You can be a pretty epic over-the-top warrior or a down-to-earth Assassin if you wish. Jonathan Dumont: Since you select the abilities you want to use, you can adapt your playstyle to suit your level of realism. Everyone will experience modern day in their playthroughs and because of the narrative choices players can make in the game, there will be opportunities to experience more present day for players who want to.Ĭrazybeibifeit: Hi Jonathan! For us who prefer a more traditional and "realistic" Assassin's Creed experience, is it possible to avoid magical powers and NOT send enemies flying the distance of a football field when kicking them? Jonathan Dumont: Thanks for asking – glad to clear this up! Modern day is not optional. Can you possibly expand a little more on that? Many worry that by making the modern day optional, it will be skippable content that won't do much to move the storyline forward in a meaningful way. It looks like you guys have made the decision to make the modern day storyline in Assassin's Creed Odyssey optional to players. Protectbabysif: Hi Jonathan! Welcome to /r/assassinscreed. So we will share it soon! All physical copies of Assassin's Creed Odyssey will have reversible covers, featuring Alexios on one side and Kassandra on the other. Jonathan Dumont: It's like you read our minds! We were hoping to have it ready to show it today, but it still needs a little fine tuning.

Can this be done to PS4 game icons as well? And will there be avatars of Alexios and Kassandra available at or after the launch of the game? Rubensaurus: Many people are asking for reversible covers. Also, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a continuation of the modern day story from Layla, so players will pick-up right after Assassin's Creed Origins. So get ready to debate with Socrates! From a lore perspective, we wanted to tell the story of how First Civ artifacts created what would become the Templars vs Assassins story, which took place long before the Brotherhood. With our new dialogue system, players will be able to truly interact with history, which is something we're really excited about. In Assassin's Creed Odyssey players will visit ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War, meeting historical characters like Sokrates and Hippocrates. AC games are about experiencing a key moment in history, a place and time that were host to major historical events.
Can you speak to how Odyssey will fit into the universe as an Assassin's Creed game, as opposed to just a quasi-RPG with parkour movements in an historical setting?
I was a bit worried after watching the E3 gameplay trailer for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, as I didn't understand how this game could have any relation to the Assassin's Creed universe when the events seem to take place before the Assassins' inception in Origins. I've been a big fan of the franchise for some time, and have always particularly enjoyed how the Assassin's Creed universe turns historical events and settings we think we know into behind-the-scenes struggles between Assassins and Templars. Sejisoylam: Hi Jonathan! Thanks for coming to answer questions today. We also hired on a historical specialist of ancient Greece, Stéphanie-Anne Ruatta, who has been instrumental in helping us recreate ancient Greece, and who we run our decisions past to make sure they are as historically accurate as possible. We studied up on archaeological research and read ancient and contemporary authors of the classical period. Jonathan Dumont: We visited Greece to see the country first-hand, understand the topography and get a feel for the culture. Artschoolreject15: What source material did you look at when creating the game environment? Obviously some of the historical stuff is common knowledge, but what did you do in attempt to recreate the culture, formation of cities, etc?
