SASA continues our archaeogaming playthroughs this January with Assassins Creed Origins; Curse of the Pharaohs! This time we will be taking a deep dive into ancient Egypt, exploring the myths, misconceptions, and mysteries of the setting while taking in the sights, sounds, and swords of our enemies. This playthrough will be 6/7 weeks long, beginning on Jan. 14th @ 2pm EDT via Twitch with Dr. Briana Jackson. Find out more at our Twitch channel!
Our playthrough will be managed by our showrunners, Alex and Kate, and played through by Briana Jackson. Briana has just finished the main quest in the game and has not played the Curse of the Pharaohs expansion before, so will be going in blind with minimal exposure to the game content. She is looking forward to seeing zombified versions of everyone’s favourite (or at least some notable) pharaohs and visiting the ancient sites of Amarna, Thebes, and Hermopolis in Ubisoft’s rendition of the game - Tune in to see how well these versions hold up to historical fact, and to see how well Briana’s Assassin in-game can fend off hordes of mummies with little more than a poisoned axe and a bath towel!
