This Month in Assassin’s Creed – August 2019 Update

This month we're excited to announce the release of Title Update 1.5.0, Story Creator Mode news, an all-new Lost Tale of Greece, the Ikaros character pack, and content updates for Assassin's Creed® Rebellion!

Without further ado, let's jump right in!

THE LOST TALES OF GREECE

An all-new Lost Tale of Greece, Old Flames Burn Brighter will be released in August.

Old Flames Burn Brighter

Your heart beats a little faster when you receive a note from someone you knew back on Kephallonia. Someone you thought you'd never see again. And it's more than just a note, it's an invitation! Take a horseback ride down memory lane as you reconnect with an old friend.

Old Flames Burn Brighter

Old Flames Burn Brighter will be available on August 6 and is free to all Assassin's Creed® Odyssey players.

To access all the Lost Tales of Greece, you need to reach Chapter 5 in the main path of Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

You can review the previously released Lost Tales of Greece in our July Monthly Update.

We haven't reached the end of the Lost Tales just yet. We'll see you in September for the next one. 😉

TITLE UPDATE 1.5.0

Later this month, we'll be deploying Title Update 1.5.0 and, along with addressing some in-game obstacles, the patch will prepare the game for the upcoming release of the Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece.

Stay tuned, we'll share more details about Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece in our September Update!

Story Creator Mode

It's been a whole two months since we released Story Creator Mode, the new feature for playing Stories lovingly crafted by your fellow community members, or for creating your own! Since the launch, we've introduced several updates including Elite NPCs, new NPC behaviors, objective grouping, generic NPC creation, and many more quality-of-life improvements.

And we didn't stop there! In August we will add even more features to the Story Creator Mode, including:

  • Inventory Starter/Objective: This will allow you to start a new quest using quest items as a condition. Same goes for the objective.
  • Patrol Behaviour: You asked, we listened. Patrol behaviour is coming!
  • Story Creator Mode Website Update: We're excited to announce that we'll be updating the website to allow you to:
    • Save Stories for later
    • Create and share playlists
    • Queue stories

Psst, we're also looking into adding dialogues between more than two characters. If our internal testing phase is successful, we'll aim to deploy this feature before the end of the month.

We are incredibly grateful for your continued feedback and support, keep it coming!
