Assassin's Creed Origins: 12 New Gameplay Features You Need To Know

4. Elephant-Based Combat

Possibly a reach as to their implementation, but comb through the remaining frames of the trailer and you'll happen upon this rather be-speckled chap. Now, elephants were included in Far Cry 4 as rideable creatures you could totall level enemy fortresses with, though I doubt they'll serve the same purpose here.

Instead, as you can tell from the small box on the elephant's back - and the dangling ribbon used to climb up - there's every opportunity for Ubisoft to "do a Lord of the Rings", as Ba Yek could easily mimic Legolas' Oliphant takedown from Return of the King.

Clambering up their side, emptying out the hut on top and finishing by either killing the beast or setting it free?

Bring.that.ON.
