This isn\u2019t a new console or PC release. It\u2019s a 1-4 player<\/strong> competitive asymmetric tabletop game built around stealth, exploration, assassination, and rivalry.<\/p>\n\n

It covers as many as 10 historical settings<\/strong> and features Assassins including Alta\u00efr, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Arno, Jacob, Bayek, Kassandra, Eivor, and Naoe. Bayek is part of the lineup, though his exact abilities are still being kept under wraps ahead of release, according to the Kickstarter<\/a> campaign page.<\/p>\n\n

That same Kickstarter page says the campaign has pulled in \u00a3274,425<\/strong>. The \u00a365 Initiate tier covered six eras, while the Early Bird Master Assassin tier expanded that to as many as 10 eras, including Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins<\/a> and Bayek.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019re still invested in Bayek, this looks like one to pick up<\/strong> when it arrives. Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins is still one of the most praised entries in the series, and Bayek\u2019s story with Aya in Cleopatra\u2019s Egypt, after the death of their son, matters because it sets up the Hidden Ones, the group that later becomes the Assassin Brotherhood, along with its long war against the Templars.<\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s why fans are still asking Ubisoft for more of Bayek\u2019s story<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

You can follow Assassin\u2019s Creed Animus on its Kickstarter campaign page, where shipping is currently expected in October 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
