Assassin's Creed Origins released on October 27, 2017, making this franchise entry five years old. As many may recall, Ubisoft had taken a year break in 2016 before releasing this title, and when it did come out, it was nothing like its predecessors. The classic action-adventure genre was ditched for more open-world, RPG-like gameplay. Assassin's Creed Origins' RPG features weren't as heavy as its successors, Odyssey or Valhalla, but this was the start of everything.
