Ubisoft appears to be doing all it can to shout about the more diverse player options in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game allows you to select the gender of the main character for the first time in the series, as well as romance NPCs and choose from dialogue options throughout the adventure. In other words, it's going full RPG for its Greek outing.
Now, in a Q&A with the game's creative director, Jonathan Dumont, it's been revealed that you'll even be able to choose who stars on your game's cover art.
So far, we've only seen Alexios' version of the artwork, which will presumably be the default cover, but it's nice that Ubisoft is providing the option to have Kassandra front and centre if you prefer.
Who will you pick as your cover art hero, and moreover, who will you be playing as in Assassin's Creed Odyssey? Let us know what team you're on in the comments below.

Kassandra, the voice is better. The male one sound a little generic.
I don't plan to buy this but after seeing the previews, I really like what I saw, I think I'll take it day one. Assassin creed is officially rpg like the witcher 3 now
Kassandra because Alexios is a stupid name
Does it let me turn off all the obnoxious hints and tips?
The option to have Kassandra on the cover is nice, and I had already chosen to play as her.
Still haven’t beaten Origins...
The female voice is hands down better. I will be rolling with her.
you know what i don't like about this game is how if you want to know what the "canon" story is then you have to buy the novelisation, that's just a sucky move Ubisoft
if the game has a "canon" THEN PUT IT IN THE GAME, instead of a load of options it doesn't really need (even if as game play mechanics they can be fun) of course now we know who the canon character is i will have that on the cover just like i did with Mass Effect 3
Can we have Evie Frye please?
They should've done that for Detroit, one for Connor, one for Kara, and one for Markus. Tearaway Unfolded had a bunch of different covers too.
I like alexios better.definitely i will play as alexios.word up son
This might be the first Assassin's Creed that I'll buy since Black flag!
I always prefer playing as female characters, even in games like Bloodborne. So definitely going with Kassandra.
Um.......back to the topic I'm gonna play as Kassandra
I didn't know there was a video game here.
@LaNooch1978 I see. Thanks for clarifying.
@Octane Japan has that cover..
@RoyalD No, that one is terrible. I'm talking about three separate covers.
kassandra of course, well done ubi unlike quantic, they dont gave us kara cover (or cutie chloe)
Oh Jesus!
@Octane there is a reversible cover in a sense with all three of them
@Lekzie1 why even bring up quantic it was no big deal that there wasn’t a picture of Kara on the cover. I mean Markus wasn’t on the cover either should we make a fuss out of that and say it’s not fair to the other two characters who btw you could have had if you just reversed your sleeve.
@ dark_knightmare2 do I look im making a fuss out of it? is it forbidden to state my opinion? not a big deal? maybe for u but when they announce the cover is markus a lot of people reacted that kara should get a cover too specially on youtube even on the playstation channel.
@GraveLordXD @DLB3 Guys, this is not the place to discuss politics, if you want to discuss politics there are other places out there for that, here is not one of them.
Thank you for understanding
@NintendoFan4Lyf Next time instead of trying to take "jabs" at something just leave it out. If you want to comment on the article at hand that's fine, but to comment just to create a problem like you did will that's not ok, and it would be better if you just dont comment next time.
With that said keep the comments relevant to the article at hand. Next person that attempts to derail this comment section will receive a temp ban. I cleaned the article section up once I don't want to have to do it again.
Thanks for understanding
Phffssshhh ... cover art is sooo 2017. The issue is moot if you just buy digital.
@Th3solution
Maybe the topic might shift to the image you press X on to load the game? Which I believe is always the same image on the psn store you press X on in order to buy it. Can't see them doing multiple images for one game though.
What if I want to play as Ezio Auditore 😝
Kassandra for me.
I liked Kassandra better of the protagonists, but that's going to make romancing a bit weirder. So, I haven't decided yet. 😅
How is that picture not tloz 😂
"The game allows you to select a male or female protagonist for the first time in the series"
Actually you could pick between male/female in AC Syndicate. Anyway, it's Kassandra for me. After playing as the male lead for (most of) AC Origins playing as a woman in Odyssey will make a nice change.
But which way will it default O-o
Kassandra then.
Im a bit confused :
"The game allows you to select a male or female protagonist for the first time in the series"
Whats the different with The Fryes?
@Quintumply Does this mean I'll have to play the game twice to fully experience everything?
I may be wrong on this but I think the difference between Syndicate and Odyssey is that, in the former, you had to play as the guy for certain missions and vice versa, where in the latter you pick the gender of the main character and play the game entirely as your choice, Commander Shepard style. I’ll amend the article to make it a little clearer.
@ToddlerNaruto If you want to experience everything the game has to offer, then yes.
@Quintumply What are the major differences story wise between playing Alexios or Kassandra?
@ToddlerNaruto I don't think we know much about that yet, but I'd imagine the main story is near identical.
@Quintumply Okay thanks!
I always play as my own gender in action games(male), so obviously alexios will be my choice in this game.
