Director Rob Petrie of MPC Creative NY bathes ancient Egypt in deep twilight then dissolves it into shimmering grains of sand in this dreamlike pre-launch film for Assassin’s Creed: Origins.

Produced by Eddy in Paris, the film is described as “A tribute to ancient Egypt’s beauty as much as a metaphor of its frailty, the film shows the symbols and achievements of a whole civilization being swept away by the wind.

“For the first time, this new episode takes us back to the roots of the brotherhood in Egypt, in the first century B.C. The country is threatened by civil war and the expansion of Roman Empire. The end of a 3000-year-old civilization is at stake.”
