It’ll be interesting to see whether Ubisoft chooses to patch Denuvo out of Assassin’s Creed Origins or if it instead opts to leave it in as some small barrier that still needs to be overcome. That won’t stop cracking group CPY from celebrating though, particularly since the vehement community reaction to AC Origins’ threefold DRM. Of course, since Assassin’s Creed Origins’ launch, Denuvo Anti-Tamper 5.0 protection has been released for newer games, a form of DRM which is yet to be broken. Anything up to a few weeks protection is considered worthwhile, and anything after that is a nice bonus.
That’s impressive, particularly when considering how quickly the likes of Total Warhammer 2, Shadow of War and FIFA 18 were cracked. It launched on October 27th, 2017, and managed to last exactly 100 days before being cracked. Regardless of the inevitable result, Ubisoft will be pleased by how long Assassin’s Creed Origins has held firm.
This was the final piece in the puzzle of cracking Ubisoft’s game, a game which has no less than three forms of copy protection - Uplay, Denuvo, and VMProtect. Not long since Denuvo 4.8 was cracked, Assassin’s Creed Origins has had its combination of Denuvo and VMProtect DRM sunk by crackers.
