The future of Assassin’s Creed is uncertain, but it seems that we will find out in an event dedicated to it next September, where we will have new information about infinity and hopefully the revelation of new projects, which should go beyond what was seen in the RPG trilogy led by Layla Hassan, an employee of Abstergo Industries and creator of the Animus HR-8. Thanks to its portable version of the Animus, we have been able to relive great stories more or less focused on assassins throughout Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla, with unforgettable protagonists such as Kassandra and Eivor or the beloved Bayek de Siwa, who is now on lap.
Assassin’s Creed Origins is coming to Xbox Game Pass earlier this month, days later receiving a patch for Xbox Series X | S that allows us to enjoy this masterpiece at 4K and 60 FPS, leaving us even more amazed with one of the most spectacular and magical settings of the entire Assassin’s Creed franchise. . So now, to celebrate the return of one of the best games in the saga and the RPG trilogy starring Medjay Bayek, from SomosXbox we bring you 5 reasons to return to Assassin’s Creed Origins.
Evolution of Assassin’s Creed from the Holy Land to Valhalla
1. Classic franchise-style revenge story
From a very young age, Bayek was predestined to follow in the footsteps of his father Sabu, but the presence of a dark group calling themselves the Order of the Ancients is terrorizing Egypt from the shadows, sowing death and chaos. His father and other Medjay were victims of the Order, as was his son Khemu. After what happened, Bayek and Aya set off in search of revenge.
2. A spectacular and living world where many secrets await us
Unlike other titles in the saga, Assassin’s Creed Origins has a very lively world full of secrets. This might clash with being set in a place that is a vast desert, but civilization places are teeming with life and people to help through side quests. On the other hand, throughout our journey through Ancient Egypt, we will find a large number of places that have hidden secrets, such as the interior of the pyramids or the mythical Sphinx of Giza. But this is not all, since Origins is one of the first games with a large amount of wildlife, both terrestrial and aquatic, in places like the Nile River.
3. The magic of his BSO transports us directly to Ancient Egypt
Ubisoft knew that the vibrant landscapes, magic and grandeur of Ancient Egypt itself required a unique soundtrack and a composer to match. For this reason, the French company chose Sarah Schachner, who previously worked on other titles in the franchise such as Assassin’s Creed Unity, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. As the vast majority of us verified at the time of her, Sarah showed the world her great work with the Origins OSTwhich made us fall in love with and make us feel within Egypt in equal parts, surpassing itself once again in the challenge of uniting the past and the future in a musical harmony.
4. Bayek and Aya
After titles like Unity or Syndicate, where its protagonists did not have as much weight in the story as, for example, Ezio Auditore, Altaïr or Edward Kenway, Assassin’s Creed Origins returned with a new story and ten protagonists. Bayek has been one of the most beloved characters in the RPG trilogy and the franchise in general. In addition, our Medjay, in the Spanish version, is dubbed by Jordi Boixaderas, the same one who gave voice to the great protagonist of Gladiator, Máximo Décimo Meridio, a great point in our favor.
On the other hand we have Aya, much loved by fans but with less prominence in the story than many would have liked. It got to such an extent that many players have been asking in recent years for an independent game starring her. Although, Aya of Alexandria, also known as Amunet, was a Greco-Egyptian agent of the pharaoh Cleopatra and founded the Hidden Ones with Bayek. She, like her husband, became great assassins, Aya being remembered even in the Assassin sanctuary in Monteriggioni, after working as the Mentor of the Roman Brotherhood.
5. Your patch for Xbox Series X|S and arrival at Game Pass
As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, just a few days ago, Assassin’s Creed Origins received a patch with improvements for next-gen consoles. Unlike PS5 gamers, Xbox Series X is the only console that allows everyone to enjoy this incredible adventure at 4K and 60 FPS. In addition, Game Pass users will be able to play Origins for “free”. With the above points, the next-gen improvement and its arrival on Game Pass, what are you waiting for to return to Assassin’s Creed Origins?
