Assassin’s Creed: Empire is another yet-to-be-launched episode of the early-bestselling adventure series , about the eternal rivalry between the Assassins and Templars . After some epic adventures, chronologically set in the age of the Crusades, the Italian Renaissance, the American War of Independence, the golden age of piracy, the French Revolution and the Victorian era, this time we go back to the distant past – until the times of ancient Egypt. The next part of Ubisoft’s epic saga produced the Montreal-based company’s in-house studio – a team whose core is responsible, among others. For Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag .
Story
In terms of features, Assassin’s Creed: Empire is a kind of prequel to the entire cycle, moving players into the most distant times of ancient Egypt, so long before the events shown in the previous parts of the series. During the game we play as a slave with a slightly darker complexion, being the distant ancestor of Altair – the hero of Assassin’s Creed . Thanks to embedding the stock in a relatively poorly documented historical period, the whole is probably the biggest (compared to previous cycle views) freedom in the plot.
Mechanics
The general foundations of Assassin’s Creed: Empire do not differ significantly from those of the previous series – so we still have an adventure game in which action sequences or carefully planned assassinations are just a complement to the actual gameplay . To explore and perform further tasks. Of course, the course has been adjusted to quite new for the real cycle, so the game returns. The ability to move on horse’s bunks or travel by boat. The emphasis was also placed on the variety of combat mechanics and the player’s progress and development of the controlled character.
Game modes
Assassin’s Creed: Empire is a game set primarily for one-man games. Complete resignation from some of the previous stages of the co-op mode.
Technical issues
Assassin’s Creed: Empire has relatively little use of the previous Assassins , and one of the few uses by the creators of the previous installments of the series is character animations. Of course, the world of the game has been adapted to quite new historical realities and mapped to the right pietist series, and proof of that can be eg the miracles appearing in the desert. At the same time, its size has grown considerably, about three times that of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
It must be noted that according to Polish friends of The Codex, the website is known to share speculations of its editors. So the points above are merely discussions of the initial rumor plus speculations of what could be implemented into the next game.
