There’s a transparent delineation amongst those that observe Assassin’s Creed: individuals love the fashionable sci-fi trappings of the sequence, and people who need it gone utterly. Recent titles within the sequence have tremendously lowered the function the fashionable wrapper and the Animus performs within the story, nevertheless it’s nonetheless there – and the director of Odyssey nonetheless thinks it’s an essential a part of the sequence.
Asked if we nonetheless want the self-esteem of the Animus, sport director Scott Phillips says “I think it’s important to the overall, having two stories. I think it is important.” That’s not precisely an in-depth response, nevertheless it comes as a part of Game Informer’s common rapid-fire query sequence – that makes the solutions speedy, too.
Odyssey continues the modern-day story of Layla Hassan, as artistic director Jonathan Dumont instructed Kotaku again at E3. Layla’s quest for “First Civilization information leads her to discover one day a lost book, the lost book of Herodotus, the first historian.” That in flip leads her to Alexios or Kassandra, wielder of the superpowered Spear of Leonidas.
Whether Layla’s story is any extra participating within the new sport than it was in Origins received’t be clear till the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey release date, although it’ll apparently nonetheless be fairly non-compulsory. Hopefully it’ll have some extra substance this time round, particularly if the parents behind the sequence nonetheless imagine it’s an “important” a part of the story.
You can hear Phillips’ feedback on the animus at 1:22 within the video above. That similar interview additionally introduced us information of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s length (it’s very large), and the truth that there received’t be a Greek language choice. Expect lots extra particulars as we head into the sport’s launch this October.
