For a full decade now, Ubisoft has used the Assassin's Creed series as an excuse to let players get all stabby with the likes of everything from Knights Templar and pirates to sans-culottes. Only now, apparently, it's realizing it can use these big-budget bestsellers to teach actual history.

A few months after the launch of the upcoming ancient Egyptian-themed Assassin's Creed Origins, players will get to download a separate, peaceful "Discovery Tour" mode that lets them wander about the streets of ancient Egypt without having to worry about outrunning guards or pickpocketing random passersby.
