The recent AC titles have been some of the best we’ve seen so far, with AC Origins specifically taking it to a whole new level.
It was the game the franchise needed to bring it back to the forefront of the open world genre. And Ubisoft hasn’t looked back since.
Modding can bring new life to Origins, especially for veterans of the series getting back into this title.
But even if you’re looking to start a new AC adventure, Origins can still be a whole lot of fun with mods. Here’s our list of some of the best out there.
AC Origins is already one of the best-looking AC games without question.
But this AC Origins Graphics Mod is actually a port of a popular GTA 5 graphics mod, and we all know how mods took GTA 5’s graphics to a completely new level of crazy.
Well this does the same with AC Origins, and everything just looks stunning. Check it out for yourself and see what you think.
14. Origins Effects and Interface Customization Mod
This next one is a great addition even if you’re playing through the game for the first time.
Better Icons improves quality of life by making the map icons much more visible, making it much easier to find what you’re looking for around the world.
The mod affects icons for everything from quests, undiscovered locations, weavers, blacksmiths, and stables, bringing them closer to the icons from AC2.
This next one is a bit of a cheat mod, but it’s a great way to go around and have some fun in the Origins world. Especially if you’ve already finished your first serious playthrough.
AC Origins Inventory Editor gives you complete control over your inventory, allowing you to instantly gain access to however much you want of whatever item you can think of in the game.
Obtaining the Black Hood outfit isn’t quite as easy as taking your drachmae to your nearest tailor.
To avoid spoilers I won’t give away the details, but I will say it’s definitely worth tracking down.
This outfit is one of the more unique options in the game, and as the name states, it gives Bayek a makeover in black.
Black cloaks just don’t feel very Assassin’s Creed though… so if you’re looking for something a bit more usual to the series, the White Hood will give you exactly that.
This mod swaps out the black and gold aesthetic for a more traditional white and silver color scheme.
Now this next one is interesting, as it introduces a whole new level of ancient Egyptian history to one of the less common outfits in AC Origins.
The Shadow Warrior outfit is a bit more difficult to get a hold of. But if you’re able to, then one of the first things you might notice is the overcoat with the eagle logo on it.
Modder nfcintra’s Shadow Warrior adds some flavor to the outfit by replacing the overcoat completely, giving you a black overcoat with the ancient Egyptian god Khepri etched on it.
One more replacement here for the Egyptian Hedj outfit, this time changing the look and feel of the set entirely.
The Greek Hedj outfit is inspired by Greek-Egyptian color patterns, as seen in the blue and orange highlights.
The robes are less white as well, making it much easier on the eyes overall. And the Eye of Horus etching on the belt buckle adds a nice touch to personalize the outfit further.
Thomas de Carneillon was a French banker and master assassin first introduced in AC Unity.
We weren’t given much exposure to him as a playable character, but given his history and huge contributions to the order, many fans were left wanting more.
This mod lets you do that by giving you access to his armor set.
It replaces Altaïr’s outfit with Thomas’ taking its place. Not much, but definitely something!
As we’ve seen from the many AC games through the years, there are assassins scattered pretty much all over the world.
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China introduced Shao Jun, showing us yet another completely different side of the order than what we’ve seen in other games.
Modder Foedawg brings that back to AC Origins with his Chinese Assassin Outfit mod, replacing the Egyptian Wahid outfit with one inspired by Shao Jun’s.
2. Captain America Shield And Modern Themed Outfit
The Prince of Persia games are often credited for pioneering many of the parkour elements we see in modern games.
Assassin’s Creed has been called a spiritual successor to the series as well, so this last mod is a cool nod to the past from creator SoulSif.
This mod retextures the original Persian Prince outfit to bring it closer to the outfits seen in Prince of Persia, taking inspiration from the different titles within the series, as well as the film based on the games.
