The first chunk of DLC for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey had some first rate sufficient missions, however didn’t actually justify Ubisoft’s complete season cross. The second half – The Fate Of Atlantis – appears prefer it’s going to be a far extra attention-grabbing journey. Launching subsequent week, April 23rd, it jogs my memory a whole lot of the underworld-delving second growth for AC: Origins. It appears there’s a bit extra to Atlantis than being a watery little bit of Grecian real-estate with some glowy bits on – it would simply be a portal to the realm of the gods. Take a take a look at a few of its unbelievable vistas within the trailer beneath.
The Fate of Atlantis appears prefer it’s following intently within the steps of Origins’s glorious Curse Of The Pharaohs growth, taking gamers into the Grecian afterlife. There’s gods to fulfill, monsters to slay, and I’ve a intestine feeling that it might all be some form of huge holodeck simulation factor deep within the bowels of Atlantis. There’ll be some huge new environments to discover, beginning with Elysium itself, and a brand new set of abilities to be taught on this unusual new realm, named after the gods of the land. Ares Bull Charge, Might Of Artemis and Kronos Time Warp sound like enjoyable new toys to play with.
It feels like the brand new growth will take some time for brand spanking new gamers to achieve, requiring a degree 28 or greater character and completion of the story-ending quests Between Two Worlds and Heir Of Memories. Still, like its Origins counterpart, there’ll be an choice to skip straight to The Fate Of Atlantis with a degree 52 pre-equipped character, however you’ll in all probability be very misplaced, story-wise. I have to admit that I’m wanting to return to the game and see what they’ll do with the coaching wheels taken off. Historical Greece is all effectively and good, however no-holds-barred fantasy is much extra thrilling.
The first episode, Fields Of Elysium, launches subsequent week on Tuesday, April 23rd. The remaining two episodes, Torment Of Hades and Judgement Of Atlantis, will launch by “mid-2019”. It’ll be accessible as a part of the game’s £34/€40/$40 season pass (which incorporates Legacy Of The First Blade, Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered and Fate Of Atlantis) or bought individually at launch.
