This. Is. Sparta!

With this newest release in the long running Assassin’s Creed series, the developers wanted a story that had never been done before– so, they let the players themselves create it. The combat is fluidly executed, the world is huge, rich, and diverse; and the path through it all is decided by you.

New Choice-Based World

You’re the author or your own Odyssey in the newest Assassin’s Creed title. The magic and mythical wonders of ancient Greece have been fully realized in a massive, detailed game world. It’s a world that you’ll get to make your own with over 30 hours of different dialogue choices that can permanently change the ending to the main quest.

Be the Hero You Were Born to Be

Fulfill your destiny as one of two playable characters in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey: Alexios or Kassandra. You grew up in Sparta, were trained in combat, and nurtured by a loving family. But, when your life comes crashing down around you , the support you had is gone, and your family turns their back on you.

Now it’s up to you to put the pieces of your life back together by mending a legendary broken spear– the spear of Leonidas– a powerful weapon that can unlock a secret about your past. Can you rise from your outcast status and forge a path to become a legendary Spartan hero? It’s in your blood, but it’s up to you to make the right choices.
