Assassin's Creed Origins: Check Out A Cool Legendary Armor Set (And Some Mean Hippos)

Assassin's Creed Origins introduces a variety of new features, such as the ability to scout areas with an eagle you control, enlist the support of animals, and take part in a Horde-style mode. It also features a new gear system, which means you'll be rewarded with cool equipment for completing certain tasks.

Case in point is the Isu Legendary armor set featured in the video above. It's a reward for finding all the star constellations in the game, and although it's purely a cosmetic set, we still think it's worth the effort. (The stylish gear resembles what you can earn in Destiny 2's Trials PvP mode.) The video above shows it off in Origins' Arena mode.

We've also got a new gameplay video showcasing an animal in Origins that you probably don't usually associate with viciousness: hippopotamuses. But these do in fact present a danger to the game's inhabitants, as you can check out in the video below, which highlights a side mission with some dangerous hippos.

Ahead of the game's launch later this week, you can also check out Assassin's Creed Origins gameplay running on an Xbox One X--something you'll be able to enjoy yourself once the system arrives on November 7. Origins releases this Friday, October 27, on PS4, Xbox One, and PC; you can get prepared by checking out the history of Assassin's Creed.
