Assassin's Creed Origins coming to Xbox Game Pass "in the next two months"

The origin story of the Order of Assassins will be told on Xbox Game Pass as well. Microsoft has announced an agreement with Ubisoft to add two more video games to the service's catalog. Assassin's Creed Origins and For Honor: Marching Fire Edition (the PC version) will join the game library in the coming months, as reported by Redmond in a new post on Xbox Wire, the company's official blog.

"I’m excited to share that we’re working with Ubisoft to bring even more incredible games to the Game Pass library," explained Megan Spurr, community manager for the service. "In the next two months, Assassin’s Creed Origins will join the library for cloud, console, and PC via Ubisoft Connect app. We will also bring For Honor: Marching Fire Edition to PC via Ubisoft Connect app." They will also release For Honor: Marching Edition for PC as an updated edition of the version already on consoles and the cloud.

An adventure in the classic world

Assassin's Creed Origins is the first game in the saga to adopt the RPG gameplay formula. Set during the time of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar, this title developed by Ubisoft Montreal explores the founding of the Order, and its first steps. Bayek of Siwa, the last warrior of a line of pharaonic protectors, faces the murder of his son and a destiny that will give him the opportunity to explore this ancient treasure of the classical world.

Ubisoft intends to release a free update that will allow the game to be enjoyed at 60 fps, although there is no confirmed date at the moment.

This game begins a path that continues along with Assassin's Creed Odyssey, set centuries before Origins, in Greece. Although it was rumored that this Origins trilogy would close in Rome, Ubisoft finally opted for Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which takes place many centuries later, specifically in IX AD.

Xbox Game Pass will be reinforced in the coming weeks with new video games, including Bugsnax.
