The game industry is full of leaky faucets. None have it worse than Ubisoft, who can't seem to keep anything secret. Throughout almost the entire Assassin's Creed series, each game has been leaked in one way or another. This next one, supposedly titled Origins, is no different.
Yet again, another leak. This one comes from... a t-shirt? Wow. Oh, Ubisoft. Take a look at the image below.
This give us the best look at the game's lead character we've had yet. Even though it's a back shot, we can see a bow in one hand and a shield in the other. I think we may also know his name, Ba Yek. I mean, my hieroglyphics are a bit rusty, but I think we can make out that much.
The image first popped up on a Facebook fan page, of all places, and then, of course, Reddit got their hands on it.
Looking at the background, there's an image of a winged scarab, a common Egyptian symbol. This lines up with earlier reports that Egypt would be the setting for the next Assassin's Creed, previously rumored to be subtitled Empire, now Origin.
After taking a full year off from the franchise, I'm actually excited to go back to an Assassin's Creed, assuming they shake up the old formula and give us something new. Ubisoft confirmed the next game will release during the current fiscal year, so sometime before March 2018. I'll be expecting good things.
In the meantime, I hope Ubisoft finds a good plumber.
