Remembering Assassin's Creed Origins, the game which opened out the mysteries of the Great Pyramid


Eurogamer looks back on Assassin's Creed Origins, and its relationship with the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

We're in Egypt, at Giza, and some academic type has used some kind of ground-penetrating imaging to reveal a hint of undiscovered passages within the Great Pyramid. This stuff is incredible - the Grand Gallery itself, a path to the King's Chamber which opens out and seems to fairly scream a sense of vital meaning that it's very tricky to guess at, is probably the most thrilling space I have ever been in. Now even the game itself is starting to fade in my memory, but I do remember at one point heading down with Bayek and finding a great improbable space deep under the Pyramid filled with magical stuff and ancient computers and maybe - of course - a boss fight.
