In an interview with Assassin’s Creed Historian, Maxime Duran (in French), he refers to the importance of the meta-story (referred to as meta-histoire) which refers to First Civilization/Isu story and the present day and that there will be playable segments of that part in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game “Origins”. Here’s a translation of what was written in the original article:
This long interview, which you are invited to listen to in its entirety if you understand a little English, is interesting for many other reasons, even if it does not accurately reveal real scoops.
For my part, I was, for example, very attentive to the part on the “meta-history”, the famous events of the present … It seems that the teams can say absolutely nothing about it but in spite of everything Ashraf Ismail has Could leave a reassuring “I think people will be happy “.
During E3, when I was able to speak with Assassin’s Creed’s “historian”, Maxime Durand ( Assassin’s Creed Origins, our interview with the series historian ), he also confirmed that There would be a story in the present, and the latter would be playable.
It is worth mentioning that while some may speculate that this could refer to the playable rifts and time anomalies such as those shown in AC:Unity and Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed: Origins director Ashraf Ismail previously confirmed that there won’t be any time anomalies in Origins, yet while Bayek will be the primary protagonist of the game, there will be other playable character(s), which could highly suggest playable modern day segments.
