Assassin’s Creed Origins has two layers of copy protection, and it appears to be paying off. While past games used Denuvo alone, Origins pairs it with VMProtect, seemingly making it that much more difficult for pirates and hackers to crack. Even if one layer is defeated, another stands to stop them in their tracks.



Now this is a big win for Ubisoft and Denuvo. However, this success is not entirely due to Ubisoft’s VMProtect + Denuvo combo. It appears that Denuvo has issued a new version of its anti-tamper tech; a version that has not been cracked yet by pirates. The games that are using this new version of the Denuvo anti-tamper tech are Sonic Forces, Injustice 2, Football Manager 2018, Need for Speed Payback and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
