Assassin’s Creed Origins new 4K trailer featuring the Order of the Ancients

Ubisoft released a new 4K trailer this morning of its upcoming action-adventure game Assassin’s Creed Origins. 

The new clip features the villains in the game: The Order of the Ancients.

The Order of the Ancients is a secret society in Egypt who controls the most powerful people into doing their bidding. According to the video, “The Order of the Agents, mysterious figures who seek the power of the ancient Gods. Hidden and faceless, they control the Pharoah from the shadows. From the Nile delta to Siwa, their grasp for might and control is limitless. When the Order craves something, no one can stand in their way.”

The narrator then tells protagonist Bayek, “They are the reason for your pain and anger. If you do not act, this country will burn to the ground. The Order will tear our Egypt apart. What will you do, Medjay?”

The trailer showcases snippets of gameplay. It mainly showcases the beauty put into this game – beautiful war elephants (which sadly, you’d have to battle), fight scenes including in a Colosseum, horse play, and even huge battles between armies. It looks absolutely stunning, especially in 4K (click on the video’s 2160p option).

Assassin’s Creed Origins will launch for PS4, Xbox One and PC on October 27th.

Check out the trailer below:
