Assassin’s Creed Origins pre-orders allow you to buy the upcoming open-world game early, get an extra mission and be ready to play the moment the game launches. That doesn’t mean you should place a pre-order today.

Developer Ubisoft has dropped the modern settings of recent Assassin’s Creed games to share how the Assassin Order began. This game takes place in Ancient Egypt. Assassin’s Creed Origins has naval combat that users didn’t get to experience in the franchise’s last major game. And a streamlined fighting system makes battling the Templars in hand-to-hand combat easier than ever.

These are the reasons you should and shouldn’t place an Assassin’s Creed Origins pre-order.
