Used the search function but I couldn't find it. Leaked on Facebook through UNILAD Gaming, but they have since deleted it. Can't embed it, so click click click.

Kassandra looks like an interesting character. I'll definitely do two playthroughs to play as each.

Big Origins fan. The reboot was fantastic. But i am just not feeling this. Just seeing the enemies they almost look like a different paint job and done.

More Origins is good, but the naval bit is somewhat concerning, hoping they aren't forced this time. They got boring way too quickly in AC4.

Also that armor is pretty awesome on the female lead.

Bit disappointing that both characters have the same story, would have wished their stories were unique to them so you could replay as the other and discover new details and things from their perspectives.

You can play as a Female Protag who was trained by Spartans.

Countdown to dipshits complaining about that.

Excited to try it. Always impressed by the world building they pull off and for me, that alone is worth the buy

That looks generally BAD. I hope it's just the video quality plus early footage, (pre) alpha or whatever.

Looks like a more open ended Origins with more emphasis on player choice and customization.

Kassandra it is. Hope we see a lot more of this in today's conference.

Yeah, I'm skipping this one as well - haven't played an AC game since IV. I dunno what it is exactly, they've pretty much overhauled everything in the franchise but I'm just not feeling it and I'm usually a big sucker for open world games. It's just that the AC universe feels so uninspiring imo.

Polygamous relationships confirmed. The female character is shown in one option to be thirsty for both a man and his girlfriend.
