Fall Games Preview: 20 Most-Anticipated Videogames

The setting is a new one for AC—ancient Egypt, making it chronologically the first game in the story—and it adds some new features such as hit-box-based combat, an increased emphasis on RPG elements (building on those of Black Flag from the same development team), an arena battle mode, and literal eagle vision (courtesy of your new avian companion, Senu).
