New trailers released this evening from E3 show the new plans for the next instalment in the Assassins Creed series of games from Ubisoft. The setting is ancient Egypt and in it, you play as Ba Yek, an Egyptian assassin. Egypt has plenty of large cities to navigate and of course ancient tombs and caves to explore so I think it is a really good choice of location. I think the change in scenery and new features will really reignite the series of games and bring it back to a version of Assassins Creed which we all love. The E3 reveal trailer comments already confirmed there will be more RPG aspects to the game, allowing greater levels of character customisation. Also from the videos Ba Yek carriers a shield and sword, this indicates that the combat will be slightly different and perhaps a new take on the original fighting style will be applied. The game play shows lots of sneaking around and stealth, featuring lots of bow and arrow action which again is really cool. Check out some trailers below.
