Riding Across Egypt in Assassin's Creed Origins: Horseback Edition (Time Lapse)

Assassin's Creed Origins is a big departure for the series with an expanded world and new gameplay mechanic that focuses on RPG elements and more action instead of the tailing and stealth missions in previous games. Fans are divided, but everyone can agree that this is a beautiful game.

Set in Ancient Egypt, you play as Bayek, the last of the Medjay from the Ptolemaic Kingdom as he searches for the people responsible for the murder of his son. His wife, Aya, works with Cleopatra to take back the Ptolemaic Kingdom and investigate the mysterious masked men from the Order of Ancients.

Playing as Aya, I'm riding a horse across Egypt from one point(northwest) to the other (southeast). I believe this is the longest straight path of the map from the northwest to southeast. I avoid water since the horse riding animation ends. Note that horses slow down to half their top speed when they are near/inside towns or cities. A small section has me going through Cyrene so I slowed down the time to half speed as well. It's not really an accurate estimate, but I basically lose about 30 seconds. With Senu's flight speed, an unimpeded straight horse ride is probably faster.

I'm done.
