And here's an accompanying feature list:

"Ubiforum" posted:

What is the download size?
The size of the installed files is around 45 Gigabytes.

Will there be a Day 1 update? What will be its size?
Yes, there will be a Day 1 update, exact size is still to be defined.

What is the maximum framerate of Assassin's Creed Origins on PC?
As on other platforms, Assassin's Creed Origins on PC uses a technology called Dynamic Resolution Rendering that adjusts the resolution on the fly to ensure a framerate as close as possible to the targeted one - in most cases it's totally invisible for the user. On PC, On PC, players can actually choose what baseline framerate they want to target: 30, 45, or 60 fps. They can also select their maximum framerate between 30, 45, 60, or 90 fps, or decide to completely uncap it.

Is it possible to turn off Dynamic Resolution Rendering?
Yes, by turning off the "Adaptive Quality" option in the menus - this will in fact deactivate Dynamic Resolution Rendering.

Is it possible to play Assassin's Creed Origins in 4K on PC?
If you have a powerful enough PC, yes.

What are the new features of Assassin's Creed Origins on PC?
Assassin's Creed Origins PC introduces features that are brand new for the Assassin's Creed franchise:

- Performance Benchmark
For the first time in Assassin’s Creed, we have a benchmark built-in to help our players to validate their tweaked settings.
In-game performance analysis Our engine constantly monitors and tracks the performance on PC (FPS, CPU & GPU usage) to allow our players to profile how their hardware is performing. They can then leverage this information to tweak the game options and improve performance.

- Dynamic Resolution rendering
Dynamic resolution is a technique we use to keep the framerate as close as possible to our targeted max at all times by adjusting the frame resolution on the fly, which in most cases will be invisible to the player.

- In game resolution multiplier (up to 4K for 1080 displays)
If your hardware is powerful enough to render in ultra high resolution (like 4K) but you don’t have a 4K screen then this is for you! You can tell the engine to render the game in higher resolution so that you can benefit from Oversampling or Supersampling. You can also decide to do the opposite: force the game to render in a smaller resolution and always upscale it to your screen resolution. The choice is yours.

In addition to those new features, Assassin's Creed Origins PC supports the customization of Mouse and Keyboard and Gamepad configurations, as well as multi-monitor set-ups.

Does Assassin's Creed Origins support multi-monitor set-ups?
Yes.

Does Assassin's Creed Origins supports the customization of Mouse and Keyboard and Gamepad configurations?

Is there any support for Ultra-Wide monitors (21:9 resolution)?
Yes.

Will Assassin's Creed Origins support SLI/CrossfireX configurations?
This will not supported at launch but might come in a post-launch update.

Will the game feature Direct X12?
No.

Will it be possible to adjust the Field Of View?
Yes.

What are the preload dates and times for the PC version?

While trying to get hyped for this I went back and 100%ed rear end Creed Chronicles Russia. It's actually fairly solid and addresses the weaknesses of China with a better plot, more variety in the missions, better controls, sweet camera tricks etc. The Chronicles series has been continually improving and I'd be down for more. Too bad China gave a lackluster first impression to many.

Check it out! Or don't.

I’m all for more black flag style naval combat but the vids out for that game show no player controlled character/melee combat — boarding looked like a one button % chance to win. I don’t think it will be as fun as black flag if you’re glued to the ship, but I hope I’m wrong.

India is closer to Russia than China gameplay-wise and has some good characters but the overall plot makes no sense (and if you care about that sort of things it kind of contradicts the comics it's supposed to tie in with). And the art direction is not as interesting as the other two.

Another thing I like with Russia is that it's resolutely modern in theme and appearance, there's guns everywhere, electricity, trains, trucks... Some cross-pollination with Syndicate I suppose but it goes even farther.

I haven't seen enough story stuff to judge on the character front but I think Bayek will be pretty interesting just because when starting he's already in his 30s and is a seasoned warrior.

Gameplay-wise, the combat is extremely different since it's more skill based now much like Dark Souls but without a stamina system and there's an overall heavier emphasis on being an actual RPG now too with the loot system.

I'm glad they didn't change enough to lose its identity as an AC game but they changed enough that it'll at least feel fresh.

So my new favourite detail about Syndicate is there's a sailship parked parked right between two bridges that are both lower than its main masts. For when you really need to sail 100 meters in one direction.

("Actually I have a PhD in boats and the masts can pulled d..." OK but then why not keep them down? Videogames)

Yea I really like what we've seen about Bayek. A grizzled vet who's maybe been hosed out of his once honorable position is kinda the perfect focus for an AC origin story, that dude is exactly the kinda guy who'd start an Assassin movement.

If you're interested in tie-in stuff, the book Desert Oath is pretty good so far (got it yesterday, about 1/4 of the way through it). It goes into his backstory.
