As expected from the Ubisoft conference, one of the biggest games showcased was none other than the next game in the Assassin's Creed franchise, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
I already made a Super Mario Odyssey joke, so let's just move on. Ubisoft also has some new info about the game's features, so I'll just let them tell you about it.
- Become a Legendary Spartan Hero: Embark on your journey from humble beginnings to living legend as Alexios or Kassandra. Customize your gear, upgrade your abilities, and personalize your ship on your path to becoming a Spartan hero.
