Some of the details on the maganize:

• Started working on game before unity • Brand new fighting system • New A.I. • No minimap but a elder scrolls type compass at top • No more sprinting button, speed depends on analog stick • Crouching is back • Story is being kept a secret • Eagle vision is a subtle pulse that highlights objects not enemies • Takes place during the ascent and reign of cleopatra • You can climb everything in the game • Large and small cities with many landmarks including Memphis and Alexandria • The controllable eagle leak was true • NPC's have a day/night cycle and includes time for them to eat, sleep, work, and "answer the call of nature" • Attack buttons are the right shoulder and trigger • A.I. does not take turns to attack • New combat system is more hit-box driven • As you fight, an adrenaline gauge fills up, and when both attack buttons are pressed powerful attacks are unleashed • Left shoulder button is lock on • There are treasures to find in the depths of the water (sunken ships, long-forgotten ruins) • Stat element of customization is removed • New gear system where players can improve specific parts of your gear by crafting materials • Leveling system that has a level cap of 40 • Bayek is not the only playable character in the game but that character is a secret • There are legendary items to loot in the game • You can add blocked arrows to your inventory • You can no longer one hit enemies that are more powerful than you with your hidden blade • Buttons for free-running up and down are removed • Puzzles are back but more challenging and less switches • Much more in depth ability graph with 3 paths (Seer, Warrior, Hunter) • There are gladiator battles in arenas

If this is all legit

This can potentially be a great game. Not good, but actually great.

Pretty legit, the images of the maganize confirms it.

My first lore question is will we recruit Brutus? Since Bayek is the founder of the Assassin's Brotherhood and Brutus was one of the Assassins that killed Julius Caesar, I can't see it nothing happening in the game.

I of course never confirm until its official. Rather not over hype myself before I hear about the PRE ORDER DLC BONUS OF HALF THE GAME!

It's ancient egypt so day one for me.

And last AC i bought was black flag.

[Gallahadd]

You had me at "Seer, Warrior, Hunter".

Day one purchase.

[supertigerlamp]

Had me at Cleopatra. It'd be interesting if she were the hidden playable character to see another facet of her rather than just the movie/tv characterizations.

[Belize]

I can't wait to climb Obelisks to reveal the map around me.

[Zephyr Storm]

Granted, this is a video game, but some of that armor looks way to advanced for ancient Egypt.

[ali725]

seems like a great idea...good they waited a long time instead of releasing Assassins creed every years.. might actually buy this day one or wait like 3 weeks when it goes to 40ish

It's ancient egypt so day one for me.

Based on the mention of Cleopatra, it sounds like its actually at the end of Ptolemaic Egypt right before Rome annexed it, so like ~50-30BC.

Not that ancient, Cleopatra's days were right at the end of Egypt's relevance. IIRC they were a macedonian province at the time and shortly to become a roman one.

It looks just like roman armor, which is just about right, especially since Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy XII, regained his throne with the help of roman legions and many stayed in Egypt as a garrison (the Gabiniani).

Even better perhaps we will see some Romans stationed there, Mark Antony, Ceasar or Octavian could makes a cameo there. I would be pleased just to see some roman soldiers here and there but if not egypt will still be very nice to roam around.

Perhaps as a roman dlc.

Egypt, I like it. Still waiting for that feudal Japan setting, probably never get it

I feel Japan would feel generic... like even more generic than AC is at this point if it becomes a Ninja game.

I think with the Shogunate and the feudal era, you could have a very interesting setting. And it would really be up to the story and the writers.

Weebs are the worst people to offend on the internet. It has to be perfect or they will be the core of a giant hate machine.

[Jimusmc]

so about the sprint.. how would that work for keyboard+mouse?

for the older ones controller was the way to go. but since black flag keyboard and mouse have been fine.

[Mister Cheese]

I hope they bring hidden areas back. I miss those from the Ezio trilogy.
