'Assassin's Creed' badassery is even cooler with Leonard Cohen behind it

Once again, Ubisoft nails the trailer music perfectly.

Ubisoft has always had a knack for nailing trailer music, and this latest look at Assassin's Creed Origins is no exception.

Leonard Cohen's "You Want It Darker" provides the backbeat for this cinematic peek at the next Assassin's adventure, set in ancient Egypt. Origins changes things up for the series in a big way, with more of a focus on RPG trappings and layered combat than past games have had.

It's what the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag team has been working on since that excellent pirate sim shipped four years ago, and it'll be here -- for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One -- on Oct. 27.
