They got a big preview on the ubi blog
they confirmed a lot of what was in Game informer but some new (to me at least) details

“We know that people, when they think Egypt, they think desert,” says Jean Guesdon, the game’s creative director. “But Egypt is way more than that. You have the Nile Delta, you have the Nile River, you have tons of oases. So when you mix all that, from the green, lush fauna of the Nile Delta to the oasis of Faiyum, it’s the perfect playground.”

Towers no longer unlock the map but are fast travel points

It’s worth noting that Viewpoints are still dotted across the map, waiting for you to climb and sync with them, although their functionality is a little different from previous games. In the demo, they aren’t necessary for revealing the map, but synchronizing unlocks them as fast-travel spots, while also marking potential quests and other points of interest as question marks.

Seam less underwater exploration

For the first time, Assassin’s Creed Origins seamlessly integrates underwater exploration with the rest of its world, letting you freely dive wrecks and underwater ruins in search of loot. Some of the highlights of Moeris include the sunken Temple of Pnepheros, marked by a Sobek statue jutting out of the water, and a shipwreck containing golden treasures key to one of the demo’s missions. Both are a great opportunity to use Bayek’s Animus Pulse ability, a wave that highlights loot items and other points of interest with briefly flickering sparks.

Combat

His melee approach centers on combo strikes, dodges, and deflections, and he can annihilate foes from a distance with ranged weapons or use stealth to topple them one after another. In a toe-to-toe fight, enemies will coordinate in merciless ways, lunging in or firing arrows while you’re busy slashing up their comrades, so the dodge button frequently comes in handy. Bayek can also block attacks with his shield so long as you’re standing still, or you can use it to briefly knock enemies off-balance with an unlockable parry move. It’s even possible to drop smoke bombs mid-combo, which is great for when you’re feeling overwhelmed and need a little breathing room.

“The philosophy around the combat is different, but so are the controls,” says Ashraf Ismail. “The default controls propose a very different experience compared to previous Assassin’s Creeds, but fit very well with the new combat system. For people who really miss the legacy controls, we will have options to change the default. Otherwise, in terms of gameplay, it is really about learning each weapon and how they behave – because there is a lot of depth there – and also paying attention to the weapons wielded by enemies, as this will dictate their behavior.”

them leaving in the old controls is kind of worrying, they didn't trust the new combat

Boss Fights

Mastering Bayek’s weapons and abilities is essential if you plan to tackle another of Origins’ new additions: boss fights against formidable warriors and strange creatures. We played through one of these, set in an arena in the city of Krokodilopolis, in which Bayek faced down a hulking man known as the Slaver. His weapon of choice was (appropriately enough) a man catcher, a spiked, forked polearm that he used to grab Bayek and hurl him around the arena, frequently into rotating spike traps.

Free form missions - finally no "missions desynchronized"

More than an extra step in finding a mission objective, this exercise underlined Assassin’s Creed Origins’ new approach to the structure of its quests. Rather than being locked into a clear chain of A-to-B story beats, you’ll take a free-form approach to discovering your objectives, and you can pursue them more or less at your leisure. After visiting Hotephres, for example, we were tasked with visiting his wife, Khenut, who held a ledger pointing to the identity of a sinister figure known as The Crocodile. However, talking to one of Hotephres’ deckhands also revealed rumors about farmers in Dionysias, who were dying as their fields were burned by unknown assailants.

Looking forward to it, depending on the previews might even go gold for the culture

I'm buying this day one cause diversity in games myst be supported but it kind of looked a lot like every other Assassins Creed. So, it shouldn't be bad but it's not setting the world on fire either

It looks like they really put in work and improved in ways that they should have done year ago. That bold part though. I'm concerned as well. Leaving in those old controls.....ehhh. Hopefully it only affects certain things like the actual attack button configuration, and not the combat itself. Also I could also see how someone might want to change back to the old way of climbing since it seems they removed the climb button. At least it seems that way since they change the free running buttons. Regardless of all that though, it seems like they at least put some effort into this one. I'll be coppin' it.
