Apparently, the size of Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Origins game has become a topic of discussion amongst fans of the franchise. Recently, Assassin's Creed Origins game director Ashraf Ismail sat down with Game Informer to discuss the size of the open world. While he didn't give a definitive answer, he did compare it to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
"If I compare it to previous games in the past, I don't actually know the exact numbers [for Origins], but I would say that it's at least twice the size of Havana from Black Flag," Ismail said.
Ismail also metioned that mentioned that the size of the city in the grand scape of the game doesn't matter saying "Having said that, I don't think of the size of the city is what matters," he stated. "It's really the content, the experience that you have inside of it. It's how alive it is. So we filled these locations with quests, with making each city feel unique to itself, why was it important to Egypt."
This is great news coming from Ubisoft. Last year they decided to skip their yearly rendition of the Assassin's Creed franchise in favor of putting out a better experience for gamers. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was probably that last good game in the franchises history and fans should be really excited to see what they do in Egypt.
