[@gtabro1337]

It's even narrated? So it's like a virtual tour? Mad props for Ubi this time

[@jimmy22334]

It’s an interactive documentary. This should honestly be used in schools. Much more effective than textbooks.

[@Qladstone]

​@JocaPT Indeed! For those that happen to be interested in both history and language, having an interactive voiced tour in your target language at your convenience is amazing.

[@NedlohZ]

now that's the true value of AC games

[@777Mikos]

hear hear

[@jvalenzuela199]

Dilly dilly

[@presiqnqnkov8391]

Lol

[@Dr_Gerbz]

This is what future museums will be like, actually walking through ancient civilizations. This is what I've been waiting for since I was a kid.

[@Year_0]

I'm not joking when i say this is the first game my mum says "pause the game" when she leaves the room, usually its "turn it off i want to watch...". Great game if mothers approve too, gotta applaud ubisoft.

[@grumpent]

Muddathir Allarakha 🍾🤧

[@Lord_ofcinder]

ubisoft pls do this for every other ac game coming

[@apollojoe]

And do one for ACU as a new DLC.

[@DiScaryGuy]

Actually Ubisoft is ruining the game with all these micro transactions

[@Fulllife3.2]

So basically you can be a tourist in Egypt without having to actually go to Egypt.

[@petarvasilijevic310]

Full Life 3 yea

[@kamaldr]

Full Life 3 it’s not a flying car but it’s something

[@HKarlsson]

Full Life 3 imagine this in VR!

[@Fulllife3.2]

Yeah! That would be awesome!

[@elessal]

being a turist is dangerous and expensive.

[@thanhsonnguyen592]

Virtual tourism is the thing I love the most about AC games. I hope many more developers would adapt this idea in historical open world games.

[@Phanthief95]

And they say video games rot your brains. Look at this, parents! Educational!

[@aleafreinn]

Son, you’re grounded for a month!

[@Ezman04]

Ive learned many facts from games as well

[@theprobester6034]

My dad always said he liked me playing assassins creed because I’m essentially learning about historical places and events while still playing a video game

[@Spatan295]

I think you can even buy this mode separately on PC, too! You don't even need to get the full game for it there.

[@PrimiusLovin]

The 1st step into growing up as a person with independent thoughts is to stop listening to everything parents say as being always correct, my parents had very little to teach me by the time I was 14!

[@peterGchaves]

When we thought this game couldn't be any better... Now THIS!! Thank you so much Ubisoft!!! 😊 Oh my, if only all of the previous games had this feature instead of the long plain text descriptions...

[@CrAzyM1ner]

YES! this reminds me of that short videos you could play in ac 2 of every person (target) you killed

[@garienz_]

Awesome, I feel more immersed to the game world. Bravo ubisoft you saved the franchise.

[@destiny2370]

brava*

[@connerwilson103]

Tanz Boy bravo

[@destiny2370]

No it's not, believe me.

[@connerwilson103]

Tanz Boy it's bravo in English at the very least, considering he was speaking English then it's bravo

[@pietroportone6324]

Conner Wilson You all know bravo is just Italian for good job... Well its just you Americans that adopted this into your everyday vocabulary

[@gabrielluis3344]

EVERY AC game should have had this!

[@terrygift1807]

Yeah it would be fun to play as just a normal person

[@aaronbmg5787]

That would be fun, and I hope it will give one in the following AC games! 😀

[@terrygift1807]

I liked to play as Ziio Conner's mother

[@auag5968]

Ezio trilogy has notes in the games like if you go near a historical structure or building a small note will appear with some details about those structures. Not exactly like in this video but there is at least that. Can't remember on AC 3 and AC4 atm.

[@jnmc2498]

This way of learning could be a way for schools to educate the children. Make it fun, make it playful. And they could make "tests" in the game to unlock next tour if they get enough right answers.

[@HeloisGevit]

Very cool, this team is clearly the best one that makes AC games, first Black Flag, now this!

[@SSchithFoo]

I always thought AC games have much more potential to make people interested in actual history and be educational. I wanted them to do this for a long time and they finally actually did this.

[@Therealzooted]

we need this in VR. Future of Museums

[@davewills6121]

Lets not make a great game Tacky and Lame, VR is dead.

[@Therealzooted]

if you read properly I never said we need the game in VR. what I said is "we need this in VR" the "Discovery mode"

[@penguin9941]

*end of museums

[@Therealzooted]

*Jesus Christ* your annoying....you must not understand what a museum is.

[@alexkok5748]

ThatGuyYouKnowAndLove diaz Thats an overstatement haha. The beauty about museums is that you see the real thing in person.

[@TheTribalFreshie]

From when they had encyclopedia entries in the games, it was always gonna have an educational aspect. Like the route they took this in

[@JudgeFudge57]

That's how it is a great improvement

[@blackvial]

Eriko. Oy there are things to interact with in this mode

[@GideonCyn]

And yet this game didnt even get a mention in most goty awards, shameful display!

[@TheYoutubeTick]

deity 93 because game wise it was okay at best.

[@ScariestMovieScenes]

Because it's generic

[@shishaceo5204]

And PUBG was nominated for GOTY. Game awards are not best games but most popular games. Game awards are irrelevant.

[@alextownley9388]

dxt2891 bullshit. It’s easily one of the best games that Ubisoft has ever made.

[@PokeRedstone]

Because there were A LOT of good games last year. And I mean A LOT. It was arguably the best year in gaming so far. The competition for GOTY was tighter than ever, and it shouldn’t really matter that much. If you loved the game then more power to you. It sold well too. Critically, it was received better than most recent titles. People just thought it wasn’t on the same level as other games that came out. Hell, I’m sure there were people at IGN who argued for it. It’s a decently large office and pretty much everyone there gets to put forth a game they loved.

[@Jujubao]

Good job Ubisoft, for the first time they did something different. Now that I know, I'm ready to buy this game.

[@hardboiledeggs4896]

Good on you dude. This game is full of exploration and discoveries. I spent more than half of my time going in tombs, structures and riding my horse to discover new areas.

[@michaelvera1923]

this can replace history class

[@megamanx1291]

It would make class very fun. "Students, boot up AC origins on your PC"

[@Topplethepyramid]

Nope, historical facts that are problematic are revised.

[@nazshak]

Except the fact that the history it teaches is completely wrong lul

[@supervanilla101]

Too bad this wasn't available back in AC unity (despite the bugs) would love to learn more about Jacques De Molay/French Revolution

[@lfdrumming7804]

supervanilla Go and read a book about it then lol.

[@supervanilla101]

LF Drumming That's a different experience altogether lol

[@Topplethepyramid]

You can't learn history from these games, lol. History is problematic, so Ubisoft did some historical revisions with this game. Reading a book or watching a documentary will teach you way more.

[@someguyonyt2831]

Topplethepyramid i completely agree with you if read a book and watching a documentary will teach you way more but watching a documentary is kinda meh and reading a book is very boring sometime but if you learn a history from this game is very fun and very enjoyable.....well, at least for me :P

[@thorsten8790]

If you don't find reading about history fun, that's because you obviously have no true interested in it.

[@hybridhd7436]

I love that Ubisoft put an intense amount of research into these subjects. It really showed how much they cared about the game and the history of the setting

[@elliottmcdermott8879]

Let’s be honest Ashraf and his team have saved this series not once but twice now with Black Flag and now Origins. Ubisoft owe them a lot. I have a lot of respect and admiration for him and his team in the effort that must have gone in to make this game. Enjoyed every minute of it and wish from now on (but probably won’t) that they are given sole capabilities at manufacturing the rest of the new series in this game. So much to do in this game if you take your time with it. We might as well now considering we have over a year and a half to wait for the next one!

[@jasonck9635]

This mode is awesome , I love historical facts , and it’s pretty cool that they have included this in a videogame

[@jamster126]

This is very cool!

[@AndrewPagel9628]

This was a really neat idea to do. I wouldn't mind if every AC had this feature from now on

[@amoghskulkarni]

Imagine every history class being taught like this - every major era, every major event.. Man, this has a potential to completely change the way how we teach the history. Truly impressive!

[@TheProjectOverload]

I love this idea - Assassin's Engine turned educational - Finally can share this gorgeous game with my kids! A++ Ubisoft.

[@slayersenseii2493]

Btw S is higher than A so rate it S+

[@mouradzarouni9326]

Great game seriously, one of the best game ever, graphics, immersion, knowledge, action,...... Ubisoft make us happy and make a remake for enzio or a new game please

[@marklittle7976]

How amazing is this an "IGM" IN GAME MUSEUM! would be great to have more of these. Gamers are good!

[@xXGamerDudeXx13]

I hope we do a tour of more than just the pyramids starting next Tuesday. After seeing this, this was an amazing idea from the company. You get to learn so much about this 1 city/country/continent destination in ancient history.

[@topbanana8438]

always what i wanted, now i can visit Egypt and dont have to worry about my head been chopped off

[@kobakareli]

I feel like pyramids were the missed opportunity for AC Origins. They could have been filled with mazes, puzzles, traps and cool rewards for reaching the tomb.

[@nikolaiiscoolguyproduction4807]

There are some puzzles, granted they are basic, but yeah the rewards should have been unique.

[@vrynnie]

yeah. the only reward is an ability point and some heka chest equivalent loot. meh. wish they did more with the pyramids and the tombs.

[@shishaceo5204]

You want a fictional pyramid.

[@alextownley9388]

They wanted them to be as historically accurate as possible.. and they do have puzzles and the tombs to explore soooo

[@kobakareli]

Mona Swanson call it what you will, but I want a fun pyramid, because ultimately I want a fun game. It's not like the rest of the game is true to the history. Not to mention Egyptian architects would take some measures to somehow protect tombs of their Pharaohs from being raided by robbers other than those not so well "hidden entrances"

[@eliaspuolakka290]

It's like a interactive history document I'm in.

[@SeriousMcnegative]

Superb addition, and one that 'historiophiles' or anyone with a deeper appreciation of the Assassin's Creed project will undoubtedly relish! Now: if Ubisoft can do this with an AC game set in feudal Japan, they're in the money!

[@msob8272]

AS an Egyptian I have nothing but to appreciate the ubisoft team behind this amazing mode in the game , it is so accurate and beautiful at the same time . well done ubisoft

Jairo Gonzalez there are many much better games

[@Illuminat3d]

One of the best games you'll ever play

[@EtherGamerNetwork]

Jairo Gonzalez get this game. It’s amazing. Check out our podcast, we talk about this game.

[@dah500]

Jairo Gonzalez I played all AC’s and I can tell you this is by far the best one in the series overall. The story isn’t AC2 great but with all the other stuff they added and that you can do it’s easily the best. Bayek’s voice actor is also amazing, the opening cutscene in particular really sent shivers down my spine and gave me goosebumps. There’s a fair share of glitches but I never encountered game breaking glitches, probably as buggy as AC4 which wasn’t that bad so you really have nothing to worry about. Hopefully I helped.

[@HaiderAli-nn1ul]

Jairo Gonzalez It is really fun definite pickup and looks and play amazing on one x

[@dgg32]

I traveled to Egypt to see all the 6 (3 Giza + step + Bent + Red) pyramids because of this game. In real life, the pyramids are much much bigger and also much much further away from each other (31 km from step to bent + red). So, if you are already impressed by the in game pyramids, you will be jaw dropped by the real things. You can go inside in three of them (2 Giza + red), truely bewildered by the ancient Egyptians design and the fact that they made it, all 6 of them.

[@aeonart_]

Amazing. Can't believe they did something so detailed and informative in a video game.

[@PrimiusLovin]

I see that Ubisoft probably watched the J-P Houdin's documentary about how the pyramids were built, that is a must-see documentary. To me it's the best theory someone has ever come up with, most of what he explains makes sense. Also, if after watching that documentary you're still not mesmerized by the construction and the (true) purpose of this pyramid, there's probably something wrong with you!

[@frusci.t]

Ok, this is amazing.

[@chocobosROK]

The amount of detail they put into re-creating the pyramid is boggling my mind. Can't wait until this mode comes out!

[@BFG-hv2ml]

I must say that this is one of the best thing i’ve ever seen in game industry... just awesome educational material.. 😍

[@CatConnoisseur]

Very cool. I would have loved something like this in Brotherhood. Maybe they’ll do a Classical period Greece/Rome one day...

[@Svartalfgeist]

This is glorious. I hope every single AC game has this mode from now on

[@archiehllee]

[@wdckqjcgf]

I love this put this in every assassins creed and i play them all.

[@laliluleloson]

AC Origins is underrated. It's finally the quintessential Assassin's Creed game and a great starting point for the modern/ancient lore. But also quietly a sequel for long time fans.

i think this is a really good nod to one of the most sophisticated and important cultures in ancient history. Whilst still being an unbiased source of information
