Which 2017 Assassin’s Creed game introduced the Egyptian city of Alexandria as a major location?

Assassin’s Creed Origins introduced Alexandria as a major location in the series’ 2017 Egyptian adventure.

The game presents Alexandria during the Ptolemaic period, when Greek and Egyptian cultures, institutions, and religious traditions intersected. Players can explore important sites including the Great Library of Alexandria, the Pharos lighthouse, and the city’s coastal districts. The game also visits many other Egyptian regions, from desert settlements to the Nile Valley.

Origins follows Bayek of Siwa and Aya as they investigate a conspiracy that leads to the creation of the Hidden Ones, the historical precursor to the Assassin Brotherhood. Its setting helps explain why the franchise shifted toward a much larger open-world role-playing format.

Alexandria should not be confused with Athens, which is a major location in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, or England and Norway, the principal regions of Valhalla. Mirage instead focuses mainly on ninth-century Baghdad.
