Explore Ancient Egypt in this action-adventure game. Battle powerful enemies, unveil conspiracies, and discover the origin story of the Assassin’s Brotherhood.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal · Published by Ubisoft






Set in ancient Egypt, the game follows Bayek, a Medjay whose personal pursuit of justice draws him into political conspiracies. His story explores the beginnings of the Assassin’s Brotherhood.
Explore deserts, cities, oases, and the Nile while taking on story and side missions. Scout locations with Senu, search tombs for secrets, and approach guarded camps through stealth or direct combat.
Fight with a selection of melee weapons, bows, and tools, then develop Bayek through skills, levels, and upgraded gear. Equipment has different qualities, and enemy levels can shape which encounters you are ready to face.
Players frequently enjoy wandering through the detailed recreation of ancient Egypt, where varied landscapes and historical locations make exploration a major draw. Many also praise Bayek and find his personal story engaging, while others consider the plot less compelling. Combat and weapon variety appeal to some players, though repetitive activities and progression demands are common reservations. A recurring complaint concerns needing Ubisoft Connect to launch the game and reported account-access problems.
From deserts to lush oases, from the Mediterranean Sea to the tombs of Giza, sail down the Nile, and fight your way against dangerous ancient factions and wild beasts as you explore this gigantic and unpredictable land.
Experience a completely new way to fight. Loot and use dozens of weapons with different characteristics and rarities. Explore deep progression mechanics and challenge your skills against unique and powerful bosses.
Engage in multiple quests and gripping stories as you cross paths with strong and memorable characters, from the wealthiest high-born to the most desperate outcasts.
