Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will be available to play starting today on Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft confirmed. The announcement had been made on Thursday during Xbox’s Tokyo Game Show live stream. Now, console and PC subscribers can download and boot up Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and enjoy the epic Greek adventure.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey originally released on October 2018. Following its release, Odyssey received a major expansion called the Fate of Atlantis and the game also received support for a story creator mode. The story creator mode allowed for players to create their own quests and share them with the community.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey follows the life of a mercenary named Kassandra (or Alexios, the choice is yours) as she battles across Ancient Greece against an ever-growing cultist threat and grapples with a conflict between Athens and Sparta.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey also received 60 FPS support on the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility. Another DLC expansion was released recently, with a crossover story between Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
In other Assassin’s Creed news, Assassin’s Creed Mirage was announced during Ubisoft Forward alongside other future projects. Mirage will be releasing in 2023 and takes place in 9th Century Baghdad. Assassin’s Creed Mirage will see Basim and his time as an assassin in what has been described as a “special tribute to the first Assassin’s Creed.”
Additionally, Assassin’s Creed Infinity was spoken about, with two new games for it: Assassin’s Creed Red and Hexe. Red will take place in feudal Japan and is being worked on by Assassin’s Creed Odyssey studio Ubisoft Quebec with the same creative director. Hexe is yet to be announced.
There are also several mobile Assassin’s Creed projects coming up, with one confirmed to take place in Ancient China and is currently titled Codename Jade.
