5 Things We Already Know About ASSASSIN'S CREED: ODYSSEY

Fucking Walmart and Target leaking things early! Whoever or whatever is responsible for updating their websites needs to be stopped!

I love Ancient Greek culture so I’m loving this! If it’s including Bayek however chronologically this would mean it’s actually the beginning of the end for the Greek empire. The Romans begin to invade Greece and its other territories and Alexandria gets burned to the ground. This is far past the time of the likes of 300 or the Odyssey, so it’ll be interesting to see if they break history to match up with their needs or if it’s going to show the fall of Greece and the rise of Rome.

Given that Origins ended with the assassination of Gaius Julius Caesar and I believe showed Bayek’s ex wife giving Cleopatra the sap that would kill her as she and Mark Antony held off against Octavian (who would become Augustus Caesar and first Emporator of the Roman Empire), this game will have to take place in the volatile early years of the Roman Empire. Given that Greece was already conquered by Rome during this period I’m very excited to see what they’ll do with it. I loved how they showed the slowly increasing Roman forces in Origins across Egypt and Greece has so many beautiful ancient cities to explore. Of course the Spartans were pretty much useless by this point so, don’t get your hopes up about that. Very excited for this new chapter though. Also, this is wayyyyyy after the Trojan Wars sooo, no Troy but, probably lots of butts of all kinds!!

I know I’m alone here but I hope they do away with Origins’ combat system and go back to the combat of previous iterations. I also hope they do away entirely with status effects attached to weapons like swords and shit. Assassin’s Creed has always had a unique feel to me and that especially made Origins seem less like an AC game than just something to be lumped in with the mountain of RPGs.

feels when you still haven't finished all of origins yet :(

I can't wait for Assassin's Creed Odyssey on Switch, venture to New York City and parkour off of taxi cabs. Collect many ancient moon artifacts to uncover the conspiracy of the Lizard people.

Bare.boy.butt. Calling the fbi

If it's a sequel to Origins then there's no way it'll have anything to do with the Odyssey or the Persian War. Basic Chronology guys.

Jon =/= geography ... It's not like the Mediterranean Sea is particularly small... it's one of the seven seas of pirate fame too...

bare boy butt

How the hell is this a sequel to Origins when that game took place in the first century BC with the Roman Empire on the rise, yet what most people know of as "Ancient Greece" (including the Odyssey from which this takes its name) took place centuries before this?
