Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is the eleventh main installment in the Assassin's Creed series developed by Ubisoft.
The game was developed by Ubisoft Quebec, which had previously worked on Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. It uses a lot of the same graphical technology as Assassin's Creed: Origins.[2] The game was announced on May 31, 2018.[3]
The game's genetic memory story is set in 431 BCE, recounting the secret fictional history of the Peloponnesian War, fought between the city-states of ancient Greece. The protagonist is a mercenary (either Alexios or Kassandra) and can chose to fight for either Athens and the Delian League or Sparta and the Peloponnesian League. The modern day segments will again follow Layla Hassan, who was first introduced in Assassin's Creed Origins.[2] Her story will touch on the Isu.[2]
The game is said to deal with the themes of "freedom vs. order."[2]
The player takes control of a Spartan (Alexios/Kassandra) rejected by their family, making the journey from outcast mercenary to legendary hero, learning the truth about their past along the way.[4] Their family line was prophesised to bring doom to Sparta, which leads to the protagonist being thrown off a cliff. 17 years later, the protagonist resurfaces, discovering a conspiracy against their family.[2]
In the modern era, Hassan's quest to find Isu artifacts leads her to discover a book written by Herodotus. The book refers to a Spartan mercenary (Alexios/Kassandra) that came into contact with Isu artifacts, and may have even wielded one.[2]
Odyssey uses a lot of the gameplay and interface mechanics of Origins, including the radial compass, and the return of a bird that can survey the landscape, spot treasure, and highlight and harass enemies.
The game features feature RPG elements, including dialogue options, branching quests, multiple possible endings, romance options, and the ability to select between a male "Alexios" or female "Kassandra" protagonist. Reportedly, the game is a "full RPG," and will push the franchise into this genre. Both Alexios and Kassandra follow the same story. Romance options remain the same regardless of the character chosen. Gear can be selected, and is classified by rarity. Each piece of gear can be enhanced with engravings. Players also have access to a skill tree, and can follow a 'branch' to better suit their playstyle. Compared to Origins, the skill tree is more clear cut in Odyssey, and players can unlock high tier versions of pre-existing skills. In combat, the hitbox system for enemies is used again.
The game world has been described as the "biggest one yet" for the franchise. Environs range from forests, to mountains, to beaches. Players will have access to a boat, used in a similar manner as Black Flag and Rogue. Their ship is used over the Aegean Sea. Crew can be recruited, and in a sense, it serves as a mobile hub.
The Sparta-Athens divide is represented in-game—a red-blue line shows which city-states are under control of each power. If one city-state leader is weakened, other faction leaders will invade their state. Players can find themselves as the target of bounties. This can come about from killing civilians. Players will be hunted on the sea as well.[2]
Ubisoft announced several editions of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
