The difficulties in Egypt

In other Assassin’s Creed Origins related news, for the first ever time in the series the game will offer players to choose a difficulty setting in addition to the other RPG-like features such as skill tree, loot and more.

Game director Ashraf Ismail explained the change with the different groups of people presenting the large audience of the game.

Some people play for the historical context, some people for the narrative, some for the gameplay, and what we felt was by going deeper into the gameplay challenge of the game we’re feeding one part of the audience, but not others so it was a natural step for us to think ‘well, let’s give difficulty settings.’” But don’t worry, you don’t have to make the decision at the very start of the game. You can start on normal and work your way up – or down – from there. “If you really want that very difficult challenge you can set the game to a harder setting,” continues Ismail. “We’ve seen situations where people have asked ‘y’know I want the game to stay at a normal, balanced difficulty but I’m having difficulty with this boss or this moment so can I switch?’ So yes we allow it to switch dynamically.
