Assassin’s Creed Origins will take place in Egypt around the time of Cleopatra VII, somewhere between year 69 and 30 BC, 1000 years before the world had invented the Knights Templars, so it wouldn’t really make much sense for the bad guys to be called Templars in this installment of the franchise. So today Ubisoft released a new trailer revealing what the bad guys will be called this time around, and their name will be the “Order of the Ancients”.
