Rumor: Next Assasin's Creed Named Origins, Features 2 Protagonists & Naval Combat



Next Assassin's Creed is Named Origins, Rumoured to Feature Naval Combat

Under the veil of anonymity, Ubisoft sources have approached us to provide fresh details from this year’s Assasin's Creed game.

Previously, the good folks at Kotaku indicated that the project’s working title was Assassin’s Creed Empire, and that it would take place in Egypt. Since then, we’ve received new information that suggests the game is now called ‘Assassin’s Creed Origins’ and is currently scheduled to be revealed at E3 2017.

Our sources suggest that Origins is a vast open world experience taking place in ancient Egypt. The story is rumoured to revolve around the original assassin’s guild and will feature two main characters - a man and a woman.

Its structure is said to be less linear, featuring a character progression system less tied to the story. A development source we spoke to compared it numerous times to Bethesda’s Skyrim. They say that impressions of the project internally are so far positive.

The game will apparently grant the player considerably more freedom, featuring a greater emphasis on exploration over previous entries in the series. One source tells us that this is the biggest Assassin’s Creed the company has ever created and is “huge” in scope. They say that it has been in development for “at least” several years now.

Not only is Origins rumoured to boast an explorable ancient Egypt, players will also apparently be able to go beyond it - possibly even as far as Greece. We were told that boats will return in the game, allowing the player to sail the Mediterranean. Naval combat, naturally, is also said to be included.

Another source linked with Ubisoft described to us an internal video they were shown of a teaser for Origins. It apparently began by showing scenes of Egypt, before transitioning between different periods and locations throughout history, including an Asian country, WW2 era France, and a modern day Abstergo Industries facility. It isn’t yet clear whether this video, a blend of gameplay footage and CGI, will be shown to the public in its current form.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is currently set to launch in fall 2017.

Alleged leaked screen of Assassin’s Creed: Origins
《刺客信条：起源》疑似首张截图曝光！



　　这几个星期来差不多每一天都有关《刺客信条：起源》的情报逐渐多了起来，而 reddit 论坛上今天还有人曝光了一张疑似《刺客信条：起源》的游戏截图。

　　这张泄露的截图是采用屏摄的手段进行保存，我们可以清晰看到一名身着古老服饰的角色正在一条河上划船，有人指出这条船正是古埃及传统的“太阳船”。图片上还出现了森林和港口场景，这可能意味着游戏会增加更多探索元素。

　　此外我们还注意到，截图的左上角出现了类似任务标注的文字“assassinate the crocodile（刺杀鳄鱼）”，有人推测这个“鳄鱼”是某一敌人的外号，才需要用上“刺杀”的词汇。

　　而Reddit上眼尖的网友还看清了另一行文字上所写的内容“跟着Shadya去Khneut的别墅”（Follow Shadya to Khenut's Villa）。而这位网友经过搜索之后发现，古埃及历史上就有这么一位名叫Khneut的王后。她是古埃及第五王朝最后一位法老王乌尼斯（Unas）的王后。而这位法老在位期间发生了一场战争和大饥馑，而后者更使古王国时代结束了黄金时代，开始衰落。

　　当然可能出现的这位Keneut只是和埃及王后同名而已，更何况本次的截图真实性无法验证，各位玩家们最好还是不要太当真为妙。

　　由于这张截图来源于Reddit论坛上网友的爆料，其真实性未知，有待进一步的验证

An all-new combat system offers unique opportunities to master space and time while on the battlefield, and a revamped looting and crafting system gives players the freedom to craft their own equipment to aid them in battle.

Ubisoft updates logo with new swirl, font
育碧更换全新Logo标志 风格更加简洁

　　育碧官方宣布将用启用一个新的公司 Logo 标志图案来替代之前的 Logo 商标，从下面这张图中你可以看到新 Logo 的具体样貌。上个Llogo 自 2003 年开始使用，到现在已经用了 14
年。这是这家法国发行商在过去 31 年来做出的第四次Logo修改。

　　值得一提的是，这张Logo图点开大图后能明显看到一片树林的背景，虽然妄自推测显得很不负责任，不过希望这个背景正是出自一款育碧新作。

　　如今的育碧已经是一家综合性大公司，不再局限于开发和发行游戏。除了游戏外，育碧涉足的领域还有书籍，漫画，电影，电视剧和游乐场。

　　育碧品牌经理Courtney Riss告诉外媒，“为了重塑和赋予我们的品牌一个无限制的生命，我们感觉有必要在视觉上做出改变。”

　　产品商标或是公司Logo都会随着设计界的趋势而进行变化，近年来Logo的设计愈发朝简洁方向发展，从下面这张图中的育碧Logo变迁史中，我们就能发现育碧的Logo也一步步变得更加简洁风。至于为何更换Logo，育碧表示他们将新Logo设计为极简、现代和单色的，是为了体现出人类最原始的创造热情以及好奇心。

历史：

　　成立初期用的是一个红色的Logo，在80 年代这样的Logo很流行。那时候的育碧还只是当地的游戏发行商。

　　9 年之后，《雷曼》（Rayman）横空出世，Logo上加了一道彩虹。这使育碧从一个发行商转变成了一个游戏开发商，并确立了其以家庭游戏为主要游戏内容的厂商性质。

　　2003 年，育碧的漩涡第一次出现，标志着公司的又一次转变。他们收购了 Red Storm 并开始发行 Tom Clancy 署名的系列游戏，开始部署更加多样化，更加成熟的市场战略。到现在，育碧更换了一个更现代化的Logo和字体，极简的抽象的艺术风格，当代风格的单色设计。漩涡和字母O被故意设计成怀旧的手绘风格，展示出人类灵魂深处的热情和好奇，诠释了育碧为人所知的“Grain de folie”。

　　在迎接新 Logo 时，也让我们怀念一下之前那个经典的螺旋标志，它在2003年正式成为育碧的新标识，同年育碧也从UbiSoft Entertainment（育碧娱乐）也将改名为ubisoft（育碧）。

Say Hello to the New Ubisoft Swirl

We are very excited to introduce you to the new Ubisoft swirl!

The new swirl is an evolution of our existing logo that marks a new era for Ubisoft, one with an increased focus on live and digital games as well as a player-centric approach to creating immersive worlds.

As you can see, things have changed a little over the years:



It all started in 1986 with this rad design – a look inspired by the distinct visual style of the ’80s. At the time, Ubisoft was a local distributor of video games.

Nine years later, Rayman was born and Ubisoft introduced the rainbow. This marked the company’s shift from distributor to creator, and highlighted the fact that Ubisoft was creating mainly family-oriented content.

In 2003, the swirl appeared on the scene and once again signaled a shift. It followed the acquisition of Red Storm and the creation of new Tom Clancy titles, marking a more mature and diversified approach.

Today, we create worlds – worlds that live as video games, comics, movies, TV shows, books, and amusement park rides. Our new logo is minimalist, modern and monochromatic. It’s a window into our worlds, giving a preview of what’s to come by highlighting the artistry that goes into creating them. The swirl and the letter O are both deliberately created to be reminiscent of hand-drawn shapes and represent our human qualities of enthusiasm, curiosity and the grain de folie that Ubisoft is known for.

With this new look, we proudly embrace our role as a creator of worlds and invite you, the players, to continue playing, engaging, and growing with us. As we move towards our most exciting time of the year (E3!), you will see this new emblem take on the colors and textures of our worlds, and we can’t wait to hear what you all think.

Ubisoft announces virtual reality thriller Transference

Ubisoft has announced Transference, a new virtual reality thriller due out in spring 2018 for PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift, as well as PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Here’s an overview of the game, via Ubisoft:

The psychological thriller Transference was announced today at the Ubisoft Press Conference at E3 2017. The game is being developed for VR, console, and PC through a collaboration between FunHouse, a division of Ubisoft Montreal, and SpectreVision, a production company founded by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, and John C. Waller. “The opportunity to work with SpectreVision to create a game with rich characters and an intimate yet multi-branching narrative was impossible to pass up,” said Caroline Martin, Executive Director, FunHouse, Ubisoft Montreal. Transference is scheduled to release in spring 2018 on PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift, as well as Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

The game is set inside a digital recreation of a mind, and is partially inspired by real-life research that measures brain waves in an effort to visually recreate dreams. Players will seek to uncover the mysteries concealed by a family and the home they live in. As they explore the house, players will meet the members of the family, each with their own perspective and memories. How the player chooses to proceed will have consequences that affect the fate of the family.

“The game is a thrilling mixture of both our experience in story-telling and Ubisoft’s unparalleled skill at crafting deeply immersive worlds,” said Elijah Wood, Creative Director, SpectreVision. “We jumped at the chance of working in VR with Ubisoft and we believe we have a beautiful and haunting game that will really resonate with players, even after they’ve taken off their headset.”
