15 Awesome Ancient Egypt Games You Should Check Out (Released & Upcoming)
Ancient Egypt is basically a free space on the Game Dev Bingo card. It’s been around forever, right next to “Zombies” and “Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland.” And yet… I can’t get enough of it. There’s just something about the place. Millennia-old secrets, a curse for every occasion, and traps that would make Indiana Jones sweat. It’s the ultimate historical playground—a chance to punch a god, loot a tomb without getting arrested, and just generally mess with the space-time continuum.
The best Egypt games aren’t just reskinned action-adventures, either. They let you touch history—or at least a really cool, heavily-dramatized version of it. And who are we kidding? The vibe is everything. You can slap a mystical Egyptian atmosphere on anything and it gets instantly better. A city-builder? I want to manage grain silos on the Nile. A shooter?? Give me a giant statue of Anubis to use for cover.
And then you get to the mythology. The A-list celebrity gods with all their cosmic drama. That’s the good stuff. It promises so much more than clearing out another bandit camp.
Of course, not every trip to the desert is a winner. For every Assassin’s Creed Origins there’s a dozen games that just use the Great Pyramids as a fancy background JPEG, offering up a generic adventure that feels like it could’ve been set in Nebraska.
So, I’ve done the hard work for you. Dug through the sands of Steam, if you will. Below are the games that get it…
