We know that Assassin's Creed Odyssey was one of the games we were most looking forward to during today's Ubisoft E3 presser. And we were not disappointed. We started with a gorgeous cinematic showing off Ancient Greece as you've never seen it before and then were treated to a lengthy gameplay trailer.
Here's what we know so far about Odyssey:
- it's been in production for over 3 years
- you can take on the role of either Kassandra or Alexios
- you are the child of a legendary Greek hero, Leonidas, and carry his weapon
- the game is centered on being a roleplaying experience where player decisions matter
- interact with Ancient Greek luminaries such as Socrates
