If there’s one benefit to Assassin’s Creed’s just-a-simulation framing system, it’s that you could bend the principles (and timeline) sometimes. While it is unnecessary temporally, those that have been looking in-game achievements in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey can cash in their earned Club Units to make Origins hero Bayek of Siwa an officer aboard your flagship, the Adrestia. While he doesn’t have a lot to say, it’s good to see him nonetheless discovering work 4 hundred years earlier than he was born.
While I’ve but to dive into Odyssey myself (I’m nonetheless hip deep in Origins’s sprawling expansions), I’ve been knowledgeable that Bayek’s stats are middling, however you’ll be able to no less than summon him into battle with you utilizing the Call To Arms talent. Bayek does stand out amongst your crew (not too many hooded Egyptians there), however you’ll be able to assist him mix in a bit with an optionally available Medjay crew theme, launched some time in the past. Again, it’s a Club Point redemption merchandise, however not an costly one.

My largest disappointment is that they’ve gone for the marketing-friendly model of Bayek, wanting grim, hooded and clean-shaven. Everyone is aware of that one of the best ways to play him is totally bearded and with a full head of hair. He’s your friendly neighbourhood murder-dad, in any case. Assuming you’re an historical, fictional Egyptian. Which you most likely aren’t. The launch of Bayek additionally marks the beginning of a brand new weekly occasion quest – it’s easy stuff, actually, simply sink twenty-five Spartan ships, and stab fifty Spartan troopers, as a result of blood pays the payments in historical Greece.
You can seize Bayek and the Medjay crew theme in your ship on the Ubisoft Club page here. Bayek prices 40 models, the Medjays 30, and the game pays out 250 for those who’re capturing to finish it 100%. And for those who’re nonetheless on the fence, try John and Matt’s breakdowns of the whole lot wrong and right with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
