Assassin's Creed Origins on Xbox One

Those who have digitally pre-ordered Assassin’s Creed: Origins on their Xbox One console can now pre-download the game in preparation of its October 27th release date. The game is several gigs in size so pre-downloading it ahead of time means that users can play it as soon as it launches instead of waiting potentially hours for it to download on the day.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins is the latest game in the popular Assassin’s Creed series that’s set in Egypt and takes place before any of the previous entries. Here’s the official game description and pre-order link:

Ancient Egypt, a land of majesty and intrigue, is disappearing in a ruthless fight for power. Unveil dark secrets and forgotten myths as you go back to the one founding moment: The Origins of the Assassin’s Brotherhood.

A NEW STORY EVERY TIME YOU PLAY: Engage into multiple quests and gripping stories as you cross paths with strong and memorable characters, from the wealthiest high-born to the most desperate outcasts.

EMBRACE ACTION-RPG: Experience a completely new way to fight. Loot and use dozens of weapons with different characteristics and rarities. Explore deep progression mechanics and challenge your skills against unique and powerful bosses.
