Assassin's Creed: Origins

[DELUS1ONAL]

Ubisoft has confirmed there will be a new Assassin's Creed released this year (supposedly called Origins). The AC franchise in my opinion is one of the best in gaming and I am hoping they knock it out of the park after taking a year off.

Can't say I haven't like a game in the series yet. Looking forward to this!

I believe Syndicate was released in 2015.

I felt the same way, but he's right, it was 2015. I enjoyed it, but got part way through and I've realized I have AC fatigue. Maybe this'll wake me up a bit. Black Flag was a bit better/different, so this might be more like that?

Syndicate was released in 2015. I completed it 100% and enjoyed it very much. Pure single player only which was perfect for me. 8.5/10.

Very pumped for Origins. Franchise wise, the order for me is Rogue (9.5/10), Black Flag (9/10), Syndicate (8.5/10), Unity (8/10) and Liberation HD (7/10).

I'm expecting Origins to be the best or at worst, third best for me personally. Can't wait for the gameplay walkthrough at E3.
