Ubisoft is offering up a brisk helping of Ancient Egyptian adventure for PC players this weekend, courtesy of its three-day-long Assassin's Creed Origins free play event starting Friday, 19th June.
Origins, if you've not yet had the pleasure, casts players as Bayek - one of the first Assassins in the series' sweeping, generations-spanning narrative - setting them off on an epic, and rather sandy, tale of vengeance across a sumptuous open-world recreation of Ancient Egypt.
It's a good 'un, of course, in large part thanks to that dazzling map, but it also shines thanks to its long-overdue finessing of the Assassin's Creed core, which impacted everything from combat to parkour and helped make the increasingly stale series feel relevant again.
