[LEAK] Assassin's Creed Odyssey

This sounds great, I loved Origins and hope to see more Bayek, but only if he comes with his beard. The representation of Greeks in Origins was great, but the variety of Egyptians/Romans/Greeks is what made it strong, I'd be wary of too much Greece if it was solely in Greece. Unless it's also a smaller game, because I was under the impression there'd be 2 years between AC games, and this is awfully quick.
The idea of a 3rd game in Ancient Rome would be enticing also - considering the end of Origins culminates at the same time as the Roman Republic, it'd be a great time to be in a tumultuous Rome as it transitions into the Roman Empire, although most of the hundreds of years after 50BC would also be tumultuous.

I mean, I don't think they are struggling for sales and revenue.
All of their GaaS games are bringing them in beucoup bucks, and if the Syndicate team was working on this they've had 3 years, and the only reason they were even created was to do AC games while Montreal experiments with new ideas.
If they feel the game is ready, then it doesn't make sense to just make them sit on it for no reason asides from "people on a message board are telling us that they don't care, when we will still sell a ton"
She definitely moved away from her initial motivation and is ready to give up her humanity for the "greater good". That's what distinguishes her from Bayek.
And that's what makes Bayek more charismatic but way less interesting.
It will be before the Flavian dynasty if Bayek is meant to be in the game. It will probably be set in around Cleopatra assassination
Ancient Greece? Odyesey?
I was super excited until I realized it's assassin's creed so we are probably not getting sirens Cyclops, minotuars. I mean sailing the Aegean sounds cool, but without giant sea serpents, I don't know.

I agree. The side quests were meaningless MMO fodder with no substantial effect to the world building.
If anything I wanted to see more of the main story and the dynamic between Bayek and Aya but the game gates you from streamlining the game, thus having to do the side content.
I've been following the leaks for this game, and one said dialogue was considered at one point but scrapped.
I hope thats not the case, but I do hope they change the camera. It made it hard to care about the side quests.
You fought gods in Origins.
Just let the protagonist take drugs and we're good to go on that God of War action.
It's promotional material that looks like a pre-order incentive in stores. It looks like an employee at a store saw it and wanted to tell the world. Nothing controlled about that.
They were talking about the 2 DLC that was released already this year.
Oh Crap you're right.
Bayek nooooo :(
Why Ubi. Why. Bets the new protagonist are generic sassy quippy badasses.
You may be down with it but the average consumer is over it. They knocked it out of the park when they took some time off and released Origins not only from a sales standpoint but a quality standpoint as well. Hopefully this an expansion or if not its pushed a bit out to maybe Mid 2019 just for quality concerns.
not his 1st, not likely his last, and every time it happens he goes full meltdown, argue/ insult everyone that calls him on, and block his accounts for whatever amount of time till people forget about it. rinse and repeat
So its during the roman conquest of greece?
Thats no fun :(
Also they shouldt call it odyssey in that case.
Have you played Origins? We fought a giant serpent, big scorpions, Gods and dead Pharaohs. It's a fantasy IP now.
Pretty sure they said they were working on more content after that.
No they didn't. It was the Internet not applying Occam's Razor.
Yves: "We're not ready to talk about the future and are focusing on supporting Origins with DLCs - the two of them yet to release -"
Gaming press: OMG MORE DLC COMING TO ORIGINS NO SEQUEL EVER.
That's LITERALLY what happened
Wildland's "target" system approach to story and world progression just doesn't work for other titles, especially Far Cry 5. I don't think it'll work well for Odessey either.
Building up liberation/resistance meters worsens narrative pacing and the ability of main/side stories to interact with the open world.
Far Cry 5's side missions were some of the weakest in the series, with thematic context for most of them being relegated to building up resistance against each of Joseph's lieutenants.
This specific approach to progression structure resembles the "unlock tower" trend Ubisoft let go of for the better.

Eh, I think it's too early to talk about quality since we haven't seen it yet. Previous yearly titles did get worse with each installment though so I guess we'll see.
The confusion mostly stemmed from "We're focusing on more DLC for Origins. We have some mindblowing announcements coming."
I think Yves didn't realize that they had actually announced what the content of expansion 2 was, and thus thought people were going to be surprised by the mythological setup.
