Egypt, the Hellenic period is coming to an end. A medjay warrior called Bayek is swept into Egypt’s politics as he helps Cleopatra struggle for power. Welcome to adventures spanning from Ancient Egypt to the Cold War. Have you ever wondered, how real the worlds of contemporary console action-adventure games (A-AG) are? Many video games set in a historical period offer the promise of a world that feels real. The Assassin’s Creed games franchise, in particular, is known for using lots of archeological and historical research to create its content. The series host Harri Alanne plays a number of A-AG’s released in recent years together with historians who comment on the degree of realism in the games’ historical worlds and explain some of the concepts and phenomena that the player comes across. In this episode Egyptologist Mia Meri evaluates the historical aspects. The series offers a fresh new approach on factual historic programming and on historic research. Games have been selected together with Finnish A-AG enthusiasts. Liberal use of licensed gaming content in the episodes enrich the audio-visual storytelling. As a result, the series has locked in both the fans of console gaming and history programming. A follow-up season is planned for 2024.
