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

2. A 'Big Focus' On Story

Although the AC formula of fighting and super sleuthing your way around is pretty solid, the idea of trying to introduce an entirely new protagonist in every single game just made most of them completely forgettable. You could make some point about their identity being the assassin apparel and way of life, but it's always what's underneath that gave guys like Ezio or Edward Kenway a real reason to stick around.

AC III served up an entire hour of gameplay as Haythem Kenway before starting over as Connor, and for as much as Unity and Syndicate's Arno and the Frye twins were well acted and believable in their roles, it was impossible to really care about anything they did in a wider sense, as there's never any real continuity.

With a reboot comes an entirely new set of characters, and if Ubi the time to flesh out a completely new personality from the ground up to give their progression a solid arc across what would be around 100 hours, it could be the best one yet. The scope to tell an emotionally-involving tale around someone's involvement with the assassin order as a means to enact any sort of personal tale has always been there - so let's see Ubi pull it off again.
