Assassins Creed Origins is the 10^th game in the series it's an action adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft it was released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One 27^th October 2017. The game is set in Egypt towards the end of the Ptolemaic period 48 to 47 BC, the game recounts the secret fictional history of some real world events. The story follows a Medjay which is an Elite paramilitary police force which protect the Pharaoh and serve as scouts and protectors of a certain region. This Medjay's name is Bayek the player will embark on a journey to explore the origins of the centuries long conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins a group of assassins who fight for peace by promoting liberty, and the Order of the Ancients which would later become the Templar order who also want peace however they want to achieve it with forced imposition of order.

 The development of AC Origins started in early 2014 it took place after the completion of Assassins Creed Black Flag up to AC black flag the game series had been released on a yearly cycle this was met with bad reception due to the copy and paste style of gameplay that happened since the first Assassins Creed was released on 13^th November 2007, this was significantly noticeable upon the release of AC Unity in 2013 which reported by Ubisoft was hailed as a gorgeous but broken gameplay experience, this is because Ubisoft spent so much time working on the tech that they didn't leave enough time for the team to create something new, the game was great in terms of artwork but unfortunately fell for the gameplay. So after the backlash received for Unity and the unfortunate lack of sales for Syndicate which would later be released in 2015 Ubisoft took a year off to create a better gaming experience.

 This trailer starts with the camera panning away from the Nile and a brief look at Egypt and the wonder that the player can inhabit throughout their time with the game, the shot then transitions over to a dead scorpion and a blurred effect of some workers in the background this instantaneously brings the viewers eye to the scorpion showing the player the harsh reality of what's to come, the camera then cuts to a shot of a masked figure being carried through the city as this is happening the musics beat gradually gets loader, a looming fog coming over the distance blocking out the sun this is a great shot to signify the power and corruption that this character is bringing to the land. The fog then transitions to a vale fantastic effect to link the 2 scenes together this links over a building where people are bowing, the scene then becomes a little darker as we see 3 men standing over a prone body doing an autopsy or embalming them as the camera pans out we see that these bodies are being mummified being prepared to be entombed in the pyramids. We then see several masked men handing out weapons as the camera pans out to Egypt a time-lapse of the pyramids being built and a red cloth closing over the land which transitions into Cleopatra stood at a war table preparing her troops for battle she knocks a scorpion off the table and places a metal horse on the map this then transitions perfectly into Caesar sitting upon his steed marching his army into combat, as the camera zooms out again we see the Pharaoh walking out to greet his people as the masked figure approaches suddenly the song lyric “we kill the flame” and an arrow is shot through the chest of the masked figure and 1 of the guards carrying him, the soldiers then fire an arrow at Bayek the main protagonist of this game from this we get to see the skill that Bayek has alongside his trusty eagle companion Senu. This trailer works really well for the introduction to the characters and the land the player will inhabit, I also think the lighting and transitions within this trailer are excellent because it gets us engaged in what's happening and make us feel compelled to buying the product, and finally the music by “Leonard Cohen – you want it darker” is a fantastic choice for the cinematic it works great as the beat becomes gradually loader as the trailer progresses, and the action becomes more intense it works really well to keep us engaged in what's going on in the trailer this used alongside the quick cuts and the smooth transitions works really well, and personally made me want to return to the franchise after taking a break from it since AC Brotherhood the third game in the franchise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK4iAjzAoas
