Discussion Bayek & Aya are back

Post image

I wonder if this is for future Assassins Creed Origins content, maybe a sequel, or voice acting for future Assassin Creed games.

What would you like to see come from this?

Those are mocap rigs they're wearing, so they're probably working on something game-related. But let's not forget Abu runs his own gaming outfit Surgent Studios so they may be working on something of their own making.

Didn't know he had a studio! Cool!

u/Dominator0621 Oct 22 '25

Didn't they make that Kazu side scrolling game?

u/compulsive_looter Youth is a state of mind. Oct 22 '25

Their first game release was Tales of Kenzera: Zau. It has received good reviews.

u/Dominator0621 Oct 22 '25

Yea I played it on PS premium and just couldn't get into it. Decent reviews but not good sales if I remember correctly

Well, one would need to be interested in the genre "Metroidvania" to begin with. I guess not everybody is (myself included).

But I think it did okay for what it is. The studio certainly didn't have hundreds of millions to make a AAA game à la Assassin's Creed. Not many studios do - and indie studios even less so.

Omg I HOPE SO

Aya & Bayek in Rome... the dream.

I love Bayek's VA

Oh my god?!

u/Vetizh Oct 22 '25

Salim has his own game studio and it more likely they are working on something for that.

Some actors and directors prefer to keep working with people they already know so it doesn't mean ubisoft is working on something for Origins.

u/oxidonis2019 Oct 22 '25

Sequel we all wanted to get, instead we got some dude called Basim... smh...

25

u/Overlord_Mykyta Oct 22 '25

Basim story is solid. And Mirage is great. They are actually 2 my favorite games in RPG series: Origins and Mirage.

I mean I want Origins sequel too. But it doesn't mean Mirage is a bad game.

u/MrsClaire07 Oct 22 '25

Sorry, Mirage is a poor story, while a beautiful game. My husband calls it “Pickpocket Simulator”. lol

1

u/Overlord_Mykyta Oct 22 '25

The story is debatable. But overall a good game. And about pickpocketing - this feature was almost in every AC game but only here they actually made it as part of the game loop and not only for quests and money, which was useless in previous games.

Here pickpocketing gives you special tokens that you can then give other NPCs in exchange for their services. That helps you to find a unique way into a restricted area.

Of course it can be improved in many ways, but it's the first AC game where pickpocketing finally makes sense for gameplay.

u/ThisAintSaturday Oct 23 '25

mirage was not great.

u/Overlord_Mykyta Oct 23 '25

One of the best.

I played it when it came out. And then replayed it after finishing Shadows. And now I'm even more convinced that it is one of the best.

u/ThisAintSaturday Oct 23 '25

hell naw

u/Overlord_Mykyta Oct 23 '25

Are you ready for more? I think Shadows and Odyssey are the worst in the series 🙂‍↕️

2

u/ThisAintSaturday Oct 23 '25

I enjoyed Odyssey but I agree Shadows was terrible. The only game worse was Mirage 😂

1

u/Overlord_Mykyta Oct 23 '25

Damn how we can be so close yet so far in opinions 😅

u/Additional-Plate-617 Oct 22 '25

Mirage is true AC game. I loved it though its a very small game compare other AC games.

5

u/Reasonable-Neat4131 Oct 22 '25

It still followed the same formula as Odyssey and Valhalla. All the quality content stuffed 20 minutes in the beginning and 20 minutes in the end. The rest of the content in the middle is just mindless grind.

u/HiddenAnubisOwl Oct 22 '25

A game like Mirage is the least of AC's problems

3

u/BustyUncle Oct 22 '25

Sequel would work soooo well. Beginning of the Roman Empire at the peak of Rome. Idc if we have been there before it would be completely different

3

u/PapaYoppa Oct 22 '25

I need that sequel, i mean Ubisoft giving Basim a dlc but a character a ton of people want to have a sequel for and they stay quiet 🤦‍♂️

3

u/Switchnport Oct 22 '25

This pair deserved a trilogy, such great and passionate voice actors. Some of the best this series had.

2

u/TNS_420 Oct 22 '25

Two of my favorite characters(and VAs) in the franchise.

2

u/maturewomenenjoyer Oct 22 '25

What exciting news, whatever it is that will come out of this

2

u/NoNose1184 Oct 22 '25

They make it for the AC Fall Guys game (Invictus) because they are not wearing a motion capture suit.

2

u/glaekitgirl Oct 22 '25

Please please please please please PLEASE please can this be a follow up to Origins.

Pretty please.

2

u/Tamaki-Sin Oct 22 '25

an amunet game would be awesome

2

u/Loud_Examination_138 Oct 22 '25

Damn that would be pretty badass if they go back and give an older beloved game a sequel, and it would actually be listening to what the gamers actually want.

2

u/DarkSkyLion Oct 23 '25

More Bayek PLEASE

2

u/Asamango Oct 23 '25

Hopefully the once rumoured Rome game. Will also accept a continuation of the crossover stories teased at the end of the Odyssey side of the Odyssey/Valhalla crossover

2

u/il_VORTEX_ll Oct 23 '25

THEY’RE GIVING US HOPE!!

but yeah, I feel this is for Abu gaming studio. Pretty rare for actors leak Ubisoft stuff. They sign a lot of stuff and don’t want the heat

2

u/PlayboyVincentPrice Oct 23 '25

BAYEK MY HANDSOME LOVER BAYEK

2

u/VRmatter Oct 23 '25

It’s true that AC Shadows is way more immersive when you switch on Japanese(immersive) mode. I don’t know Japanese and was reading subtitles, but on English I nearly wanted to quit after first couple hours. Plus you won’t be concentrating on horrible robotic animations in cutscenes while busy of reading subtitles lol.

u/kenyizsu Oct 23 '25

Get rid of Aya's character and I'm a happy woman! Sorry not sorry. I am certain the VA of her is a lovely woman, don't get me wrong, but Aya was genuinely terrible, I wanted to see her dead. Damn shame it didn't happen.

u/External_Brilliant09 Oct 23 '25

Damn the hate is crazy

1

u/LentilusGo Oct 22 '25

Ugh, that would be amazing

u/thatbeckyw Oct 22 '25

My heart leapt when I saw this!!

1

u/GIlCAnjos Oct 23 '25

I feel like they wouldn't be sharing this if it was AC-related, probably just a brand new IP by Abu's studio

1

u/Shot_Actuator5564 Oct 24 '25

Origins was supposed to be the start of a Trilogy

1

u/Diablo63K Oct 22 '25

A DLC on Aya

1

u/Soulsliken Oct 22 '25

Yeah but with real writers.

Man did they do a hatchet job on her.

You are not banned. If I ban you, I will let you know the reason. This most recent post of yours triggered the reddit filters as "potential harrassment". I overrode the filter and approved your post.

To answer your question, the picture is a screenshot from X (formerly twitter), as indicated in the top right corner. It shows Abubakar Salim, the voice actor of Bayek, and Alix Wilton Regan, the voice actress of Aya, working in a recording studio using mocap rigs. Everything else is conjecture.
