Assassin's Creed Set For 'Big Comeback' With 10th Anniversary 'Origins' Game

After two years dormant, the "Assassin's Creed" series is set to make its big comeback, Friday, October 27, with a special episode focusing on the origins of the Assassin Brotherhood. A milestone release, "Assassin's Creed Origins" lands ten years after the Ubisoft video games franchise first made its debut. In 2007, the "Assassin's Creed" video game was released for PS3 and Xbox 360. Players discovered a game combining action, adventure and undercover infiltration, in a context drawing on science fiction and history. The original "Assassin's Creed" took gamers to the Middle East during the age of the Third Crusade, stepping into the role of Altaïr, a member of the Assassin Brotherhood fighting against the Templars.!
