Ubisoft have released two new videos for Assassin's Creed Odyssey, showcasing the dangers of the world, as the game is set in the middle of the Peloponnesian War.

As Alexios or Kassandra, players will encounter these myths firsthand, in the form of Legendary Animals and Mythical Creatures, while battling Mercenaries and defying the Cult of Kosmos. Mercenaries, skilled warriors, will hunt Alexios or Kassandra if they’re caught breaking the law. These tenacious enemies boast advanced combat techniques and abilities, wield valuable weapons and can be accompanied by predatory pets. They will relentlessly track the hero on land and sea as soon as a bounty is placed over their head.


The game will let players choose, for the first time, their gender at the beginning of the game and then enjoy the complete story as that character.

The game is set to release on October 5th for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
