Educational Value of the Discovery Tour
The update will be available to all those who have already purchased the Odyssey game as well as separately as an educational standalone version of Odyssey, focused purely on the Discovery Tour if preferred for $20. Ubisoft introduced the Discovery Tour concept in 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins, opening that game’s ancient Egyptian map for educational exploration. This innovative mode allows players to explore historical settings without the pressure of combat or missions, making it an excellent tool for educators and history enthusiasts alike.
Once the Discovery Tour mode for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is installed, over 30 tours will be available to take, explaining more about the history of Ancient Greece. These tours are meticulously curated by historians and classical experts, ensuring that the information is both accurate and engaging. The tours cover a wide range of topics, from the daily life of ancient Greeks to the intricacies of their mythology and the significance of their architectural marvels.
Features and Benefits
The Discovery Tour mode is not just a passive experience; it is interactive and immersive. Players can engage with hundreds of educational points of interest scattered throughout the game world. These points of interest provide detailed information on various aspects of ancient Greek life, including politics, philosophy, art, and warfare. For example, players can learn about the democratic processes of Athens, the philosophical teachings of Socrates, and the artistic achievements of the Parthenon.
Moreover, the Discovery Tour mode includes quizzes and challenges that test players’ knowledge as they progress through the tours. This gamified approach to learning makes the educational content more engaging and memorable. It also allows players to track their progress and revisit areas of interest for further exploration.
The standalone version of the Discovery Tour is particularly beneficial for educational institutions. Schools and universities can use it as a teaching aid to supplement their history curriculum. The interactive nature of the mode makes it an excellent tool for engaging students and helping them visualize historical events and settings. Additionally, the mode’s accessibility on multiple platforms ensures that it can be easily integrated into various educational environments.
The Discovery Tour mode in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey offers a unique and enriching way to explore the history of Ancient Greece. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or simply a history enthusiast, this mode provides a wealth of information and an engaging way to learn about one of the most fascinating periods in human history. With its release on September 10th, 2019, it promises to be a valuable addition to the educational resources available to gamers and educators alike.
