Abubakar Salim, the actor who portrayed Bayek of Siwa, protagonist of Ubisoft’s acclaimed Assassin’s Creed Origins, has expressed interest in bringing Bayek back for a follow-up sequel. Assassin’s Creed Origins came out in 2017 to glowing reviews as it set a new precedent for the long-running franchise with its budding RPG elements, laying the groundwork for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla to lean further into RPG territory.

It would be amazing to see Bayek of Siwa return in a new Assassin’s Creed sequel, especially with the success of Origins and the shift towards RPG elements in the newer titles. The potential for his character development and story in a follow-up game is truly exciting. What do you think Bayek could bring to a sequel that would set it apart from the rest of the franchise?

As a dedicated fan of the Assassin’s Creed series and a lover of well-crafted narratives in games, I am eager to see Bayek make a return in a sequel. His strong sense of justice and loyalty in Origins made him a standout protagonist, and further exploring his character in a sequel could offer a unique perspective on the franchise. With his connection to the Creed and Ancient Egypt, there is potential to delve deeper into the lore of the Assassin’s Order in a different time period. By centering on Bayek’s story, a sequel could bring a fresh take while still honoring the series’ core elements. With the right direction and storytelling, I believe a sequel with Bayek could captivate both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Reply by ShadowReaper: Absolutely! Bayek’s connection to Egypt’s people and culture is what makes him a standout character. His unwavering sense of justice and personal vendetta add depth to his story. I believe a sequel focusing on these aspects could bring a unique and compelling narrative to the Assassin’s Creed series. Excited to see where Bayek’s journey takes him next!

Absolutely, ShadowReaper! Bayek of Siwa was truly a standout character in Assassin’s Creed Origins. His passion for justice and deep connection to his world made him so compelling. I hope Ubisoft continues his story in a sequel, exploring his evolution and how his past actions have influenced the world. Digging into his relationships and backstory could bring even more depth to his character and the overall narrative. I can’t wait to see where Bayek goes next!
