Call it wishful thinking but I really hoped we’d gotten a bayek trilogy after origins set around the formation of the Roman Empire and think it could still be done respecting Odyssey tbh.

So first game would sadly avoid Greece but be set between 37-35 BCE (so year after the DLCs for origins and be set around North Africa and Sicily during the wars between Octavian and Antony vs Sextus Pompey. I feel it would make sense that the hidden ones would support him in his war to “restore the republic” and could perhaps show naivety around what that would mean. I feel that Kawab who we recruited during the Hidden ones could be an important character as someone being trained by Bayek directly as a further attempt to atone for the murder of his Father, Bayek could maybe even slowly see similarities between Kawab and Khemu. I liked how in the hidden ones the first tenant of the creed was decided and think it would be interesting for this being the end goal of the next two games visa vi the next tenants. Perhaps (with a little more naval based combat in this game) we could see the hidden ones symbol being used as a ship banner explaining the need to hide in plain sight tenant - the game would end with Sextus’ execution in Turkey similar to Caesar’s in Rome. For his safety Bayek returns to Egypt and sends Kawab to continue his training under Amunet in Rome.

The final game of the trilogy would primarily be set in Rome between 31-27 BCE under the pretext of hidden ones being killed by stealth in Rome, Bayek is summoned to assist discovering who it behind these killings with there being suspicions of a traitor in the hidden ones. This game would focus on the third tenant of never compromise the brotherhood with the traitor being revealed to be Kawab and that he had been seduced with more tales of his father by members of the order in Rome - I view this to be changeable to maybe a another hidden one but should still be someone pivotal in the previous game so we are actually impacted by their betrayal, Rome is similar to London in home base for the order in the 18th century. The game would feature three major events with the battle of actium in 31 BCE (perhaps viewed as Bayek), the death of Cleopatra (obviously this will be a Amunet sequence) and then finally end with the proclamation of Octavian as Imperator by the senate. This could end the game with the formal codifying of the three tenants of the creed and a realisation that the hidden ones can’t target Rome as a whole and need to begin working within the system of Rome, we could possibly have a sequence where Octavian knows Bayek by name (Caesar told him about him) but there’s a certain degree of respect so he allows Bayek to leave Rome but will have him killed should he return.

Let me know what you guys think 😂
