Released on October 27th of 2017, Assassin's Creed Origins is the successor to the Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the action-adventure stealth game takes place in ancient Egypt, near the end of the Ptolemaic period (49–47 BC), a kingdom ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty. Receiving positive critic reviews, the game features a more than ever open-world map, and reworked gameplay-system, such as the mini-map being replaced by a Skyrim-style compass, uncluttering the HUD and therefore rendering the landscape more immersive than ever.
