Well, add this to the list of evidence that Assassin's Creed Origins is definitely a thing, even if Ubisoft won't admit so just yet. NeoGAF user WraithWalker 1893 posted a picture of what appears to be a bit of Assassin's Creed Origins merch - specifically, a t-shirt with the hero emblazoned on the front.
I don't know about you, but I'm liking what I see. A costume that looks basic and not too flashy, a bow (suggesting some long-range capabilities), a shield (indicating some more brutal melee combat perhaps), and … is "Ba Yek" our hero's name? Google Translate says that's Kurdish for "one," which would make a certain amount of sense but I'll leave that as something of a mystery.
Even Ubisoft has taken notice. Here's Ashraf Ismail, previously listed as the game director for Assassin's Creed 4 and currently the director of "an unannounced project" making what could only be a cheeky subtweet:

In short, everything here matches what we've heard about AC Origins so far: a trip way, way back in time to ancient Egypt, showing us the… well, origins of the Assassin-Templar conflict, helmed by the team that developed Black Flag. All we need wait for now is some official confirmation - maybe by way of a stylish trailer?
I've seen enough: Assassin's Creed Shadows will beat Black Flag as my favorite AC game as Ubisoft says it lets you "Naruto run" as the "fastest Assassin" it's ever made
Ubisoft had to "retool" the mobile game lore for Assassin's Creed Shadows, with a brand new modern narrative that "will develop over time"
