Assassin's Creed: Origins was set to be released on the sixth of June, priced at 1980 RMB, slightly higher than Uncharted Waters.
However, for VR players, it was just an extra hundred RMB, which didn't make much of a difference. Moreover, Assassin's Creed: Origins had a lot of space. It was an open world game after all, so it was understandable that it was slightly more expensive.
In terms of playtime, Assassin's Creed: Origins was longer than Uncharted Waters. Moreover, this was Chen Mo's first VR game after Chinese New Year, so many players were very determined to buy it.
Some players who were strapped for cash were waiting for the Double 11 event. Chen Mo had already announced last year that the event would be held once a year, at half price. Assassin's Creed: Origins would be sold for 990 RMB, which would be even more worth it.
For the rich players, waiting half a year to buy a new game was something they couldn't bear. Moreover, Double 11 would refund their coins, so buying it now wouldn't make much of a difference for them.
After all, with Chen Mo's development speed, there might be a new compilation released on Double 11. Waiting forever wasn't a good idea.

After Assassin's Creed: Origins was released, more and more players realized how special the game was.
They could only watch the streamer stream online, and couldn't play the game themselves. However, after the players tried it themselves, they realized that it was different than watching others play!
If it was a linear game like Uncharted Waters, the story would be the same, and the gameplay would be relatively simple. However, Assassin's Creed: Origins was an open world, so the difference was huge.
Different players could plan their quests and battle style according to their preferences, and they could explore the entire map freely. Some players didn't even do any quests at all. They would just open the map, run to synch points, row a boat on the Nile River, or look at a mirage in the desert. They were having a lot of fun too!
Thanks to the special design of Assassin's Creed: Origins, Assassin's Creed: Origins collected the players' big data to infer the players' habits and behaviors, and then preloaded the scenes and resources. This basically eliminated most of the progress bars, which made many players exclaim in satisfaction!
Many players were quite surprised. This was an open world game, so why didn't there seem to be any loading? This was too magical!
Many people even treated the game as a travel simulator for Egypt. They traveled to every village and city to see the local customs. Some people just skipped through the plot and watched the story of Caesar and Cleopatra. It was as if they had really traveled to this period of history. Some players who liked assassinations, cold weapons, and equipment also found their own enjoyment in the game …
In any case, Assassin's Creed: Origins covered almost every aspect of the game, providing players with different hobbies with different gaming experiences. This was a complete, lively Egyptian world, and every player was part of it, experiencing the exotic customs that spanned thousands of years.
…
In a village near the shrine of Sekhmet in Yamu, a woman told Bayek that her husband had taken a boat to the ruins on the other side of the river and had yet to return. As a guardian, Bayek was duty-bound to borrow a boat to look for the woman's husband. After fighting and killing several crocodiles, Bayek found that the husband was so drunk that he didn't remember that he had a wife.
Left with no choice, Bayek took the husband back to the village on the boat. However, a gentle breeze woke the husband up. It turned out that his' wife 'had gotten him drunk and wanted to marry him. She claimed that he owed her a' child tax 'and asked him to pay a large sum of money. At this moment, two strong men walked over. It turned out that this wasn't a quest to find someone but an ancient Egyptian version of 'badger game' …
…
When Bayek came to the Amon Stone Ring, he remembered how he had come here with Kamu.
The father and son had watched the stars in the desert at night. Bayek's father had told him that the stone rings around them pointed out the position of the gods in the sky and their position in this world.
Hearing this introduction, Kamu was quite excited. He planned to find all the stone rings, the Sphinx, and the pyramids, and then find his position. After Kamu's death, the only thing Bayek could do for his son was to find all the stone rings and Kamu's position among the stars.
…
In the side quest 'The Cunning Clerk', a great poet and philosopher, Aristo, was imprisoned. His wife cried at home all day long.
The reason he was arrested was that his wonderful work was plagiarized by the clerk, Eudoros. Aristo chose to go to court with Eudoros and argued for several months. In the end, the wife's husband was beaten, ridiculed, and thrown into a cage.
Bayek wanted to rescue the poet and help the wife and her husband escape from the city and end the suffering.
…
In order to assassinate the Holy Snake, Bayek sneaked into the bathhouse of Alexandria Harbor and cut off his ring finger in a hurry. This was the origin of the oath that assassins cut off their ring fingers.
…
In a mansion, Bayek met Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, and her speech was very impressive. "I can sleep with any one of you, but … he will be executed the next morning."
Bayek knew that the bronze-masked men he had been tracking were from the ancient maintainers, and these people were now supporting the Pharaoh Ptolemy. So Cleopatra and Bayek and his wife had the same goal and officially cooperated.
…
In Letopolis, this place suffered from the double oppression of the scarab and the sandstorm.
Bayek found the leader of Letopolis, Tahaka, and discussed how to find the "scarab". Bayek helped Tahaka defeat the desert mobs, but at the celebration party, Tahaka drugged Bayek's wine and left him to die in the desert.
Fortunately, Bayek called for his mount. Senu handed the reins of the mount to Bayek, and they successfully escaped from danger.
It turned out that Tahaka was the "scarab". The reason why he controlled the sandstorm in Letopolis was not to benefit the people, but to find the secret buried here with an invisible identity.
…
While tracking the "hyena," Bayek entered the Great Pyramid of Giza and found that the "hyena" was holding a ritual here, trying to bring his daughter back to life. After being defeated, the "hyena" even tempted Bayek to use the Pieces of Eden to save Kamu, but Bayek did not fall for it.
…
In the main mission, the history of Cleopatra and Caesar unfolded step by step as the plot progressed.
Cleopatra originally wanted to join forces with Pompey, but when Pompey's fleet landed, they were ambushed by the troops of Ptolemy and the ancient maintainers, and the entire fleet was annihilated. Cleopatra had no choice but to join forces with Caesar to regain control of Egypt.
With the efforts of Bayek and AiYa, Cleopatra successfully joined forces with Caesar. In the battle of the Nile, Bayek and AiYa fought bravely, allowing Caesar's army to win, and Ptolemy was dragged to the bottom of the sea by crocodiles.
However, at this time, the unexpected happened. Cleopatra only gave Bayek and AiYa a sum of money, but Caesar wanted to blame them for Pharaoh Ptolemy's death, making them the scapegoats.
Bayek, AiYa, Tahira, Foggidas, and the others reunited. They all believed that they should continue to fight to protect the free will of the people. The embryonic form of the Brotherhood appeared.
The marriage between Cleopatra and Caesar did not bring peace to Egypt. Instead, the situation became worse and worse. Caesar joined the camp of the ancient maintainers, and his deputy, Flavius, was the real murderer of Kamu.
In 47 BC, Bayek and AiYa returned to Siwa in search of the Pieces of Eden. They found that the people were all lying on the ground in pain, including Rabia, who had treated Bayek's injuries in the original plot.
It turned out that Flavius had used a divine artifact to control all the people of Siwa, and they had already rushed to the treasury. This treasury was actually the one that the ancient maintainers did not hesitate to kill Kamu and many innocent Egyptians to open. It contained the secret of the Pieces of Eden.
Bayek and AiYa came to the treasury, where they saw a huge golden model of Earth. Bayek's good friend, Hopzafa, who had stayed in Siwa, had died defending the treasury.
Bayek and AiYa acted separately. Bayek assassinated Flavius and obtained the Pieces of Eden. In Alexandria, Bayek and AiYa reunited.
Both of them understood that they had to sacrifice their lives for a greater good. They had to assassinate those who deserved it in secret. They had to transform into Formless and fight for a new creed.
The eagle skull in Bayek's hand fell on the sand, imprinted with the symbol of the assassin organization.
In the last scene, AiYa came to the Senate in Rome and became the first person to stab Caesar with the sword. Then, the other members of the Senate rushed forward.
Brutus came in front of Caesar, and Caesar said the classic words in history, "Even you don't agree with me, my child?"
However, Brutus' reply to Caesar was a cold stab.
"The tyrant is dead. You are free!"
Brutus shouted, holding the dagger high. The camera gradually zoomed in. Caesar, who was lying on the ground, covered in blood, had his head tilted to one side. He was dead.
After that, AiYa established the stronghold of the assassin organization in Rome, while Bayek stayed in Egypt to develop the assassin organization.
"We come from the darkness, and we must stay in the darkness. Humans don't have to live forever, but the creed will live forever."
At the end of the plot, Bayek stood at a high place reading AiYa's letter. Senu flew from afar and landed on his right arm.
The beautiful view of Egypt appeared in front of him again, and the game's name and logo appeared on the screen.
