Assassin's Creed Origins Dev on Recreating Pyramids and Staying Miles away from 'Floating Collectibles'

2 minutes read

Assassin’s Creed Origins will undoubtedly be essentially the most anticipated blockbuster games due this holiday season. After having a year off, Ubisoft took the time to craft an activity that seemingly improved on several shortcomings talked about by the community.

For example, one common complaint directed to previous entries is usually that the games were jam-packed with filler content that did not really have plenty of value.

This isn’t the case anymore in Assassin’s Creed Origins, based on the developers. In reality, in the interview published on November’s GamesMaster magazine (issue #322), Game Director Ashraf Ismail said:

[-] not only is Egypt a location you should explore as it is an enormous amount of unique locations but by using some time to go there you are likely to find something which has value for you personally, whether that’s lore or gameplay. We’re staying distant from that which we call ‘floating collectibles’. We want things on the earth to get meaning.

When we did more or less everything research on Egypt we found all of these really kooky, unique people. Real people, real events that will be more compact than the grand stage C the Cleopatra/Caesar stuff C and we asked ourselves ‘how can we provide these experiences, these stories to players?’ and quest structure was the most obvious choice. Such as, clearly there was a scribe in the north of Egypt who has been enthusiastic about beer. He wrote papyrus after papyrus concerning the value and effect of beer throughout his life. With the exceptional views changed as time proceeded. This is usually a character you meet in the technology race and experience his unique perspective.

Ismail also brought up problems of properly recreating Egypt’s iconic pyramids in Assassin’s Creed Origins, though he reckons the architecture will be 100% a match.

The pyramids took a while. The Giza plateau had numerous iteration. We would have liked to nail the total amount. Ensuring that we actually respected the architecture.

The architecture is respected almost 100%. Each of the chambers, all of the corridors are definitely the very same ones. Same angles! We’ve added each of our hidden chambers that have not been found yet this is where we infuse our lore. We place a lots of effort to ensure that first it worked gameplay, nonetheless it was what’s very respectful of what’s known and what is there inside the whole region of Giza when using the Sphinx, the good Pyramid, small pyramids. It took a long time to acquire it right.

The latest chapter (the earliest when it comes to the in-game setting) of Assassin’s Creed is caused by launch on October 27th for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The system requirements were revealed yesterday.
