Bayek is back, and as of August 20, 2026, he\u2019s showing up in Watcher of Realms<\/a>. The game\u2019s Echoes Across Realms crossover brings the Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins<\/a> lead in as a playable hero, alongside other Assassin\u2019s Creed characters: Ezio Auditore, Kassandra, Eivor, and Evie Frye.<\/p>\n

For now, though, this isn\u2019t tied to any new Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins DLC. Bayek\u2019s only confirmed return is in Watcher of Realms, the mobile and PC tower defense RPG, where players can unlock him as a long-range specialist<\/strong> who has an advantage against aerial enemies. He also comes with an Order of the Duat skin, plus three story stages modeled after Egypt, Asgard, and Athens: Ancient Sea of Sand, Sanctuary of the Gods, and Cradle of Wisdom.<\/p>\n\n

Ubisoft still hasn\u2019t announced a new Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins expansion or a Bayek sequel. That\u2019s despite years of fans asking for one, Bayek actor Abubakar Salim saying he\u2019d like to return, and the rumors still circling Ubisoft\u2019s next mainline game, Project Hexe.<\/p>\n\n

So if you\u2019ve been waiting to see Bayek get another chapter, this Watcher of Realms update is probably the thing to jump on. The Creed of the Assassin web event is live until October 18<\/strong>, and it lets players claim Ezio for free just by logging in.<\/p>\n\n
