\nAt its E3 2018 event, publisher Ubisoft showed off its latest and greatest, including a sneak peek at the upcoming Assassin\u2019s Creed: Odyssey. During the show, Ubisoft not only ran a detailed gameplay preview, but provided some on-stage commentary detailing exactly what players can expect from this Ancient Greece-set action role-playing game.
\u201c Assassin\u2019s Creed: Odyssey is more than an adventure \u2014 it\u2019s truly a role-playing journey. You will explore, on land and sea, one of the most iconic periods in human history,\u201d said Jonathan Dumont, creative director at Ubisoft Montreal.
When the title of the game leaked earlier this year, we suspected it\u2019d be set in Ancient Greece, following on the heels of the previous game, Assassin\u2019s Creed: Origins, and sticking with the \u201cAncient World\u201d theme it established. It\u2019s important to point out that, as Kotaku reports, this game actually precedes Origins by about four centuries, taking place during the Peloponnesian War.
On the surface, the gameplay appears very similar, with a few shared icons, UI elements, and menus left over from Origins. That\u2019s not a bad thing, but Odyssey clearly boasts a number of improvements over Origins, most notably the choice players are given right at the beginning.
\u201cWe\u2019ve continued to transform AC into an epic RPG experience, shaped by your actions and choices. The first choice you\u2019ll make at the start of the game is to choose your character: Alexios, or Kassandra,\u201d Dumont saidd.
That\u2019s right, in Assassin\u2019s Creed: Odyssey, you\u2019ll be able to choose to play as one of two Spartan warriors, Alexios or Kassandra. In addition, Odyssey appears to borrow heavily from one of the most popular entries in the Assassin\u2019s Creed series: Black Flag.
Since the game is set in Ancient Greece, it only makes sense that you\u2019d spend a large portion of your time at sea, captaining a war ship in the glittering waters of the Aegean Sea. From what we can see in the trailer, it\u2019s clear that ship-to-ship combat is a big part of Odyssey, with significant portions of the game taking place amid the picturesque islands of Ancient Greece.
