I think I might've misread and maybe the story isn't actually centered on the Exodus, just that the Exodus would feature in the narrative. Anyways, yes Akhenaten's reign was the period I was most interested in for an AC game set in Egypt for the obvious political turmoil that makes it perfect for the series. However, I'm still a bit concerned about where they might place the Exodus since the New Kingdom mostly controlled Canaan from 1400 BCE – 1200 BCE, meaning that the Hebrews would essentially be fleeing to what is still Egyptian territory under Egyptian administration. The Exodus would most likely have taken place in this period though if it did happen... the 12th century BCE would make more sense for it, during the New Kingdom's decline, perhaps just after Ramses II.
