Grab your spear and sail into Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Ubisoft’s 2018 open-world masterpiece that stormed PS4, Xbox One, PC, and later Switch (via Japan’s cloud version) and Stadia on October 5, 2018. This isn’t just an Assassin’s Creed game—it’s a sprawling RPG odyssey that drops you into the sun-soaked chaos of the Peloponnesian War, 431 BCE. Pick your hero—Kassandra or Alexios, misthios (mercenary) siblings with Spartan blood—and carve your destiny across a Greece so massive it’ll take your breath away. With over 10 million copies sold, Odyssey is a mythic beast that keeps players hooked!
Explore a jaw-dropping map—Athens’ marble streets, Crete’s golden beaches, and volcanic isles—on foot or aboard your ship, the Adrestia. Clash with Athenian hoplites and Spartan elites using a revamped combat system: dodge, parry, and unleash Spartan Kicks that send foes flying off cliffs. Customize your gear—swords, bows, armor—with engravings, and spec into warrior, hunter, or assassin skill trees to dominate. Hunt mythical beasts like the Minotaur, sail into naval battles with trireme-smashing fury, or flirt, fight, and philosophize with legends like Socrates and Hippocrates. Choices matter—your dialogue shapes alliances, romances, and even the ending.
The story? A family torn apart, a cult pulling strings, and a First Civilization mystery that ties you to the series’ roots. The visuals are a Greek god’s dream—crystal seas, olive groves, and temples glowing under a Mediterranean sun. Expansions like Legacy of the First Blade and Fate of Atlantis fling you from Persian wars to mythic realms, while Discovery Mode turns the map into a history lesson. It’s not perfect—some grind for resources—but the scale and freedom are unmatched. Available across platforms, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a Homeric adventure that dares you to become legend. Draw your blade and dive into the myth!
