This is to be the 11th major Assassin’s Creed game and it is also going to be the first in the series to feature multiple endings. Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey will pick off from where Assassin’s Creed: Origins left off. The user will have the choice to be either Alexios or Kassandra, both of whom are the descendants of the Spartan King Leonidas. Odyssey, which is an open world RPG game like all other AC’s, will also allow users to customize gear and character alongside their abilities. The game will release across all platforms on 5 October 2018.

The game happens to be a sequel to Beyond Good & Evil which launched back in 2003 and though a trailer for it was shown at last year’s E3, there seems to be no word on when the game will actually launch. You will be able to play the game as a single player in the story mode and as co-op with friends in the multiplayer mode.
