At the end of the game, Aya and Bayek established the Assassin organization in Rome and Egypt respectively, and told the origin of that Assassin logo... Since the name of this game is "Assassin's Creed", I'm curious to know if there will be a follow-up Does the story develop?"

Moreover, there are many unlocked modules in the animus, I think in terms of Silent's obsessive-compulsive disorder, he is absolutely not Allow unfilled pits to appear, and these unlocked modules will definitely be made!"

The protagonist Bayek is a compassionate and courageous Assassin, He is driven by vengeance, and players will experience a tortuous story from his point of view: there are pharaohs and corrupt leaders in this story, as well as love won and lost, and you will also see the bottom of the people labor until they are exhausted, A plight that no one cares about."
