''Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt'', however, was heavily criticized for intellectual dishonesty and deliberate historical revisionism and inaccuracy of Egyptian society of the time (as confirmed also by the "Behind The Scenes" narrator), showing an education system in which females in reality were typically excluded but in the game is instead gender mixed.<ref>https://multiplayer.it/notizie/195446-assassins-creed-origins-accuratezza-storica-contro-inclusivita-ubisoft-ha-scelto-di-cambiare-la-storia-per-evitare-il-sessismo-in-assassins-creed-origins.html</ref><ref>https://www.webtrek.it/2018/02/ubisoft-assassin-creed-origins-accuratezza-storica/</ref>
