The latest edition of Game Informer magazine features tons of details about the new Assassin’s Creed game, called Assassin’s Creed Origins, and is also featured on the cover. The cover images can be seen below, followed by notes about what the game will be all about.
Here are the major points you need to know:
Started working on game before unity
Brand new fighting system
New A.I.
No minimap but a elder scrolls type compass at top
No more sprinting button, speed depends on analog stick
Crouching is back
Story is being kept a secret
Eagle vision is a subtle pulse that highlights objects not enemies
Takes place during the ascent and reign of cleopatra
You can climb everything in the game
Large and small cities with many landmarks including Memphis and Alexandria
The controllable eagle leak was true
NPC’s have a day/night cycle and includes time for them to eat, sleep, work, and “answer the call of nature”
Attack buttons are the right shoulder and trigger
A.I. does not take turns to attack
New combat system is more hit-box driven
As you fight, an adrenaline gauge fills up, and when both attack buttons are pressed powerful attacks are unleashed
Left shoulder button is lock on
There are treasures to find in the depths of the water (sunken ships, long-forgotten ruins)
Stat element of customization is removed
New gear system where players can improve specific parts of your gear by crafting materials
Leveling system that has a level cap of 40
Bayek is not the only playable character in the game but that character is a secret
There are legendary items to loot in the game
You can add blocked arrows to your inventory
You can no longer one hit enemies that are more powerful than you with your hidden blade
Buttons for free-running up and down are removed

There are gladiator battles in arenas
And then there are even more details:
Bayek starts as a Medjay (sheriff type character) and is in his 30s.
He will become the founder of the Brotherhood (I don’t know how this makes sense lore wise?)
Customization – you can choose the look you want without this affecting stats!!
Eagle vision is indeed through an eagle – called Senu
Memphis and Alexandria are some cities
Can equip two bows and two melee weapons at once. Also can use fists again.
Can fire multiple arrows at once (ON A ** CAMEL!)
Ptolemaic era
Mini map replaced for a navigation type one (like Skyrim and Horizon)
You will have to enhance your hidden blade (I think it says something along the lines of stealth kills not being a one hit kill anymore)
Free form combat, no counters, has an adrenaline thing that builds up as you fight
Horses and camels confirmed
The Crocodile is indeed a target!
Can dive underwater
Tomb raiding
They say nothing about the modern day
Anything is climbable including mountains and rocks
