Assassin's Creed: Odyssey

[eloic]

Well, guys, we have the first rumours about the next iteration in the saga. It seems that it could take place in Greece.

http://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/03/18/assassins-creed-2019-first-details/

As with any rumor, I would advise readers taking it with a pinch of salt; even one as well corroborated as this one. Having said that, the setting of Greece would chime with other murmurs I had heard from earlier on in the development of Assassin’s Creed Origins (previously codenamed Empire). In 2015, there had been suggestions from Ubisoft sources that Greece might appear in the game, but that Egypt would be the focus. Later, these same sources began to report that Greece would instead be saved for the game that would follow Origins.

When it comes to a possible next setting for this saga, I didn't think of a classical one, but now that I think of it, I think that it could be very original.

More evidence (maybe?). I finally changed the title of the thread. Bye-bye, moussaka.

I just want Assassin's Creed Ronin, or Assassin's Creed India

^I'm sure an AC game set in Asia will eventually come. Maybe the next one?

Perhaps another location on the med wasn't the best choice. It all looks a bit too familiar at the moment.

From the pictures I have seen so far it looks more like an Add-On.

Menu, mechanics, optics are very similar. Nevertheless, I'll wait and see.

Well, it's not like AC Brotherhood and Revelations were not succesful...

Revelation was tired and dull! Brotherhood had the whole 'look, Rome!" thing going on for me. The RPG thing in Odyssey look like it might make it interesting, despite it looking like Origins v1.5.

I've not played Assassin's Creed since Unity, which I thoroughly enjoyed enough to play it twice. I skipped Syndicate and Origins' setting just didn't appeal but Odyssey has crept up out of nowhere and is out on 5th October. Having watched a a few impressions videos, this game is appealing to me in a way Origins did not - Greece just appeals so much more than Egypt.

I think I'm in. Possibly even day one. Then I'll have three weeks to complete it before RDR2.

Oh dear.

edit: three weeks, not two.

Origins' setting just didn't appeal

Origin's Roman empire Egypt is actually a really good setting. I'd really recommend giving it a go, but it looks like they've copied it for Odyssey. Just without the pyrimids.

I agree, the setting didn't appeal to me at all from reveal to release, I'm just not that interested in Egyptian themes, but once the reviews and retail game impressions got out, I gave it a try and boy, was I wrong to almost pass the game up.
