This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Assassin's Creed Origins for Xbox One
Assassin's Creed Origins for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One follows Bayek, a medjay from Siwa, in first-century BCE Egypt. A personal search for the people behind his son's death becomes entwined with the power struggle surrounding Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. You travel from desert villages and the Nile to Alexandria, Giza and hidden tombs. Quests give inhabitants their own problems and take Bayek to different parts of the kingdom.
The renewed combat system uses free attacks, dodging, shields and lockable targets. Weapons have levels, properties and different ranges. Experience points unlock skills for warrior, hunter and seer, while materials improve your equipment. The eagle Senu scouts camps from the air, marks enemies and helps locate objectives and treasure. This allows you to inspect a fort first and then choose between stealth, archery or a direct fight.
The main game is a complete offline journey for one player. The Deluxe Edition for Xbox One uses the same base game and may historically have offered extra digital missions or items; codes and downloadable content are not promised as present or usable. Discovery Tour and major story expansions arrived through updates or separate packages and are not automatically on the disc. The description therefore stays with Bayek's original campaign and its systems.
Region and language
Our Xbox One games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Assassin's Creed Origins contains a complete offline campaign for one player on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Deluxe Edition uses the same main game. Download codes, separate expansions and online services are not guaranteed.
Manual
Assassin's Creed Origins for Xbox One includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Assassin's Creed Origins
Ubisoft Montreal led Assassin's Creed Origins and Ubisoft released the game on 27 October 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows. After annual main entries, the series received additional development time. The team chose Ptolemaic Egypt as a new setting and told how Bayek and Aya become involved in the foundation of the Hidden Ones, the organization that later grows into the Assassin Brotherhood.
Origins significantly changed the established formula. Hitboxes and attack direction replaced much of the older animation-led combat, while levels and loot had greater influence on the strength of enemies and weapons. Senu took over many scouting tasks from traditional Eagle Vision. The larger world was filled with cities, settlements, animals, temples and tombs, connected by a new quest system built around local stories.
After release, The Hidden Ones and The Curse of the Pharaohs appeared as paid story expansions. Discovery Tour added an educational route without normal combat. These additions shaped the game's reputation as a new beginning, but do not justify promising used codes or complete digital packages with every physical copy. The standard and Deluxe packages in this catalog share Bayek's original main adventure on disc.
Similar games for Xbox One
Odyssey uses the same foundation of levels, loot and large regions, but takes place earlier in ancient Greece and lets you choose Kassandra or Alexios. Origins follows one fixed protagonist and tells the founding of the Hidden Ones. Odyssey adds more dialogue choices, naval battles and a mercenary system; Origins keeps Bayek's personal search more central.
Syndicate takes place in industrial London and lets Jacob and Evie reclaim boroughs with a gang. Origins trades one modern city for deserts, villages and ancient metropolises. Both let you switch between stealth and open combat, but Origins uses levels and equipment values much more strongly and gives Senu a permanent scouting role.
Unity revolves around Arno, the French Revolution and carefully planned assassinations in dense Paris. Origins has Bayek travel through an entire country and uses freer combat with shields, bows and varied weapon types. Unity emphasizes urban climbing routes and adaptable assassinations; Origins exploration, quests and level-based development.
Black Flag gives Edward Kenway a sailing ship and links islands with major sea voyages. Origins includes boats on the Nile, but most of Bayek's adventure takes place on foot or horseback. Both combine historical figures with a personal story. Origins deepens equipment and abilities, while Black Flag centers ship upgrades and naval battles.
The Witcher 3 also uses a large world, levels, equipment and extensive side quests. Geralt relies on swords, signs and alchemy in a fantasy world; Bayek uses bows, shields and historical weapons in Egypt. Origins is more directly connected to stealth and climbing, while The Witcher relies more on conversations, monsters and branching storylines.
