Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has slowly expanded with new side missions and mercenaries battles, and while those might have been welcome diversions, they were a little light on story. The game’s first DLC, Legacy of the First Blade, launched its debut episode today. It’s a solid addition to the game, bringing tough challenges, introspective writing, and welcome connections to the rest of the series.

You want to know the best reason for not pre-ordering games? Because they'll usually be half price within a month or so. The latest case in point: Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, which is loads of fun as is, is available around the country today for $39.

I am living the true modern gaming experience these days when I fill the empty moments during Assassin's Creed Odyssey load times by playing the mobile game Assassin's Creed Rebellion on my phone. I won't keep this up for long. Rebellion is too much of a Modern Mobile Game for my taste, but I've discovered I'm a sucker for its revival of some classic Assassin's Creed moves.

The comically large map of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, which players can spend well over 100 hours exploring without doing all of its quests and clearing all of its caves and forts, won’t expand outward with the game’s first expansion. That’s a change from how the series has handled downloadable add-ons in in the past.

If there’s anything I learned studying Classics at university, it’s that our respected ancient ancestors were total horndogs. That’s why I’m so happy Assassin’s Creed Odyssey embraces historical bonkery to the extent that it does.

Or should I say, endings.

I don't like getting lost in video games. I love to explore and find secret treasures in the depths of a virtual world, but I'm methodical about it. It's why I use the map in Metroid, and it's also why I only travel in straight lines in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Even when it makes no sense and results in a slower and more inconvenient journey.

When I'm playing through a massive open-world video game, sometimes the little tasks I do line up to create the perfect mini adventure. Maybe it's by design, maybe by accident. Regardless, when it happens, it's quite nice.

It’s been over a month since epic mercenaries were originally planned to arrive in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and the game has finally received its first one.

These unique battles, which grant special rewards and in-game currency, could be a chance to highlight Odyssey’s combat system and challenge players to adopt new tactics. Unfortunately, the first mercenary fails to live up to their epic pedigree.

Support for the Australian dollar is finally live. Some studios are still getting around to making their games available locally, but for the most part, prices and games have remained largely untouched.

But then everyone got to work, and very quietly, prices started going up.

If you've played Assassin's Creed Odyssey, then you know that the game has a particular love of a single, solitary cuss: maláka. It means something between "jerk" and "arsehole," and it apparently fits in nearly any situation. And now there's a supercut to show off the plenitude of the curse word.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has slowly expanded since release with live events and new monsters to fight. These activities and challenges give a sense of continued danger to the Grecian world, but a smattering of new quest has been the most surprising and exciting new additions.

Today on Highlight Reel we have Hitman 2 moments, bad drumming, falling horses, smokable beer, and much more!

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey continues to expand after the game’s release, offering new challenges and rewards for hearty mercenaries. The latest, a battle against a towering cyclops, could have been a tough and rewarding fight. Instead, it’s surprisingly mundane.

A tech animator at EA Motive, the studio behind Star Wars Battlefront II, has released a short video on Youtube highlighting the input lag in the recent AAA releases this year. This includes Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassins Creed: Odyssey, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and Destiny 2.

It’s been one month since Assassin’s Creed Odyssey released, allowing players around the world to live out their lifelong fantasies of fighting sharks and hunting down cultist.

Between discussions of microtransactions, cancelled live events, and new quests, the game continues to generation discussion and grow bigger with each passing day. Here’s what’s happened since release.

After a few failed attempts at Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Epic Mercenary Events, Ubisoft announced today that the event will be removed while they work out some issues.

I’ve kicked so many people to death in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Off hill tops, mountain ledges, and temple roofs. I can’t help myself. In this latest entrant in the stealth series about assassinating historical figures, stealth is no longer the most important skill, and assassination attacks no longer guarantee success.

So I’ve fallen back on Odyssey’s only guaranteed lethal manoeuvre: a perfectly planned stiff heel.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Red Dead Redemption 2 are both big open-world games, and they both came out in October of 2018. Both involve a hero on a horse riding around and murdering lots of people. The similarities end there.
