Assassin's Creed Egypt: 11 Leaked Details You're Not Supposed To Know

3. It'll Take On The Witcher 3 At Its Own Game

If there's one game on the new consoles that exemplifies everything we need to see more of, it's The Witcher 3. Gorgeous graphics, a determined pace that you can accelerate or slow down depending on what quest you're undertaking, and some of the best characters ever written to code.

Interestingly for AC then, a choice comment states that Ubisoft are aiming for "a Witcher feel, with player progression freeform combat system."

All they need to do is make sure the combat mechanics are as tight and responsive as at least Shadow of Mordor, and then pepper the world with assassination missions and fun quests to indulge in. The Witcher's appeal lies in its world design, and how even the most random NPC on a country road corner can give you as meaningful a quest as a story character.

The leak goes on, " horse is back, and boats too. It's made by the Black Flag team" which is a huge boon to fans of that game's approach to mission layout. Lastly, there's supposed to be "a focus on adventure" alongside a burgeoning narrative, which falls in line with everything Black Flag did well. We always knew Kenway's story and it was fun enough to dabble in, but sailing out on the seven seas had far greater appeal, exuding a sense of exploration that the past games had lacked since Altair first tore off on his own steed in AC 1.
