Ubisoft are giving their studios a second to catch their breath after the launch of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in October. After debuting a brand new Odyssey trailer (under) at Gamescom, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot acknowledged that their focus for subsequent 12 months might be dwell help for the game. There’s no sequels, spinoffs or side-games deliberate for launch both, as reported by Gamespot. Probably for the very best, as in accordance with Odyssey director Scott Phillips (in a video interview with Game Informer), the brand new game might be “much longer” than the already large Assassin’s Creed Origins.
Of course, not releasing any new games doesn’t imply that there gained’t be something for followers of historic man-stabbery to chew on. Assassin’s Creed: Origins was a mechanical reboot for the collection, and adopted up by a historical tour mode, a sandbox cheat-mode and many extra smaller updates. Those who received the gold model or season move additionally acquired a smaller little bit of DLC, adopted up by a much larger expansion that dropped all pretence of historic accuracy in favour of diving into the afterlife to search out an undead pharaoh, including one other 15 or so hours to the game.
There are rumours abound (take this with a pinch of salt, however Eurogamer think so too), {that a} equally ahistorical enlargement is on the playing cards for Odyssey, taking gamers to Atlantis. Potentially sunken cities or not, you’re in all probability not going to be wanting issues to do. According to Guillemot, “when you get [Odyssey] this year, you’re going to get in for a couple of years”. It all seems like far an excessive amount of sneaking round, leaping off buildings and stabbing individuals than I’ll ever have the time for, however it does appear to be a strong illustration of what ‘games as a service’ seems like in motion.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey might be launching on October fifth for £50/60/$60, or a hefty £84/100/$100 for the Gold version. You can discover it on Steam, Humble and Ubisoft’s own store.
