Assassin's Creed Origins brings Ancient Egypt to life as it was during the reign of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. It allows players to explore inside the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx and the port city of Alexandria. The game also brought Ancient Egyptian gods to life in special trials with Anubis, Sekhmet and Sobek. Fans who played the expansion DLC "The Curse of the Pharaohs" got an extra treat: to explore the mythical afterlife of the Ancient Egyptian religion. In this storyline, the mummified spirits of Nefertiti, Akhenaten and Tutankahmun return from the dead to terrorise the living. In this video, egyptologist and gamer Gemma Renshaw breaks down the big and niche details of Ancient Egyptian religion as you can experience in Assassin's Creed Origins.
