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

1. It's A Prequel/Full Reboot, Set In Ancient Egypt

At some point, the only thing Ubisoft could do to wrap up their horrifically maligned plot was to wipe the slate clean, and that was either going to be as a continuation of the main thread (probably by seeing some character in the Miles bloodline get trapped in an Animus forever) or what they're actually doing - forgetting the other games and starting over from scratch.

A note from the leak mentions the era of Ancient Egypt has been chosen, as it has "the least amount of historical documentation, for freedom". Even in the real world, this time period tends to be discussed with just enough of a framework to allow for confirmed events and iconography, all alongside plenty of room to expand.

Interestingly, the entire thing is set before the events of all the past games, "before the Assassins and Templars even existed", begging the question - are we going to see the origin of the order itself? What is an Assassin's Creed game, without any assassins?

Answers in the comments, as at the very least, this is all very interesting considering at this stage in 2015 we knew all all about Syndicate's release schedule later that year.
