Ubisoft announces ‘Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed: Ancient Egypt’

Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed: Ancient Egypt is an educational mode where users can explore the entire 3D recreation of Ancient Egypt found in Assassin’s Creed Origins free of story, combat and time constraints. In what feels like a massive virtual museum, users can venture from Alexandria to Memphis to the Giza Plateau and more all while learning about Ptolemaic Egypt.

From the beginning, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has always explored pivotal moments in history, from the Third Crusade to the Italian Renaissance, and this year Ancient Egypt

Said Jean Guesdon, creative director of Assassin’s Creed Origins.

It’s a dream come true for us to offer Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed: Ancient Egypt, an educational
mode built specifically for people to learn more about the incredible history of Ancient Egypt through the interactive
experience made possible via a video game.

This experience will include guided tours curated by historians and Egyptologists where users will learn about the life of Cleopatra, mummification, and the Great Pyramids in new and interesting ways.

Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed: Ancient Egypt will be released sometime in early 2018. And Assassin’s Creed Origins will hit actual and digital store shelves on October 27, 2017 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Check back with Gaming Trend for our Assassin’s Creed Origins preview coverage coming soon.
