On the flip side, he is joyful and full of laughter when allowed to relax or have moments of intimacy. Depending on the situation he can be stern or downright vengeful to those in his path and isn’t always in the right.

Bayek is deeply human, loving when it comes to children and those in need but flawed with his rage. Incredible work went into ensuring every main and sidequest is there to enhance Bayek’s character arc. Through him, players get to see where tenants of the Creed originated from and how traditions evolved from Bayek’s journey. It’s a game about his journey and interpersonal struggles with his family and ties to Egypt. Assassin’s Creed Origins keeps true in this with Bayek, a father and former Medjay.

This is because the series focused on telling intimate stories about hardship, love, responsibility, defiance, and loss. To this day, a character like Ezio or Altair always comes to mind when Assassin’s Creed is discussed. Bayek of SiwaĪssassin’s Creed was defined by its protagonist, something recent entries have lacked. Most importantly, it meaningfully enriched the world of Assassin’s Creed and was lovingly crafted. It lets players explore the most detailed open-world Ubisoft ever created in Egypt. Origins delivered the deeply personal tale of Bayek and how his journey led to the Assassin’s ideals. Set in a time rife with possibilities while telling how the Creed came to be. The announcement of Origins was exciting and promised a new direction for the franchise. The entries either felt broken or didn’t seem to understand narratively what Assassin’s Creed was. The fan base felt disillusioned and was highly critical of Assassin’s Creed Unity and Syndicate. Particularly to the game that enacted the genre change, but also last felt like a true addition to the franchise.Īssassin’s Creed Origins was released back in 2017, it was a time in which the series was in flux. With Mirage going gold and releasing earlier than expected on October 5 th, I want to look back at the series. Assassin’s Creed Mirage promises to return the series to its roots and deliver a more condensed experience.
