Ubisoft+ Spotlight - Assassin's Creed Odyssey

(Editorial note: This is a series of quick weekly highlights written by Ubisoft News team writers that feature games available with a Ubisoft+ subscription. We hope you'll enjoy reminiscing with us, or perhaps discover something new.)

Brittany Spurlin, Writer/Editor: Before she was dealing with the Thirty Tyrants in Athens in Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, Kassandra was a misthios hunting down members of the Kult of Cosmos in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It's an adventure across Ancient Greece, filled with assassinations, naval combat, and Spartan kicks - not to mention legendary historical figures like Leonidas, Socrates, Plato, and more. The open world environment feels like every corner lets you step into a historical legend or myth, and whether it's a sunken treasure, cavernous shrine, or Olympian statue, there's always something to discover. As a mercenary, you can choose the path you take through the story, deciding whether to follow the main quest, help civilians through numerous side missions, or simply explore the world and experience Ancient Greece. Every decision you make, however, will have an impact on the world around you and the larger story - so think carefully as you craft your fate.

You can play Assassin's Creed Odyssey Ultimate Edition, which includes the Deluxe Pack and Season Pass, today with a Ubisoft+ subscription.
