Gorgeous because the Greek isles had been, it’s good see some contemporary surroundings, and in the present day’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey DLC, The Fields Of Elysium (episode one of many three-part Fate Of Atlantis) seems to be gorgeous, if a bit unsafe. Continuing the techno-mystical B-plot of the collection, it’s taking gamers into Atlantis, and from there into the Fields Of Elysium, the nicest place to be within the Greek afterlife. Expect impossibly steep cliffs, preening gods and the occasional teleporting statue-turned-turbo-guard. Below, Alice Liguori from our video crew takes a stab (nicely, many stabs) on the mythic new journey.
Today’s DLC – a part of the season go, or purchased individually – is meant for gamers who’ve wrapped up the primary story already, however provides an choice to skip forward and leap straight into the God Of War-lite antics. The overarching objective of this enlargement is dethroning the goddess Persephone. This includes weakening her grip on numerous cities and fortresses scattered across the inconceivable spires round you, much like the faction struggle stuff in the primary game. Fortunately you don’t need to climb each cliff due to a community of teleporters, however there are ample alternatives to Spartan Kick enemies off a mile-high ledge.
The earlier little bit of DLC for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Legacy Of The First Blade, was a pleasant appetiser, however actually didn’t do a lot to justify the steep price of the season go. On prime of getting an all-new and really spectacular surroundings, new enemies and new magical powers, Alice’s estimate was that the Fields Of Elysium (episode one in all three) takes round ten hours to finish. If reminiscence serves, that’s on par with your entire earlier enlargement. If the remaining two components of The Fate Of Atlantis are on the identical scale, this might transform a really massive enlargement certainly. Considering how large the equally mythological second enlargement for AC: Origins was, I’d not be stunned.
The Fate Of Atlantis is out now, and a part of Odyssey’s £34/€40/$40 season pass, or £21/€25/$25 separately. If you’ve been away for some time , take a look at Katharine’s refreshed guide to squeezing a consistent 60fps out of the game, no matter your PC could also be.
