Game Overview:
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the eleventh main instalment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and is the earliest game in the series’ chronology so far. Taking place approximately 400 years before Origins, Odyssey will be set in the year 431 BCE in Ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War between the ancient city-states of Greece and Sparta.
Players will take on the role of a Spartan mercenary, either Alexios or Kassandra, the descendant of the legendary Spartan King Leonidas, and for the first time in series history, will get to determine the course of the game’s story through their own decisions.
