Ancient Egyptian Architecture In Assassin's Creed Origins

Historians Review & Ubisoft Developer Interview with Maxime Durand

In this episode, Matt Lewis and Dr Holly Nielsen review the game's adaptation of history, before interviewing Ubisoft resident historian and Assassin's Creed World Director, Maxime Durand, about how the game developers recreated Ancient Egypt.
