Assassin's Creed Odyssey is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It is the eleventh major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins. It was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on October 5, 2018, with a Stadia version launching alongside the service in 2019. Like its predecessor, the game features a large open world, and adopts elements from the role-playing genre, putting more emphasis on combat and exploration than stealth.

The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events, but unlike other games in the series, it doesn't focus on the conflict between the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order.[c] The main narrative is set in the years 431–422 BC and tells a mythological history of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. Players control a male or female mercenary (Ancient Greek: μίσθιος misthios) who fights on both sides of the conflict as they attempt to find their family. The modern-day portion of the story is set in the 21st century and continues from the events of Origins, as Layla Hassan, now an Assassin agent, searches for Atlantis and a powerful artifact it houses.

The game received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its gameplay, graphics, story, characters, and world design, while being criticised for feeling too ambitious. It was also a favorable commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide by March 2020. It was followed in November 2020 by Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which takes place in medieval England and Norway during the Viking expansion across Europe.

Gameplay[]

Similarly to Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey places more emphasis on role-playing elements than previous games in the series. The game contains dialogue options, branching quests and multiple endings.[3] The player is able to choose between siblings Alexios and Kassandra as to whom they use as the main character.[4] The game features a notoriety system in which mercenaries chase after the player if they commit crimes like killing or stealing in the presence of others.[5]

The player character is a Greek mercenary and a descendant of the Spartan king Leonidas I. They inherit his broken spear, which is forged into a blade to become a weapon that grants the player special abilities in combat. The game uses a skill tree system that allows the player to unlock new abilities.[6] The three skill trees are "hunter", which focuses on ranged attacks through the use of a bow & arrow, "warrior", which focuses on weapons-based combat (swords, spears, axes etc.), and "assassin", which focuses on stealth and silent take-downs. This replaces the system used in Origins, which granted the player a series of passive abilities.

The hitbox combat system introduced in Origins returns and is expanded upon to grant the player access to different special skills when the ability bar fills up. These skills include calling a rain of arrows and a powerful kick to knock opponents off-balance,[5] and are similar to the "Overpower" mechanic introduced in Origins that let the player use a powerful finishing move in combat. The game features a gear system in which each piece of armor the player wears has different statistics and provides a range of advantages.[7] These can be equipped and upgraded individually. The "eagle vision" mode, which was used by the franchise to give the player the ability to scout an area by highlighting enemies and objects, has been replaced by a golden eagle named Ikaros as a companion,[8] similar to Senu in Origins.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey features naval combat, first featured in Assassin's Creed III, with the player having access to Hellenistic-era warships to explore the Aegean Sea. The conflict between Athens and Sparta is represented through a "War System" which enables players to take contracts from mercenaries and participate in different large-scale battles against hostile factions. The war system can change a faction's influence over a region.[7]

The player can develop romantic relationships with non-playable characters of both genders, regardless of their own character's gender.[9][10] Creative director Jonathan Dumont commented that "since the story is choice-driven, we never force players in romantic situations they might not be comfortable with (...) I think this allows everybody to build the relationships they want, which I feel respects everybody’s roleplay style and desires."[11]

Story[]

Setting[]

The game's historical plot is set in 431–422 BCE, four centuries before the events of Assassin's Creed Origins and the creation of the Hidden Ones (the forerunners to the Assassin Brotherhood). It recounts a secret mythological history set during the Peloponnesian War, which was fought between the city-states of Greece. The player takes on the role of a mercenary and is able to fight for the Delian League, led by Athens, or the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta.[12] The game's main storyline has the player character attempting to restore their fractured family after they and their sibling were thrown off a cliff in their youth at the urging of the Pythia, also known as the Oracle of Delphi, and left for dead by their father. Parallel quest lines deal with the extirpation of a malign cult spanning the Greek world, and the discovery of artifacts and monsters from Atlantean times.

As with previous games in the series, Odyssey features a narrative set in the modern-day and follows Layla Hassan, an Egyptian-American Abstergo researcher turned Assassin who was introduced in Assassin's Creed Origins.[13]

The game features a number of historical personages players can encounter and talk to, including Alkibiades, Archidamus II, Aristophanes, Aspasia, Brasidas, Euripides, Kleon, Democritus, Herodotos, Hippokrates, Pausanias, Perikles, Phidias, Plato, Polykleitos, Praxilla, Pythagoras, Sokrates, Sophokles, Thespis and Xanthippe.[14][15][16] It includes historical and mythical Greek locations such as the Agora of Athens, Kephallonia, Ithaca, the Odeon of Athens, the Foloi oak forest, the statue of Zeus at Olympia, Naxos, Lesbos, ancient Athens, ancient Argolis, Pnyx,[17] Phokis, Macedonia and Mesara,[18][19] as well as takes on famous creatures from the Greek myths such as Medusa, the Cyclops, the Minotaur, and the Sphinx.

Plot[]

During the Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas leads the Spartan army against a Persian charge. The encounter is won, but Leonidas is informed by a captured enemy soldier that the Persian army has learned of the mountain path, and will surround the Spartans by morning. Nevertheless, Leonidas resolves to hold off the Persian advance.

In the present, Layla Hassan recovers the Spear of Leonidas and together with Victoria Bibeau, extracts from it the DNA of the siblings Kassandra and Alexios. With help from the Assassins, Layla picks one of the siblings and activates the Animus to find the location of the Staff of Hermes.

The Misthios started as a Spartan child, raised by their parents Nikolaos and Myrrine, and inherited the Spear of Leonidas as one of Leonidas' descendants. However, one day, both the Misthios and their sibling are thrown off a mountain due to an oracle's prophecy, with the Misthios being dropped by Nikolaos. The Misthios survived the fall and fled to the island of Kephallonia, where they grew up performing odd jobs until the Peloponnesian War begins.

The Misthios is approached by a wealthy man named Elpenor, who hires them to assassinate "The Wolf of Sparta". The Misthios later discovers that the Wolf is Nikolaos and confronts him. Nikolaos admits that he regrets his actions, but did so for the good of Sparta. The Misthios can execute or spare Nikolaos and discovers that Nikolaos is actually their stepfather and that Myrrine is in danger. The Misthios returns to Elpenor and confronts him. Elpenor reveals he knew Nikolaos was their stepfather and wanted him dead to drag out the war. He offers another job to assassinate Myrrine, but the Misthios refuses and Elpenor flees. The Misthios travels to Delphi to ask the Pythia for the whereabouts of Myrrine, where they encounter Herodotos, who recognizes the Spear of Leonidas. Upon meeting the Pythia, the Misthios is warned about the Cult of Kosmos, who seeks to kill them and their families. The Misthios investigates the Cult by assassinating Elpenor and using his disguise to infiltrate a Cult meeting. They find that the Cult plans to take advantage of the war to seize control of Greece and that their enforcer Deimos is the Misthios' sibling, brainwashed to follow the Cult's orders.

The Misthios journeys through Greece, clearing out Cult corruption from Sparta and Athens and befriending Greek figures such as Perikles and Aspasia. They are unable to stop Perikles' assassination by Deimos but reunite with Myrrine and find their true father, Pythagoras. Myrrine and Pythagoras explain that they conceived Alexios and Kassandra to preserve Leonidas' bloodline, as his descendants have a connection with Precursor artifacts, such as the Spear of Leonidas. Pythagoras tasks the Misthios to recover Precursor artifacts to permanently seal the hidden Precursor city of Atlantis, to prevent its knowledge from being misused by the Cult. Afterward, the Misthios avenges Perikles' death by assassinating his political rival, Kleon. Depending on the Misthios' actions, they can convince Deimos to abandon the Cult and rebuild their family with the remaining members living happily in their old family home.

With war averted and the Cult eliminated, the Misthios heads for the Cult's meeting place under the Temple of Delphi to destroy the Precursor pyramid the Cult was using to influence Greek politics. Touching it, they receive visions of future conflicts, before destroying it. Aspasia arrives and reveals that she was the original leader of the Cult. She thanks the Misthios for destroying it, as it had become corrupt. The Misthios can kill or spare Aspasia. After defeating monsters from Greek legend and collecting the artifacts needed to seal Atlantis, the Misthios activates a recording from the Precursor Aletheia who pleads with the Misthios and Layla that Precursor technology must be destroyed for humans to reach their potential. Pythagoras passes the Staff of Hermes on to the Misthios, dying in the process.

In the present, Layla uses the data from the Animus to find Atlantis and activate it with the help of fellow Assassins Victoria, Kiyoshi Takakura, and Alannah Ryan. As they analyze the data within, Layla finds the Misthios, kept alive by the Staff. The Misthios warns Layla that the world needs balance between the Assassins and Templar Order, and either side prevailing will result in the world's doom. The Misthios also explains that Layla is the prophesied one who will bring balance and gives her the Staff, and dies. Layla states that there is much of the Misthios' life they have not seen, and re-enters the Animus.

The Fate of Atlantis[]

This story arc focuses on Greek mythology, and follows the Misthios' quest to learn and unlock the full power of the Staff of Hermes Trismegistus and their hidden sixth sense. There are three episodes: "Fields of Elysium", "Torment of Hades" and "Judgement of Atlantis."

In "Fields of Elysium", the Misthios explores the Greek afterlife in the paradise of Elysium. There the Misthios meets Persephone, Adonis, Hermes, and Hecate, members of the Isu race known to humans as gods. Hermes helps the Misthios learn more about the Staff as a rebellion against Persephone's rule forms under Adonis' leadership. Meanwhile, Hecate plots an uprising to usurp Persephone. The Misthios and Hermes confront Hecate and Persephone. After an argument, Persephone leaves to deal with Adonis's rebellion. The Misthios joins the battle, and afterwards confronts Persephone with Hermes, requesting that she open the gateway to Hades, where the Misthios can learn more about the Staff. Persephone kills Hermes for his disobedience, and it is revealed that the key to Hades, an Atlantis artifact, has been concealed in the collar of Persephone's dog, Ros. Persephone opens the gateway to the Underworld and tosses the Misthios, Ros, and the Apple of Eden inside. Combined with the Apple of Eden, Ros becomes Cerberus, guardian of the Underworld.

In "Torment of Hades", the Misthios defeats Cerberus. Afterwards, they are approached by Hades, displeased at the death of his guardian. Rifts between Tartaros and the Underworld open, releasing souls confined to Tartaros back into the Underworld. The Misthios is tasked with finding a guardian for each of the four gateways to the Underworld. After recruiting Perseus, Achilles, Agamemnon and Heracles as guardians and helping Charon mitigate the chaos caused by the rifts, the Misthios confronts Hades and requests that he help them learn more about the Staff. Hades refuses, having actually intended them to be the guardian of a fifth gate. The Misthios fights Hades, but before they can defeat him, Poseidon appears through a portal and escorts the Misthios to Atlantis.

In “The Judgement of Atlantis”, the Misthios enters Atlantis with Poseidon, who agrees to help the Misthios unlock the potential of the Staff. Poseidon is worried about tensions between the Isu and humans in Atlantis. He appoints the Misthios as "Dikastes", his second-in-command. The Misthios is responsible for enforcing Poseidon's laws and keeping order, while also passing judgment on Atlantis. As the Misthios explores Atlantis, they learn that the Isu regularly disobey Poseidon's laws and commit crimes against humanity. The most egregious of which is "Project Olympos"— a genetic engineering program led by the Isu Juno and her husband Aita— which experiments on abducted human subjects, combining them with Isu artifacts to create hybrid beasts. After discovering the Project Olympos headquarters, the Misthios returns to Poseidon to pass judgment on Atlantis, but are interrupted by Juno and Aita, who reveal that their final creation, the Hekatonchires, is complete. The Misthios defeats the beast, returns to Poseidon, and declares Atlantis beyond saving. Using the artifacts recovered from Ros and the Hekatonchires, along with the fully activated Staff, Poseidon and the Misthios destroy Atlantis. The Misthios wakes up in the real world and is told by Aletheia that the memories experienced were Aletheia's memories during her time as Dikastes.

In the modern-day, Layla experiences these trials by order of Aletheia, so she could become the Staff's Keeper. After the rebellion in Elysium, she was pulled out by her physician Victoria, who fears what this is doing to her. As the two argue, an Abstergo strike team arrives, and Layla kills all but one, telling him to tell their boss Otso Berg that he lost. After helping Hades, Layla is again forced out by Victoria, who tries to take the Staff away. Layla retakes the Staff, accidentally killing Victoria, which angers Aletheia. Layla convinces her to give her another chance. After Atlantis' destruction, Layla is warned of an approaching Otso Berg. He wants the Staff for the Templar Order, but Layla refuses to give it up. They fight and she wins, crippling Berg and telling him the Templars have lost. Eventually, Layla restores communication with the Altair II and informs Alannah about the recent events.

Release[]

Prior to the game's appearance at E3 2018, Assassin's Creed Odyssey was leaked in May 2018 after the French site Jeuxvideo received a keychain containing the name Assassin's Creed Odyssey on it. Ubisoft announced Assassin's Creed Odyssey and its appearance at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2018 shortly thereafter.[20] A day before the Ubisoft E3 press conference, screenshots of the game were leaked by the gaming website Gematsu.[21][22] The game was released on October 5, 2018 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.[12] A Nintendo Switch version was announced during the Japanese September 2018 Nintendo Direct. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a cloud-based title on the Nintendo Switch, which launched on the same day as the other platforms, but in Japan only.[23]

The game's season pass includes two DLC stories spread across six episodes as well as remastered editions of Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed Liberation.[24] Two chapters of three episodes each were released to continue the narrative of the main story: Legacy of the First Blade[25] and The Fate of Atlantis.[26]

A story creator mode which allows players to create and share custom-made quests was released in June 2019. Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece, an educational mode that lets the player choose between free roaming the world of Ancient Greece to learn more about its history and daily life or embarking on guided tours curated by historians, was released in late 2019.[27]

Several special editions were released.[28][29]

On August 24, 2021, a patch was released for Xbox Series X and Series S and PlayStation 5 to allow the game to run up to 60 frames per second on the consoles.[30]

Reception[]

Assassin's Creed Odyssey received "generally favorable" from critics according to review aggregator Metacritic.[31][33][32]

EGMNow gave the game an 8.5/10, writing "Assassin's Creed Odyssey lives up to its namesake. By fully investing in becoming an action RPG, Odyssey's characters, combat, story, and scope are beyond anything the series has accomplished so far. Its ambitions might get the better of it sometimes, like in how it divides its story moments or in how the leveling system can get out of hand, but the overall experience is, simply put, epic."[34]

IGN praised the "world building, environment and engaging gameplay" and summed up its 9.2/10 review with "Assassin's Creed Odyssey's open-world adventure through ancient Greece is a gorgeous thrill, and the best the series has ever been."[38] GamesRadar+ gave it 5 out of 5 stars, praising the characters, open world setting and engrossing story, saying that it "perfects everything Origins did and enhances them in ways you never thought an Assassin's Creed game could. Odyssey has it all."[37]

In April 2020, Game Informer ranked the game as the third best in the Assassin's Creed series to date.[40]

Sales[]

Within the first two days on sale in Japan, the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed Odyssey sold 45,166 copies.[41] In the US the first week of sales were pacing better than any other title of the series on the current generation of consoles.[42] Ubisoft said that digital sales of the game were 45% of all sales, which was up by 10 percentage points over the previous year's Assassin's Creed Origins.[43] More than 10 million units of the game had been sold by March 2020.[44]
