News Huge Assassin's Creed Odyssey Post-Launch Plans Feature Episodic Stories and Free Updates
Big fat Greek roadmap
As previously reported, Ubisoft has big plans for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The publisher is no stranger to strong post-launch support, but the upcoming open world outing is arguably its most ambitious endeavour yet. Okay, so Odyssey launches on the 5th October, and of course it'll have a season pass. Buying that gets you...

You're on your own
Ubisoft is trying something new with Assassin's Creed Odyssey, giving players a choice between two modes of play at the start of the game. One is 'Guided Mode', and the other is 'Exploration Mode'. Regardless of which mode you choose the actual content of the game doesn't change, but your journey through the open world may...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Trailer Goes All-In on Player Choice
The choice is yours
We were just wondering when we'd get a new Assassin's Creed Odyssey trailer, and now here we are. This latest video emphasises player choice, something that Ubisoft has really been pushing based on what we know about Odyssey so far. You can choose your character, your style of play, who you romance, which army you side with,...
News 24 Minutes of Assassin's Creed Odyssey Gameplay Isn't Quite Historically Accurate
Mythical creatures, anyone?
With Assassin's Creed Origins and its Curse of the Pharaohs expansion, Ubisoft let the dev team off its leash, and the result was one of the most creative, exciting adventures in the entire franchise. However, it was only an expansion and not a full game, unlike Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which is bringing hefty...
Gamescom 2018 Assassin's Creed Isn't Back on a Yearly Schedule, Says Ubisoft
Odyssey to be supported through 2019
With Assassin's Creed Odyssey following hot on the heels of Assassin's Creed Origins, many are worried that Ubisoft was bringing the series back to an annual release schedule after taking a year's break. The extra time clearly paid off for Origins, but is the publisher hoping to cash in on that success by pumping...
Gamescom 2018 Great Assassin's Creed Odyssey Trailers Ask Which Character You're Playing As
Live by the sword
Ubisoft has released a couple of pretty great trailers for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Both are cinematic, but they feature little cuts of gameplay here and there, while also showing off bits of the open world. The one we've embedded above focuses on Alexios, the game's playable male character, and the one below has Kassandra, the...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Has a Metal Gear Solid V-Style Recruitment System
Bag 'em
You know how in Metal Gear Solid V you can snag non-playable characters if you like the look of them? Adding them to your army back at base? Well you can kind of do that in Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well, as if the game didn't have enough to keep you occupied already. Much like The Phantom Pain, Odyssey populates the map with...
News The World of Assassin's Creed Odyssey Will Feature a Dynamic Ongoing War
Sparta vs. Athens
Yet more details on Assassin's Creed Odyssey have hit the web thanks to Game Informer's ongoing coverage, with a particular highlight being the game's dynamic war between Sparta and Athens. "The world is a moving chessboard, with 28 city-states," creative director Jonathan Dumont told the publication. Basically, you'll...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Won't Make You Grind Side Quests to Level Up
Lots of other stuff to do
We really liked Assassin's Creed Origins, going as far to say that it's just about the best game in the series, but a common criticism of last year's outing centred around its levelling system. Parts of its huge open world would be all but inaccessible due to high level enemies, and completing side quest after side quest...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Mercenary System Sounds Super Cool
The hunt begins
Remember the Phylakes in Assassin's Creed Origins? They were powerful enemies that would roam the map in an attempt to hunt protagonist Bayek down. Basically, they were optional bosses, and fighting them was a highlight of last year's game. This year, however, it seems as though Assassin's Creed Odyssey is taking the system and...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Will Continue the Modern Day Story of Origins
Sigh
We bloody love Assassin's Creed Origins here at Push Square, but those modern day segments were, in a word, awful -- and they're returning in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Okay, so the modern day story stuff made up about two per cent of the whole game, but they've always felt so unnecessary. One minute you're exploring this huge, lush world and...

We'll bang, OK?
For the first time ever, Assassin's Creed is getting romance options. If you didn't already know, dialogue options will play an important role in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, potentially allowing you to change the outcome of quests, branch the story, and, of course, form relationships with various characters. And where there are...
E3 2018 Assassin's Creed Odyssey Won't Give You a Game Over for Harming Innocents
About time
In every Assassin's Creed game up until now, harming enough innocent non-playable characters has resulted in you being 'desynced'. Essentially, this is a game over state -- you're taken out of the game and respawned. Now, we doubt most players attempt to go on regular killing sprees in Assassin's Creed titles, but if you happened to whack...
E3 2018 Assassin's Creed Odyssey Goes Full RPG, Looks a Lot Like Origins

Rather than making a new game
With the success and popularity of Assassin's Creed Origins, many have been wondering what Ubisoft's next move will be when it comes to the historical franchise.
