Aerial Shots with Senu
Bayek’s trusty eagle companion, Senu, forms an important new scouting-and-tagging mechanic in Assassin’s Creed Origins. By flying Senu high above enemy outposts, Bayek is able to tag their location to keep track of them while stealthing around. It’s a cool system that we’ve seen employed in Ubisoft games like Far Cry, and it has since been adopted by several other big franchises, such as Horizon Zero Dawn and Metal Gear Solid. But while those games are all undoubtedly gorgeous, none of them quite match the grand spectacle of Assassin’s Creed Origins’ Ancient Egyptian setting.
The glistening desert sands, the towering pyramids of Giza, and the awe-inspiring Sphynx statues — Origins is a beautiful environment worth savoring. For that very reason, don’t limit yourself to using Senu merely as a combat tool. Send Senu up into the air over the landscape’s most impressive vistas and get trigger happy taking pretty screenshots of this breathtaking spectacle.
