All those Assassin’s Creed Origins’ (opens in new tab) rumours seem to have been confirmed via a Target pre-order card for the game, along with a Gold edition steelbook and its first DLC mission.
Here’s the full card (opens in new tab):
Perhaps the most interesting thing is that eagle. Various Assassin’s Creed Origin’s leaks and rumours (opens in new tab) have suggested we won’t have towers and sync points this time. The big new feature instead is the use of an eagle called Akhom to scout areas and identify landmarks.
That looks certainly like an eagle on the main character’s shoulder. The new hero was rumoured to be called Bayek and, based on this, that’s looking increasingly on the money.
Elsewhere you can see that this card is for the ‘Assassin’s Creed Origins Steelbook Gold Edition’ which comes with the ‘deluxe pack’ and season pass. The reservation card also gets you the first bonus mission, called ‘Secrets of the First Pyramid.’
You can get everything we know about Assassin’s Creed Origins here (opens in new tab) and, just a hunch, we might see more at E3. You can check out our full E3 2017 schedule (opens in new tab) to make sure you don’t miss any of the conferences.
