Sex & Nudity

  • Because the game is historical, there is a brothel in the game which show various obscure heiroglyphic drawings of random figures engaged in sex positions. This mission is optional, and is also not where the main portion of the quest is. Unless the player explores the brothel, these are not visible.
  • Inside the brothel, there are many revealing outfits, mostly men who are practically naked. If the player only intends on completing the quest, these people are not visible as they are on a lower level from the player. However, the player can go to that section of the brothel and see those people. There is also a women with no top clothing(shirt/bra), but their breasts cannot be seen unless the player intentionally goes into camera mode and scrolls to that location.
  • Women can sometimes, although rarely in game but commonly in brothels be skimply clothed It is however never intended to be sexualized and is shown because of historical accuracy since it was not uncommon to see women during the time period in which the game is set.
  • The word F**k is once used in a sexual context.
  • One mission takes players to a bath-house where male NPCs are seen shirtless in towels.
  • Bayek and Aya (the two main characters) share some intimate moments throughout the game. Some passionate kissing and implied sex, but nothing is shown. The two also appear in their undergarments in a few of the game's cutscenes, but nothing excessively revealing is shown. This is the only instance of "unnecessary" sexualization.
  • If the player explores the brothel moaning can be heard(no nudity).
  • A character says she will sleep with anyone if they agree to be executed the next morning. It quickly becomes obvious that she is drunk and most likely talking nonsense.
  • Certain statues, paintings, and artwork depict bare breasts, although not in a sexual manner. This mainly for historical accuracy.
  • Several characters make references and remarks about Bayek's wife, although they are meant in good taste and Bayek does not seem to take offense.
  • Even though there is some sexual content, traveling to these places is optional. During the main mission, the game will take you to place called Herakleion Nome in the northeast side of the map. Also in many villages in towns there is a small amount of scantily clad women, but this was normal in the time period in which the game was set. Most of the time in the game you will be too busy to notice these things because of the action and storyline.
  • Overall sexuality 4/10. Reasoning - Much of it is historical, such as statues, paintings and brothels. There is only one major sexual occurrence, which includes some kissing, and implied sex(lightly). Sex can only be inferred because the screen goes black, but nothing said actually implies that sexual acts occured.

Violence & Gore

  • Players use swords, knives, spears, axes, staffs and bow's to kill people and wild animals. Combat is violent and bloody and often resulting in brutal animations.
  • A headless corpse is seen once. the wound is graphically shown.
  • There are certain areas where corpses can be discovered in caves.
  • Sometimes, you will hear cries of pain throughout combat.
  • Players use bows to attack enemy characters and animals. One particular bow utilizes a slow motion arrow control camera that can help players perform precise shots.
  • Players can be set enemies on fire with arrows. This is not graphic and the fire quickly disappears. But there definitely is some injury detail.
  • The violence is similar to games like The Elder Scrolls games, Two Worlds or other medieval RPGs.
  • There is an option to turn off the blood.
  • The story revolves around cultural conflicts between the Egyptians and the Greeks.
  • Players are required to hunt and kill various kinds of animals in order to craft equipment from their skins. Certain animals, like crocodiles, hippos, and lions, will fight back after being attacked. Animals will sometimes also attack each other, such as hyenas preying on a herd of deer. Such interactions may also result in cries of pain.
  • A character says she will sleep with anyone if they agree to be executed the next morning. It quickly becomes obvious that she is drunk and most likely talking nonsense.
  • Bayek attempts to drown a man but he fails quickly.
  • The game is more like an RPG than an AC game.
  • A woman intentionally cuts her ring finger as part of a ritual (offscreen)
  • Caesar's death is depicted in the game.
  • Bayek stabs Eudoros with his hidden blade which results in the loss of his ring finger. Blood is shown.
  • 8,5/10 Because the violence shown in the game is realistic, bloody and relatively frequent.
  • There are decapitated and de-limbed bodies shown.
  • The game is very graphic and should be left to highschoolers. There is a lot of blood involved. However, gore is practically non existance with the most graphic instance being Bayek loosing his finger on accident. However, much of the gore is off screen, and no blood is actually seen despite the player being able to see the lack of a finger. Violence 8/10.

Profanity

  • Like previous games in the series, there is infrequent use of some strong language
  • Multiple uses of "fuck" in cutscenes and gameplay. About 10-15 uses of "shit". Mild use of other words like "damn", "bitch", etc. also 1 use of the c word
  • There is also a single use of the word c*nt.
  • The c word is said once during a side quest

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A bit of alcohol and no smoking, a character mentions an opium pipe.
  • During one mission, Bayek gets drunk and awakes the next morning hung over. He stumbles around while the screen blurs and moves in and out of focus, although this does not last long.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • More mature and historically accurate compared to previous games. The developers were willing to make the setting grittier.
  • There are various scenes that may be considered frightening.
  • The violence against animals could be upsetting to some.
  • Players can explore tombs and pyramids that can at times be a little intense. Players will frequently need to pass through dark and claustrophobic corridors and certain areas may also be infested with beetles or vipers.
  • Certain missions and free-roam encounters will lead players to come across mummies and corpses in various levels of decay, but with little detail shown.
  • If a player travels in the desert for a certain amount of time, the game will begin to give "hallucinations", such as mirages of a burning bush or giant beetles raining from the sky.
  • Some missions allow players to battle various Egyptian gods. These enemies tower at around fifty feet tall and portray the classic animal/human hybrid figures of Egyptian mythology, which could be a bit frightening to some.
  • The game's missions are about killing people.
  • Players with phobia of snakes may want to avoid to this game. While it's possible to avoid snakes, players who explore tombs will encounter cobras, and sometimes smashing jars will have a jump scare with a cobra inside of it.

Spoilers

  • The side mission which includes the brothel, only requires the player to be in the building for about three minutes. The player has to talk to a character (an old fighter), fight two enemies and can then leave.

Violence & Gore

  • A particularly disturbing cutscene shows the protagonist accidentaly killing his own son.
  • It is said that an important character was executed.

  • A side quest has you investigating a horrible stench that came from an extreme amount of poorly inbalmed mummies causing the bodies to rot. This sequence can be graphic.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
