Rumor: Secret Ubisoft IP Uncovered, Osiris, From the Makers of Assassin's Creed

It looks like Ubisoft Montreal’s next IP is codenamed “Osiris”, judging from this rough cut-demo video commissioned last year.

[TryMe]

hyped. not next consoles considering it's already been in development for a bit, and should probably be released in 2014.

[showtimefolks]

i think for next 2 years all next gen games will also get a release on ps3,xbox360. both systems are still selling well and have huge install bases so it makes sense to port those next gen titles and make easy money

also the graphics difference between a ps4 title to a ps3 port won't be as big as ps2-ps3

[Red_Orange_Juice]

There will be more next gen exclusive games than you think. Most multigen games will be sports games.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

Im kinda hoping this game is called

HERO SLOWMOTION: CIVIL UNREST

[josephayal]

It will most likely just be able to run 4k graphics

[classic200]

Why is the main character in the picture black??

Also in the video at the end their were some black peoples picture their. For crying out loud the ancient egyptians were never black.

Once again ubisoft as freaking manage to piss off my race!

[pr0t0typeknuckles]

ever heard of dark skinned egyprians,and technically egypt is apart of africa.

[torchic]

dumbest comment you'll read on n4g today.

[grassyknoll]

You need to play less games & read a whole lot more.

[iamnsuperman]

Just look at it logically. Okay Egyptians tend not to be fully black and more middle eastern looking (@pr0t0typeknuckles you are thinking of modern day Egypt which is to do with what I am about to mention and immigration over thousands of years). But thinking of the time period wars happened and people stolen other people for slavery. Since Africa is a massive landmass this type of thing wasn't uncommon. You would start getting black people in the population. Also people would flock to big cities for a chance at fortune. He may not be Egyptian

[Lord_Sloth]

Why do you find dark skinned fellas in your country so offensive? Fun fact: There were black people in Egypt and there are dark skinned Egyptians.

[urwifeminder]

Never heard of Nubians then hey look it up, i cant stand ass creed but i cant pass up any egypt action POWERSLAVE style. I have the eye of horus tatt love the art great to see an period game with no dragons.

[aliengmr]

Read a history book sometime. It seriously shouldn't be possible for one to be so stupid.

Do humanity a favor, don't procreate, please. I beg you, do not add more stupid to the gene-pool.

Google Nubian, ass.

[solidt12]

How hard could it be to just do a google search before you posted this dumb comment.

[Non_sequitur]

The main character should be black if he is Osiris. Osiris was sometimes referred to as the black god. You are correct about the native north Africans being much lighter than Africans south of the sahara, but it wouldn't be unusual for darker Africans to have immigrated to Egypt.

[pixelsword]

@ Classic:

Your statement is just about as stupid as if some guy whining about why aren't Native Americans in a game Blonde-Haired and Blue-eyed: You're basing your false assumption of history upon the current population.

Egyptians were always dark skinned; lighter skinned people immigrated to Egypt throughout the centuries, not the other way around. Your people aren't even as dark as the Egyptians in the ancient drawings, and they had rainforests to help shield them from the sun: you got nothing now but sand and sun, and your people aren't even as dark as the drawings...!

What you need to do is look up Ivan Van Sertima and Alexander Von Wuthenau, after that, attempt to digest just about everything they have on video, PDF, and book because you're looking every bit the uneducated person that I'm afraid you really are.

Your people are the actual invaders, The walls, statues, and all ancient history books make reference to Kemet as being black in reference of the origin of the people; the name Kemet means the black lands, The Bible verifies Egyptian lineage to Kem (Mizraim via Kem/Ham), and Roman, Greek, Arab, and other scholars wrote that Egyptians were Black-skinned.

Heck, the reason the Greeks called Kemet Egypt because Egypt means "The place of the soul" (Hi-Gi-Ptos) because back then some peoples in the areas surrounding Egypt thought the soul was black.

Just like North African used to be primarily Black-skinned Christians until Islamic raiders slaughtered the people and took over the cities: if you don't know what I'm talking about, look up the history of the city of Fez, and why the hat called the "Fez" is red.

That's the sad part of History: it's written by not only the victor, but the bigot and the ignoramus.

[jjank11]

Dang, good job Classic200 for being completely ignorant. Ancient Egypt, that of the ruling dynastic part, was pretty much a crossroads of the world back then, so therefore had many various skin colors (bablylonians, libyans, nubians, asiatics....etc). There is a debate about this very thing with a whole gamut of theories. Many other societies like the Nubians and Western African empires were black. Whereas the Eastern and Nile Valley africans were more of a brownish skin color.

[BlackWolf]

@Classic200
Just kill yourself, please... At least investigate some more before posting this... comment.

@pixelsword
This is some nice piece of information you've brougth. Worth reading to expand your knowledge.

[Wingsfan24]

Interesting, always wanted to play a game like Assassin's Creed in Egypt.

[Snookies12]

Soooo... Now we're getting trailers of mo-cap production going on? Lol! Regardless, this sounds pretty interesting and I shall keep an eye on it.

[UnholyLight]

I thought the mo cap was cool...

[pr0t0typeknuckles]

at least its not prince of persia, but instead its a new ip, i may check it out egypt is a very intersting setting for videogames, and hasnt used to death like WW2, modern war, or ancient greece.

[koston3647]

not bad

[Blasphemy]

Osiris (was an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead) - From the Makers of Assassin Creed.

Interesting.

[iamnsuperman]

I agree it is interesting but I do hope they sort out their stories. AC was great but it had a rich history to go off and it came off like a B-movie standard plot. I hope they have learnt from this and still keeps things magical/mystical without going into the standard of "OMG aliens trying to take over the world"

[-Gespenst-]

Yeah, there's something really naff about the first civilization. They look like something out of cheesy 80's sci-fi. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but in the context of the game it's a bit weird.

[Soldierone]

Didn't the makers of Assassins Creed go to THQ?

[Dilldo_]

LOL WHAT THE HELL

[Soldierone]

I wasn't wrong, the creator was with THQ.

(Tried to link it but it won't let me.

[Nimblest-Assassin]

It says the TEAM that brought you assassins creed the only people who left Ubi for THQ was patrice and a few art directors

Also

-the video is 5 months old and was for a composers resume

-Patrice was working on a very different game for THQ

- A screen shot for this leaked from ubisoft after patrice left in 2010, it should have been from THQ if that was the case

[Nimblest-Assassin]

Where have you been?

Ubi bought THQ montreal... dudes back where he began

[Soldierone]

Lol its funny how you guys think I'm stupid.

All I'm saying is how is it a "secret" Ubisoft game from the creator of Assassins Creed, when the person has been at THQ. It would have been an secret at THQ that Ubisoft bought....

Really didn't think I had to fully explain that, but looking at the disagree's.... yeah. I'll remember to be VERY SPECIFIC next time lol

[PhantomT1412]

The images of this project were leaked (as a Ubisoft project) way before THQ was bought by Ubi.

Patrice Desilets and THQ Montréal were working on another -unannounced- project called "1667" (the number might be wrong).

[UnholyLight]

Yeah the guy that came up with the Original AC and ACII I think. Patrice Desilet or however you spell it. His studio is called 1666 Studios or somethin rather. They got bought back. I think people (including myself initially) thought you meant that the Ubi team itself went to THQ lol. THQ should have been a promising place and the AC creator did go there back when THQ was in a good place..Circa 2007-2008? So no, you're not stupid, it just sounded stupid rightaways because THQ just went under.

[DeltaCanuckian]

One of the producers went, this is something Ubisoft Montreal has been working on without him. Though Ubisoft bought THQ Montreal, so he's back with them now.

[HalfNerdHalfAmazing]

I like AC but if I have to climb buildings and run and hide from the enemies I'm not looking forward to playing this game.

[Conzul]

Osiris is the god of the dead. I don't see him doing much running, somehow.

[Rockefellow]

I remember screen shots that looked exactly like this leaking a while back. Kotaku made a big stink about it being "The Next Prince of Persia"

Glad they're wrong!

[akaakaaka]

wow who is the head of this studio alex crowly or mr. rockafeller? wtf
let me guess their next IP
"Mason's"
"Iluminaties"

[Good_Guy_Jamal]

Music can make anything feel epic. I can't wait to play the game even though all I saw was an old man pounding the floor and then dragging some younger man back into his man cave/old age home.

[jay2]

This/watchdogs/ both true next gen consoles are first day buys for me.

[chukamachine]

meh

[xtremexx]

this and watchdogs? holy shit ubisoft where have you been keeping this?

[aLiEnViSiToR]

I an Top Secret UbiVault that is not connected to the Net xD

[KnightRobby]

My guess? This is an Assassin's Creed game and will be called Assassin's Creed: Osiris. Seems like it'll be about the First Civilization or at least connected to them, as Osiris is actually explained on the AC Wiki: "Osiris was a member of the First Civilization, revered as an Egyptian god of the afterlife, the underworld and death. He was also the partner of Isis."

http://assassinscreed.wikia...

[-Gespenst-]

This is that thing that people thought was a Prince of Persia game... Hmmm, I wonder if it'll have a sci-fi spin like AC, or if it's just a period based game...

[BlackWolf]

It's been a long time since I've seen a game that heavily uses elements of Egyptian culture. It has really got my interest.

[nepdyse]

It got cancelled confirmed on twitter earlier today.

[Th3 Chr0nic]

according to the "original uploaders" website this is from 5 months ago.....took a long time for us to see it

plus i didnt think mocapping worked that way with so many ppl at once
