The game plus mode has been highly requested by the players since the game’s release in October last year with the devs responding that they will look into it. Very little information is known about the Game+ Mode and where it would fit within the narrative but the biggest takeaway is that Ubisoft has been listening to the players and the fans.
And while players have finally sought out answers regarding the Game+ mode, many are enjoying the game’s expansion serves as the sequel to Origins story four years later. Bayek is now travelling to the Sinai Peninsula where he embroils himself in a war between the Romans and a rebel faction.
More Origins content will be arriving next month with the Discovery Tour on February 20. This mode offers players a more leisurely style of play by simply exploring the world and learning more about the game’s version of Ancient Egypt minus the combat and story campaigns.

Staying on the topic of Assassin’s Creed: Origins, fans were startled when a hidden audio message was discovered last week. The discovery was brought to light by a Redditor, Nightmare T12, which was from an ancient civilisation know as the Isu which digs deep into the game’s lore.
This hidden message can be triggered when (and if) players travel to the hometown of the game’s protagonist, Bayek, and enters a vault in a cave. Although there’s limited time period on when to access this audio message as players can only access it late in the game near the end of the game’s story but it can’t be accessed once the story is complete.

Although this mysterious voice mentions “the Eye”, ” temples” and “the Apples”, the message is just as ominous as the voice projecting it. Fans spent a week discussing what this message means and the intention behind it until an Ubisoft spokesperson unveiled the mystery behind this ominous message.
According to the spokesperson, the message was only added after the game’s initial launch but was missing due a bug with the Vault door. When the team went in and fixed this bug, it gave the team an opportunity to add the message.
A YouTuber Leo K recorded the gameplay scene where the message can be found. Can you decipher the meaning behind the message?
I guess, not so mysterious and ominous after all…
