As Bayek, a protector of Egypt, you are thrust into a tumultuous time in Ancient Egypt\u2019s history. The struggle for power between Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy is reaching its breaking point, the menacing Order of the Ancients lurks in the shadows, and a Roman army waits outside the country\u2019s borders.

You can customize your own version of Bayek to suit your playstyle with an assortment of normal, rare, and legendary weapons, each with different characteristics and spanning a variety of bows, spears, swords, axes, shields, and more. All of this plays into a new combat system that allows for more freedom and strategy, but also makes the fierce foes you encounter more savvy and dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>A skill tree with three branches \u2013 Hunter, Seer, and Warrior \u2013 opens other possibilities. Want to throw firebombs, tame wild animals, or use poisons? The Seer path might be the best option. If you\u2019d rather expand Bayek\u2019s roster of melee attacks, letting him charge up shield-breaking strikes or develop devastatingly fast combos, the Warrior path may be where you want to spend your ability points. And if you want to-control arrows in flight or make your eagle companion distract foes, build Bayek\u2019s abilities out along the Hunter path.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-79452\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/AC1.jpg\" alt=\"Assassin's Creed Origins Screenshot\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As you increase your level and gain ability points, you\u2019ll be able to unlock more powerful weapons and skills, and <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins<\/em> offers no shortage of story quests, side missions, and spontaneous conflicts to build Bayek into a fearsome warrior. <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins<\/em> will take you across the country to the pyramids of Giza, the massive temple at Memphis, into the rough waters of the Mediterranean, and through vast deserts and lush oases \u2013 and what\u2019s more, nearly all its quests and side missions can be completed whenever and however you want, so long as you\u2019re strong enough to take them on.<\/p>\n<p>An ancient world of mystery, brutality, and adventure awaits you, and you can dive in today by downloading <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-US\/store\/p\/Assassin-s-Creed-Origins\/BZGJRJC1FGF3\">Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins<\/a><\/em> today from the Xbox Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mysteries of Cleopatra\u2019s Egypt are yours to uncover in Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins, out now on Xbox One and will be Xbox One X Enhanced for Xbox One X on November 7.
