brand new combat system that seems inspired by other third-person games like Dark Souls.
The game will feature two attack moves (the light attack and the heavy attack) via which players can create combos. Players will be able dodge, shield themselves from frontal attacks, and parry enemy attacks so they can stunt their enemies. All these actions will build up the adrenaline meter which will allow players to unleash devastating attacks. Assassin’s Creed: Origins will also have more varied enemies, promises to make the fights harder, and will feature boss fights.
Regarding the gladiator arenas, Assassin’s Creed: Origins will feature multiple arenas across its world. Players will fight in small arenas as well as huge Colosseums. While the arenas will be optional, their initial introduction is through the main quest. In some arenas players will have specific weapons to use only, and in others they can use their own weapons. Naturally, each arena will have a unique boss that will stand out from all the other enemies.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins is currently planned for an October 27th release.
Enjoy!

It looks like combat system from Ryse Son of Rome. Even with 10 second boost…
deadly assassins, takes 5 minutes to take down their opponents, very deadly
i like how they think they invented this combat system, it’s another boring roll around soul clone

This is one of my most anticipated game this year, I can’t wait to get it. Personally I think it looks awesome and it will end up being the best Assassin’s Creed made thus far.
My 1080 Ti is ready.
I’m jealous of your Ti :(. Ordered it when it came out mine had a huge coil whine so i rma’ed it. Now stuck with m TitanXm cuz i spent the money elsewhere 🙁
Ah man that sucks 🙁 they where really tough to get. I used to always luck out as well especially with Evga and coil whine. Now I only get MSI cards, their gaming X series is amazing. This version was no different in quality super cold temps(max like 65-70 at max load), no whine and their epic passive mode when you are just doing work is so quiet.
Damn well I hope they send it back to you really soon, especially in time for October since that month looks crazy!
Argg i just asked for a refund. I need to buy it again. Ain’t got the money no more :(.
All well, its good to have the cash, maybe they have dropped in price by now. Well I totally recommend getting the one I have when you have saved up again: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G
I did not pay extra either, it is the coldest running Ti not on water and probably the quietest(nice built in OC too). Also most importantly no coil whine.
Well good luck, maybe Volta will drop by then but I have a feeling it be December if at all this year. Anyways a 1080 Ti will crush almost anything you give it unless you roll with a 4K, or 120hz + screen or use a multi screen config like me(aka mega large resolutions).
Yeah I totally agree as well, unless on Monday the Vega 64 crushes the 1080 and the 1080 Ti(I seriously doubt that, it be cool if it where true though). Then I am sure Nvidia may push the release forward to end of this year, it be really interesting how they would react. I doubt this will be the case though and it will be like you said.
It be nice to have a card at least 30% > than a 1080 Ti for perfect 4K 60 FPS on Ultra and it assure multi screen resolution would always be at 60 FPS on Ultra. I still find I can’t play everything on Ultra 60 FPS @ 5760×1080.
Still I am not going complain 🙂 I am very happy to have a 1080 Ti its an amazing card. My bet is the Volta 1180 Ti will be the perfect card, I bet it will = 2X a 1080 Ti!
MSI 1080 Ti Gaming X is the best card out there imo. The cooler runs quiet and keeps the temps down and overclocks very well. I’ve got a 980 Ti Gaming and it’s the best card I have ever owned. Very impressed with the cooler and the overclocking potential. I used a 970 Gaming for a little while and was impressed with it too. I used to use EVGA cards but imo the MSI Gaming series is better.
I agree. Awesome, this is pretty much what I had as well, my 980 Ti was so good. Yeah man, MSI is so well designed and quality, I really love their stuff. I am going to get their MOBO for my next upgrade instead of ASUS.
Your power bill must be insane
Its not. Not sure if you have an AMD card but with a Geforce card you just go into the NVIDIA Control Panel(right click your desktop) and make sure [ Power management mode ] is set to Adaptive. You card will pretty much turn it self off and use pretty much no electricity until you game. Basically it dynamically clocks and sets the power consumption in terms of the current GPU load of what ever you are doing on the computer.
damn yeah I’m red and they dont give us that option
Man that is crazy I would of thought they would have it by now, they are a bunch of smart people over there, no idea why you can’t have it.
This would be a huge factor on going team green or red for me since I am on my Comp 24/7(practically).
I have not hate for AMD and love their new CPUs but I will never under stand why they don’t flat out copy Nvidia’s drivers and features? Just get their engineers and software engineers to flat out boot up a comp with a Geforce in it load up Nvidia control panel and duplicate what their drivers do and then just make a new UI for it or heck don’t even bother(just make it red). It is beyond me why they don’t do this I just don’t get it 🙁
Feels more rpg. Looking forward to it. Skipped last two.
Assassins “for honor” Creed
*insert THANK YOU GIF here* 😀 😀 😀
OMG this is exactly what I thought xD I love FH (kensei main :/)
doesn’t the raging axes arena boss look like the Raider or what???
no thanks
Good, they’re moving to a combat system that’s more similar to dark souls and the like.
It’s like they’ve realised that gameplay actually matters; that the moment-to-moment actions you take in the world shape the experience as much as the world itself.
Having solid mechanics in a vast world filled with nothing meaningful (MGSV, BoTW) is better than having no engaging mechanics in a vast world filled with nothing meaningful (pretty much every AC game).
I haven’t been excited to play an AC game for quite a long time. Glad they’ve revamped the game to give long time AC fans a new experience. Though that took quite a long time XD
Edit : Lol the director actually said what I typed XD
Assassins Creed: Breath of the Wild
“when we finished black flag” Let me guess you concluded the same thing i did when i finished it, that it was a oversimplistic booring game and you need to make something completly diffirent or people will stop caring about ac.
Wow, this combat is so boring. It includes things typical for recent games like spamming dodges, attacking with too big weapons and fighting with sluggish, oversized bumpkins who attack with an astounding speed of a tortoise. All this shown with horrible animations which are sadly in vogue (good for devs; they can get away with lazy-ass animations from 2005).
I know that the previous combat systems weren’t great either, but so isn’t this one.
