Set in 49 BCE in Ancient Egypt, during the ascension of Cleopatra VII to the throne, and the beginning of the end of the Egyptian empire.
Assassin’s Creed: Origins follows Bayek of Siwa, hailed from the town of Siwa in Egypt. He’s also the last Medjay, an old Nubian Egyptian order which had become obsolete under the rule of the Greek Ptolemies. Bayek was the respected protector of his community, but viewed as an inconvenient relic by those in power in the rest of Egypt.
Bayek’s journey will take him across Egypt, witnessing a shift in power as well as playing a pivotal role in the birth of the Assassin Brotherhood.
