In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, players will take up the role of disgraced Spartan mercenary Kassandra or Alexios as they explore the world of Ancient Greece. For the first time in the series, Odyssey combines the dialogue options, player choice, and character customization of a fully-fledged RPG with open-world naval combat and all the fast-paced action and exploration Assassin's Creed is known for. The development team at Ubisoft Quebec has been hard at work to make Assassin's Creed Odyssey the most innovative and expansive Assassin's Creed yet, and we're documenting their efforts in a four-part video series, Behind the Odyssey.
Featuring interviews with the developers and a historian working on the game, Behind the Odyssey is designed to give players an intimate look at individual aspects of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Throughout the next four weeks, Behind the Odyssey will examine player choice, combat features and innovations, open-world navel combat and exploration, and re-creating Ancient Greece.
Behind the Odyssey's first episode, RPG Mechanics, will focus on how players can shape their journey. Find out how player choice and consequence was built into every aspect of the game from player dialogue to combat and naval gameplay. Will you play as Alexios or Kassandra? Who will you fight for? Who will you romance? In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, you get to decide how your story will unfold. Catch this and every episode of Behind the Odyssey Thursdays at 2PM PT on the Assassin's Creed Facebook channel or Fridays at 2PM PT on Ubisoft's YouTube channel.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey will be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 5. For more on the game, check out our previous Assassin's Creed Odyssey coverage.
