That’s because Ubisoft has confirmed that the Bayak-led Assassin’s Creed title will support 60 frames per second. This information was released today, December 21, which is also Assassin’s Creed Day. It’s not an anniversary for the first Assassin’s Creed game, or for any of the franchise’s games for that matter. It’s the Winter Solstice, and December 21, 2012, was supposed to be the end of the world in Assassin’s Creed lore.
However, Desmond Miles sacrificed himself to save the world from the destruction of Juno. That happened in 2012’s Assassin’s Creed 3. Assassin’s Creed Origins would be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC five years later. As the name implies, its story represents the origin of the Assassin Brotherhood (or at least what would one day become the Brotherhood). It sounds like soon we’ll be able to experience that origin story in 60 FPS.
Unfortunately, those looking for more will have to wait and see what comes of this update, as Ubisoft did not reveal anything else. There’s no word of when this 60 FPS patch might go through, nor is there a definitive guarantee it will happen – just Ubisoft’s assertion that it’s “looking into adding 60 FPS support for Assassin’s Creed Origins.”
