    How Assassin's Creed Origins Captures the Politics, Colonialism, and Betrayal of the Real Ancient Egypt

    This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG team.

    Spoiler Warning: Caution, this article contains spoilers for both Assassin's Creed Origins and, uh, history. But you paid attention in history class, right?

Set during the late 40s BCE, Ubisoft Montreal's latest follows Bayek of Siwa, a man from late period Ptolemaic Egypt, on a quest to find the shadowy Order of Ancients responsible for the death of his young son.

    ‘Assassin’s Creed Origins’: Who Are the Historical Figures?

    Assassin’s Creed games have always been history theme parks as much as they&#;ve been about stabbing people. Gameplay is built around fictional characters fighting a fictional shadow war of Assassins vs. Templars. However, when you&#;re not stabbing people, you get to rub elbows with great figures from the past. Be them Leonardo Da Vinci or the pirate Blackbeard, the real-life characters are often the most fun characters in these games.

The couple finds themselves trapped in a bloody battle of power between three major world leaders, Cleopatra, Ptolemy XIII, and Julius Caesar. Bayek and Aya’s actions will matter in this game&#;s story. But the battle between these three interesting figures will shape the rest of antiquity.

Now I realize that inom really should have played this game earlier.

    New entries in the Assassin’s Creed series were published on a yearly basis before Ubisoft decided the series needed to change to stay fresh. They devoted more time and resources to the development of Origins, resulting in a gorgeous game – in a series where all entries look excellent – with more freeform gameplay, lots of quests (main and side missions), and the introduction of various progression mechanics familiar from role-playing games.

    While the subtitle of the game – Origins – isn’t very original, it is nonetheless an accurate description. It details the origins of the Assas
