Summary

If history is the only true teacher, then Assassin's Creed could soon be the best school to learn about life in Ancient Egypt and how the crusaders crushed the enemies of the Latin Church.

With the Discovery Tour series, history is now front and centre.

Assassin's Creed Discovery Tour series: How it came about.

Dr. Dubé pioneered the Discovery Tour series project with Ubisoft, creating curriculum guides for teachers and students to relive the rich historical and cultural settings of the "Assassin's Creed" franchise.

"Through different game modes like guided tours and story-based quests, players can discover these areas at their own pace or embark on guided tours and stories by historians and experts," Sharma explains.

Since Ubisoft launched the Discovery Tour series for "Assassin's Creed: Origins," students like Xu and Sharma have contributed significantly to the success of this series.

"We do not know whether there will be more curriculum guides for the Discovery Tour series since the project is a collaboration between Ubisoft and Dr. Dubé's lab. There is also a limit on the projects we can take on as PhD students. For now, I can only hope for new possibilities."
