Assassin’s Creed Origins: Bayek’s Amazing Missed Trilogy

Bayek of Siwa was one of the game’s great conversationalists and the main character of Assassin’s Creed Origins. Bayek’s emotional journey touched so many players, prompting them to wish for the trilogy that could commission Assassin’s Creed Origins in an Ezio way; that wish has been further flamed by the richness of Bayek’s character and the fascinating historical context of the narrative in which he found himself.

Bayek carries a lot of grief in his heart through a long path of vengeance before founding the Hidden Ones, formerly known as the Assassin Brotherhood. Players would answer to Bayek’s story of justice after the clash that ends in an untimely death for the son, Khemu.

The reasons for Bayek’s fighting were modern rather than ancient ones, and that made him so human that he was remarkably easy to feel sympathy for from within the players’ minds. He also became popular among followers because he devoted himself to protecting innocents, a tenet he instilled early in his budding organization in Assassin’s Creed Origins.

Why Bayek Deserved More

This continues the precedent that Ezio Auditore da Firenze’s trilogy developed for a multi-title character arc in Assassin’s Creed. Players followed Ezio through the progression from that young nobleman to the aged, wise Master Assassin within this trilogy. As Gamerant put it, this does aid greatly in connecting players deeply by having such a narrative and storytelling length. Many fans of Assassin’s Creed Origins felt Bayek deserved this same grand-style storytelling.

Untapped Potential of Origins

Assassin’s Creed Origins appears to be a self-sufficient offering, but the end of the game opened a lot of channels for future explorations by setting up the Hidden Ones. A follow-up sequel could focus on the Roman world while Bayek attempted to open bureaus.

Just imagine a title in Rome, focusing on Bayek’s wife, Aya (Amunet), who would play an important role. It would have satisfied the thirst for more of this dynamic pair. Just as fans await new content in other RPGs, such as those cited in “Clair Obscur Expedition 33: New Content and Improvements,” so did these players want for the story of Assassin’s Creed: Origins.

Bayek: A Foundational Figure

In the literal sense of the word “Founder” of the Hidden Ones, Bayek is such an important figure. This closely ties his journey to the sinews of Assassin’s Creed lore. In such a trilogy, Ubisoft could greatly flesh out the origins and early principles of the Brotherhood.

It outlines how the creed has been shaping contemporary fame. Some particulars in regard to what happened next with Bayek still have an air of speculation, but the potential is being noted in fan speculation, as might appear on YouTube.

Many fans are discussing how such a pivotal figure would receive a story expansion like Ezio’s, thereby strengthening Bayek’s legacy within the Assassin’s Creed franchise, much like the anticipation surrounding RPG titles to come, like “Outer Worlds 2: A Stunning 2025 RPG Shooter.”
