Ubisoft have been pushing free games weekly as part of their “Play Your Part, Play at Home” campaign for a few weeks now. 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 (viaPolygon). “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 theUbisoft Storeuntil next Thursday 21st. Pick them up before then and they’re yours, for keeps.

Free history tours weren’t the only bit of Ubi news today. As industry analyst Daniel Ahmad reports from Ubisoft’s fiscal call earlier today, the publishers noted five triple-A games slated for the 2021 financial year (April 2020 ‘til March 2021) - including an unannounced title from one of their “biggest franchises”.
