Ubisoft's marketing team's had a lot of fun with the Assassin's Creed Odyssey ad campaign. It made a very dumb but funny ad for an Odyssey-themed Amazon Alexa, in which Alexios, the game's male protagonist, lives alongside a modern family. Well worth a watch.
And now the company's followed up with another video featuring Alexios, only this time, he's replying to comments. Again, it's a humorous ad, but it does feel like Ubisoft uses it to take a few quick jabs at internet cynics. All in good fun, of course.
One comment reads, "I miss the old Assassin's Creed." Alexios replies, "I will share you comments with our developers, who have been slaving away to make an incredible game for you. Just leave your name, address, and the number of spears you want in your abdomen." Yeah, Ubisoft's probably sick of hearing that one by now.
Another comment reads, "Alexios, tell us when Assassin's Creed Japan is coming out." Alexios spills the beans: "Let me tell you what I know about Assassin's Creed Japan... Nothing! There is no place more glorious than Sparta."
You know what? This guy's pretty good.

Ubisoft already left Spears in my abdomen by massacring the series in every way possible. Abandoning the actual AC series and making the name a shameless cash-cow? Check. Releasing a great game so broken no sees how great it is and leaves parts unnecessarily rough the edges? Check. Rushing out a title next year that lacks in many ways and obviously was changed to not be the last game and bring back vision instead of working on the technical of the game? Check.
The Japan is quite good though.
LOL... This ads is better than the game itself!
9.8/10
This is actually a really good and funny commercial 🤣
They should actually make AC Japan. It's the only setting that would make me come back to the series
@JoeBlogs Origins was excellent and I dont doubt Odyssey will be too but those games are NOT Assassin's Creed. Where are the assassins and templars? They didn't even exist back then.These games are only RPGs set in historical settings. Ubisoft is milking the name too much.
I'm not fussed. Black Flag and Origins didn't really feel like typical Assassin's Creed games but that never stopped me enjoying them. As long as there's always a stack of hay to eagle dive into then I consider it an Assassin's Creed game.
This is so sad...Alexios, play Despacito
@AFCC This is so sad...Alexios, play Despacito
@JoeBlogs
You can bet most of the same people who complain about this and origins and the same lot who complained every release of a creed game that its boring and stale it and it needed to.change!
Just another case of people just hating everything and those seeking attention.
For those saying there are no templers etc, remember the first game is called ORIGINS so we are find out how they came along also if they milking it, it's been going on for a long time, any game after three i would say is milking it.
I think people need to take a chill pill, if you don't care for assassins creed thats fine. But complaining after every little detail, just chill out a little bit. I really enjoyed origins and the fact that i can play as a female is fab
This is UBISOFT!!! Rarrghhh
they may be joking but Odyssey ISN'T a proper Assassin's Creed game, it's an action RPG and if it's anything like Origins then it's probably a pretty bland one too (the ONLY AC game i never finished)
the AC series has lost it's "soul"
i will admit it was a pretty funny video but is taking the piss out of your fanbase really the right thing to do?
@whywai88 oh really? can You explain why the game got positive reviews?
@YeYa can you guy's stop whining
You're all mad. Assassin's Creed was getting really, reeeeally stale. Syndicate was fine but that's all it was. I felt like Origins breathed some much needed life into the series and I think it's the best game yet overall.
I get the argument of "it's no longer Assassin's Creed" but I'm not really arsed if the game's good.
@ShogunRok origins is assassin's creed yes, but this one not so much since it's a prequel to the origin of the brotherhood!
But yeah I don't care either I just want to try the game lol
@ShogunRok
giving up long ago try to see any logic or common sense from gamers. as we both said it had been stale for sometime and origins fixed that, most of the changes are a huge positive, Ok it might not feel like a creed game to some with no templers etc but like others i found that the most dull and boring part of the games
@Undead22 Look dude, I played every single Assassins Creed game and I platinumed Origins and spent over 70h in the game and dlcs. Not to mention I will buy Odyssey and I am a big history buff. I am even very excited for Odyssey! I LOVED Origins and it was a great game but that is not Assassins Creed game. They needed to evolve the series and I get that but they strayed off the lore path too much and a lot of old fans left the series. I am not whining, I am stating the facts! These are great games but they are not good assassins creed games if you can process that.
@JoeBlogs They messed up the animus stuff too much and modern world story is just bad after they killed Desmond. I hope they will just ditch the modern day story in favour of historical one because it is obvious they dont know what to do with it. From what I have seen the only AC link are those artefacts like apple of Eden. Odyssey starts over 200 years prior to Origins which was about creating the Assassins order.
Funny video, but it has nothing to do with your title. You've used quotation for something no one said in the video.
yeah who cares if it's not your ps2 AC get ova it, we're basically getting another studios version of Witcher 3 so why complain
This game isn’t like Assassin’s Creed. Maybe that’s why I’m interested in it. To be honest I’ve not laid a finger on an AC since the every first game. I hated that game so much that I abandoned the series. Origins and Oddysey both look interesting enough to pull me back in.
"Alexios, why does an Assassin's Creed game not have assassins?"
"I don't know... why is Hippocrates not made of hippos? "
I laughed way too hard at that... and giggled on and off for like an hour afterwards... there's something about his delivery that makes it feel so much funnier to me than it actually is
@YeYa critics never complain anything about it and it is assassin's creed
@Undead22 I saw quite a few of reviewrs pointing out Odyssey is moving the series even more from its roots.
Loved the video it was hilarious, hope they do one with Kassandra too!
@YeYa then go play the previous ones then and be happy
All these complaints are by far the funniest I’ve come across. “No assassins? Running away from the AC lore? Excuse me? Has everyone not paid attention or even played this series!? I’ve put over 135 hours in Odyssey exploring. Not to mention that all the games were shown in Assassins Creed 2 in the Villa! Even Ancient Greece, end of story about Atlantis. The Isu Artifacts, the Cult of Kosmos, the Order of the Ancients (which if you’ve paid attention since day one, you’d realize this is the origins behind the Order. They even are the order from Assassins Creed Origins!). Everywhere I look it’s getting the franchise to be the bad people. GLAAD complained about heterosexual normalization in a time where GENDER IDENTITIES weren’t a thing. People complain about the feel, yes it’s different then blocking just being Y (for Xbox) they made it much more fluid of movement in a wide world. My only complaints are that Ubisoft has tucked their artistic tail between their legs and changing the DLC for a group of people that never played the series and think this game is like Mass Effect and Dragon Age where you make up the roll of your character. This game has a definitive role that you tag along for the ride in the drivers seat of your ancestors memories again. (Sounds like Assassins Creed) Not only to mention that the beginning of each game STATES this is a game created from s multicultural team and different gender identities. If the WHOLE TEAM didn’t think something should be in it, why the heck does a fascist group have to force a company out of Fear to change their product. BOOOOOOOO
@KidBoruto omg the video with the voice actors and Alexios throwing a fit he’s not Canon lol
@DarkJesterWC Yup indeed haha XD.
