With Discovery Tour, though, they also reckon it’d also be helpful for students stuck at home to get themselves a light education in Ancient Greek or Egyptian history via their exhaustively-sprawling open worlds. “With millions of children experiencing upheaval to their studies right now, and teachers forced to adapt their lessons to digital tools, people are seeking new and enriching ways to learn,” brand director Etienne Allonier explained (via Polygon). “We’re really proud of the Discovery Tours and their capacity to make history accessible, immersive, and fun.” Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt are being given away over on the Ubisoft Store until next Thursday 21st.
