Another Assassin’s Creed Origins leak suggests release date, game length, Friday reveal and much more

Earlier today, another leak detailed more of what could be featured in Assassin's Creed Origins, as well as answered a couple questions. This leak comes after a 4chan leak that was recently revealed and Ubisoft's confirmation that the game will indeed release this year.

According to the new leak, the game will be released October 31st, 2017  – however – that date could easily be a placeholder for an October or Fall release. On top of that, the game will get its first gameplay trailer at the end of this week – which means how true any of this leak is can be proved on Friday, depending on whether the trailer drops or not.

Apparently, there have been three "real leaks" since last year and they were all "coordinated." In addition to this, the leaker stated that the game will feature "11 sequences, 20-hour main story with around 10% modern-day."

Luckily, one Redditor gathered all of the information and put it in one place.

The leak, as per Reddit's summary:

• First Trailer on Friday, will be reveal trailer

• First gameplay at E3 + a CGI trailer

• Charlotte will be the MD protagonist

• "Balek -> Rift", " Shed -> MC"

• "Desmond will be in the game – maybe not the way you would imagine"

• The map is 3 times the size of Black Flag, will have Egypt + Mediterranean Sea

• "Assassin´s Creed: Origins" is the official title of the new game.

• The game will take place in Roman Egypt, we will have smaller rifts that take place "way before that"

• The rifts are going to be comparable to the one in Syndicate and will be "closed" open worlds.

• The main campaign takes place in "100/200 AD Roman Egypt"

• The combat is "a slightly better version of Witcher 3", will be way more tactical than previous AC titles. "5% old animations – 95% new animations."

• There will be sailing

• Gameplay mechanics will be closer to Unity

• When asked about Juno the leaker repeats "expect the unexpected"

• "Baled" and "Shed" have something in common

• The leaker can't confirm all of the things in the 4chan leak, "but maybe some things changed over the development process"

• Release date is set for 10/31/17

• There will be a rift during the Napoleonic wars, but we won't play as Arno

• The combat system is all about the parry mechanism

• Modern Day will play like AC III, but will be larger and more interactive. In terms of hours it will be around 10% of the main story.

• There will be NPCs we can recruit like in previous titles.

• "Is eagle vision still in the game or is it this eagle mechanic taking over?" Answer: "It is in the game, but…"

• Says there are "Some questionmarks about the time and place of the 3rd game of the "trilogy" ", which is apparently why it isn't confirmed to be a trilogy yet.
