How to Wait and Pass Time in Assassin’s Creed Origins

Recommended Videos

Like most open-world games these days, Assassin’s Creed Origins gives you the ability to pass time whenever you want to. This lets you play around with the in-game day and night cycle and explore Egypt at your own leisure. However, passing time isn’t a feature that you can get access to from the start. Instead, it has to be unlocked from the skill tree as you level up.

To get this ability in Assassin’s Creed Origins, simply open up the menu and head over to the Abilities tab. Under the Warrior skill tree, look for the Dawn and Dusk ability and purchase it if you have enough ability points to do so. Once you’ve purchased it, you’ll be able to have Bayek pass the time by pressing and holding the touchpad button on the PS4 to advance the hours. And that’s all you need to know about passing time in the game.

Be sure to check back with Twinfinite and our expanding wiki for more information on Assassin’s Creed Origins.
