Alexandria is the ancient Egyptian city that serves as the home of Cleopatra's palace in Assassin's Creed Origins.
Origins is set in Ptolemaic Egypt during the first century BCE. Alexandria is a major urban center in the game, combining Egyptian traditions with Greek and Mediterranean influences. Cleopatra uses the city as a political base while she contests power with her brother Ptolemy XIII.
The game follows Bayek of Siwa, a Medjay whose personal quest develops into the formation of the Hidden Ones, the organization that later becomes associated with the Assassin Brotherhood. Alexandria's library, harbor, streets, and palatial areas contribute to the game's depiction of the Hellenistic city.
Siwa is also important because it is Bayek's home, but it is an oasis settlement rather than Cleopatra's palace city. Memphis and Cyrene appear elsewhere in the game's large map and historical narrative. Origins was released in 2017.
