Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed is one of the most successful gaming franchises in history, with each instalment exploring a different historical location. Origins takes players towards the end of the Ptolemaic period (49-47 BC). The conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Order of the Ancients drives the game’s narrative. While those organizations may be fictional, the world which they inhabit is largely realistic.
The Assassin’s Creed series is frequently praised for its graphics and Origins is no different. There may never be a more visually stunning recreation of Ancient Egypt than that achieved by Origins, with environments and cultural elements depicted in painstaking detail. This prompted Forbes to declare Origins to be the most realistic recreation of Ancient Egypt in video game history.
