News: With Assassin’s Creed Origins only a few days away you can whet your appetite by checking out this launch trailer.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is getting set to be released later this week. Set in Ancient Egypt at the time of Cleopatra, Assassin’s Creed Origins will take players back to the very beginning, as they discover the origins of the Assassin’s Creed itself. With an entire country to explore, from deserts to lush oases, from the Mediterranean Sea to the tombs of Giza, players will be able to uncover the lost secrets of Ancient Egypt, unearthing hidden tombs, exploring the Great Pyramids, and discovering the stories of mummies, the gods and the last pharaohs. The game is a brand new vision for the franchise, embracing Action-RPG elements, where players level up, loot, and choose their abilities to customise their very own skilled Assassin. They will also experience a completely new combat system, allowing them to attack and defend multiple enemies at once, fighting against dangerous factions and wild beasts as they explore a gigantic and unpredictable land.

With the game being so close to release Ubisoft has also recently revealed what the season pass will look like. If you choose to purchase the season pass you will receive the following content:

DLC 2 - The Curse of the Pharaohs
