The prioritization of role-playing mechanics over traditional Assassin’s Creed elements also drew a mixed response from critics and players. Odyssey was a commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide by March 2020. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its gameplay, graphics, characters, role-playing elements, and world design, but was criticised for its overambitiousness, pacing, and the inclusion of microtransactions. Odyssey was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 5, 2018. The music of the game was composed by The Flight. Throughout the game’s development, the team was inspired by other contemporary RPG titles including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and Fallout. Compared with other games in the series, Odyssey has a larger focus on historical mythology, and a smaller focus on the conflict between the Assassins and Templars, which is the central narrative element present in most Assassin’s Creed games. Following in the footsteps of Origins, Odyssey facilitated the transition of Assassin’s Creed into a series of action role-playing games by introducing player choice mechanics. Players control a Spartan mercenary, who fights on both sides of the conflict, as they attempt to find their family and eliminate the mysterious Cult of Kosmos. Odyssey also continues the story arc of Layla Hassan, a major character introduced in Origins, who relives the mercenary’s memories through the Animus device as part of her efforts to locate a powerful artifact on behalf of the Assassin Brotherhood.ĭevelopment of the game commenced shortly following the release of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. It tells a mythological history of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 422 BC. The game’s setting, while fictional, is based on real-world events. Naval combat from previous titles in the series also plays a prominent role in Odyssey. Like its predecessor, the game features a large open world and adopts many elements from the role-playing genre, putting more emphasis on combat and exploration than stealth. It is the eleventh major installment in the Assassin’s Creed series and the successor to 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a 2018 action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft.
