Explore Ancient Egypt

As our research showed that gamers did not trust Ubisoft’s traditional trailers, no matter how good they looked, we went with a different approach and designed an experience that would inspire gamers to create shareable, social, snackable pieces of content. Assassin’s Creed Origins claims to be the most accurate reproduction of ancient Egypt ever made. With its wonders of ancient civilization, Egypt has always been a favourite of tourists. So we thought that if this game is as close to reality as it claims, why not let people visit it as tourists? We launched ExploreAncientEgypt.com, a website where gamers could book immersive guided tours within the actual game build. There they could explore never-before-seen regions of the game map and bring back digital memories in the form of Instagram and Facebook-like stories that they could customize and share everywhere on their social platforms—just as any excited tourist would.
