Assassins Creed Origins takes players back to the formal beginnings of the Assassin Brotherhood. The protagonist in this journey is Bayek, the last of the Medjay, an ancient Egyptian military. While he and his brethren formerly protected places deemed valuable by the pharaohs such as tombs and cities, he has relegated himself to serving as a protector for his community.With him is his loyal hawk, Senu. She shares a symbiotic relationship with him, so strong that Bayek can see through her eyes when needed. Historically this makes him the first ever to perform such a feat, and one of only two assassins able to do so.By his side is the love of his life, Aya. Together since their youth, she follows him to Siwa and later becomes an agent for Cleopatra. His training and her connections plant the seeds for the Brotherhood to form. For those familiar with history, Cleopatra suffers an ignoble fate, and it remains to be seen what fate may befall Aya.Danger and uncertainty are no stranger to Bayek, for his own father disappeared when he was a teen. Whether he fell to the same hand that was hunting the last of the Medjay and their lineage is currently unknown, but it propelled Bayek into the hunt for his identity and purpose, uprooting him from Siwa. This led him to the banks of the Nile and through an Egypt rife with strife.Learn the results of that journey, experience Bayeks continued struggle, and watch the foundation of the Assassin Brotherhood as it is formed when Assassins Creed Origins comes out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 27.

Assassin's Creed: Origins - Bayek - Die Fähigkeiten

Assassins Creed Origins takes players further back in time than any other installment in the franchise. Set in ancient Egypt, it traces new protagonist Bayeks journey during the rise of Cleopatra and the birth of the Assassin Brotherhood.Certain elements, such as underwater environments and synchronizing viewpoints, make a welcome return, while the combat system has been completely overhauled.In Assassins Creed Origins, Bayeks abilities are split between three Master trees: Hunter, Seer, and Warrior.The Hunter tree is for those who prefer to strike from a distance utilizing archery. This enables him to equip a second bow and do things such as re-using arrows stuck in his shield. Perhaps one of the flashier abilities has Bayek slow-motion aiming his bow while in mid-air.Senu, Bayeks eagle, is also integral to this skillset. She has the ability to tag enemies and viewpoints, serving as the games familiar Eagle Vision. She can harass enemies by stunning them both in and out of combat, and Bayek can also see through her eyes.The Seer tree is for those who prefer the art of stealth and tricks. A trademark ability is Smoke Screen, allowing Bayek to stun nearby opponents and break line of sight. The Seer has the ability to hold his breath longer, make time advance quicker, and also utilizes Sleep Darts. Fire bombs, Poison Darts, and Flesh Decay round out his tricks.Warriors are for those who prefer using brute force to get the job done. This relies on the Adrenaline Bar to unlock abilities specific to each weapon class. Many of these talents focus on increasing overall damage output while allowing a secondary melee weapon to be equipped and enabling Bayek to Parry and attack while in the air. Due to such close-proximity fighting, health regen is included in this set. Discover these and many more of Bayeks talents when Assassins Creed Origins comes out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 27.
