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

9. Scout Areas With A Pet Eagle (Yes, Really)

Ubisoft aren't ones to miss a trick when it comes to porting over assets between their games, and as they're currently developing both the all-singing, all-animal-controlling Far Cry Primal alongside Eagle Flight for the PlayStation VR, the same functionality is going to be front and centre in the new AC.

Scouting areas ahead hasn't been done in the AC series, but the nearest comparisons are either Splinter Cell: Blacklist's flyable drone camera or Darksiders II's crow, Dust.

Either way, 2016 sees Ubisoft going up against Rayman-creator Michel Ansel's latest game Wild, which also features various controllable animals and hey, also an eagle, making it something of a theme for this year right off the bat.
