Jean Guesdon, Creative Director of Assassin's Creed Origins and the Discovery Tour by Assassin's Creed: Ancient Egypt. "With the Discovery Tour by Assassin's Creed: Ancient Egypt, we are giving anyone interested in ancient Egypt a chance to admire the beauty of this world and realize that video games can be an inspiring source of knowledge."
The interactivity related to the world of video games allows a great involvement of players with this content. This makes the Discovery Tour by Assassin's Creed: Ancient Egypt perhaps the next type of educational tool.
Maxime Durand, internal historian at Ubisoft Montreal explains that: "We have been in contact with professors since the launch of the Assassin's Creed franchise ten years ago. Many of them were already using the games during their history classes but recently realized that what they needed was an easy-to-access educational tool based on our historical re-enactments. With the Discovery Tour by Assassin's Creed: Ancient Egypt players can understand and visualize thousands of elements of Egyptian history in a true context. By being a game and an educational tool, it is a unique resource for teachers to integrate into their history lessons."
