Fans of the popularAssassin’s Creedseries who have been long salivating for more information on the future of the franchise after the success of last year’sAssassin’s Creed Originshave finally gotten their wish after weeks of speculation following aleakfrom an unfinished Walmart page listing anAssassin’s Creedtitle set to be announced at E3 2018, where Ubisoft plans to satisfy gamers far and wide with all of their upcoming titles for this year and next.
Developer Ubisoft Montreal announcedAssassin’s Creed Odysseyon social media via theAssassin’s CreedTwitter page. The small snippet of footage features what appears to be a Spartan soldier kicking a Spartan officer off a cliffside followed by the titles of the game featuring a Spartan helmet, which confirms that the next installment in the series will indeed be set in Ancient Greece. This was long speculated by fans afterOriginsheavily implied a Grecian setting as much of the later missions of the game did involve Bayek coming to the aid of Greeks and Romans who were crossing the seas to Egypt. It would make sense that this would be the next step for Bayek and his recently established Brotherhood to expand to Grecian soil.
However, it is possible thatOdysseymay not be a direct follow-up toOriginsas originally believed. According to ananonymous sourceon 4chan, the game will be set during the Flavian Dynasty. This lessens the likelihood that Bayek would have an active role within the game and would serve as a minor character since the Flavian Dynasty had begun nearly a century after the events ofOrigins.Of course, that does not mean that he will not be referenced and won’t have appearances via flashbacks surrounding the Brotherhood’s rise in Greece.
Yes, these are leaks and rumors and as such they should be taken with a grain of salt, but it does make sense. It would be a smart move for Ubisoft to capitalize on the momentum and goodwill generated byOrigins,which sold 1.51 million units in it’s first week of release. The only problem with this announcement now is that it does contradict aprevious statementfrom the company in which they said that a newAssassin’s Creedtitle in 2018 would be unlikely and that they would stay committed to developing DLC for Origins. This begs the question about what role willOdysseyplay in the series? Will it be a large expansion forOrigins,that can function as a standalone?
All that we can do now is speculate until Ubisoft further elaborates onOdysseyduring their presentation at E3 on June 11th.
