Ubisoft's support for Assassin's Creed Odyssey has been nothing short of phenomenal, and it's not stopping any time soon. The company has outlined what you can expect from the game in February, and honestly, it's sounding like a much bigger update than we were anticipating.
The highlights include the arrival of the much requested New Game Plus mode, an increase to the level cap -- boosting it from 70 to 99 -- and the addition of two new mercenary tiers. Odyssey is already a ridiculously huge package, but throw all this stuff into the mix and you've almost got a whole new dimension to the game.
It likely won't be long until Ubisoft gives this upcoming patch a date, so if you're still adventuring through ancient Greece, it'll be worth keeping your eyes open. Until then, let us know how many hours you've sunk into Odyssey in the comments section below.

you know i have to ask myself, why the hell was the level capped to begin with, it should have been 99 since day one
I've been playing regularly since launch day and never run out of things to do. My backlog is growing.
Excellent. I got the platinum the other day but I'm defo doing a new game plus with a very unforgiving Kassandra playthrough.
I'm 130+ hours in and 20 more fast travel points sounds great...
I still haven't even started this yet and not sure when I'm going to fit it in.
Almost finished my Claire B on Resi 2, on chapter 6 of RDR2. I have Shadow of Tomb Raider left half way through and the DLC for Spider-man to start. With the Division 2 and Days Gone probably jumping it in the queue there might be another Assassin's Creed game out by the time I get to it.
@BearsEatBeets The Divison 2 is going to destroy my backlog. I put 7 hours into the beta alone...
@Splat Yeah I did the same. The first was my 3rd most played game on PS4 according to that video thing a while ago. The sequel looks like it could end up surpassing it.
Definitely going to try and clear the games I mentioned before it hits.
@ApostateMage Nice platinum! Congrats.
@FullbringIchigo they could not set it at 99 on day one. there wasn't THAT much from missions. they want every mission's experience to be filled with purpose, and they don't want to set a cap extremely higher than area level maximum. as well as they needed time to set the higher rankings on the engravings to change with every 10th level up, and they needed time to test out a balanced set up for it as well. just like how they did not want to release new game plus day one because they need to plan out how the "legendary equipment duplicate" situation could be avoided. with ALL legendary equipment in the game [not counting store content] its almost 100. i think it reaches if not exceeding 100 so about 5 playthroughs [to new game++++] than their inventory, AND chest would be forced full with UNSELLABLE, and SALVAGEABLE equipment. they don't want to do that to everyone.
@DrKameren Ta kidda.
Needs sea monsters
@Sladey69 that would be pretty cool.
Even as just big lurking shadows in the sea with maybe a finn, tail or tentacle that pop up and rock your ship and maybe a comment from the crew. Just to put fear in you.
Yeah I'd love sea monsters, only to hear Barnabas freak out and say it's a sign from the Gods. I thought the mythical legends were really well done in Odyssey, especially Medusa, that fight was pretty darn good.
@ApostateMage @Sladey69 kraken would be awesome to fight!
@dibs1337 you know if they still needed to plan all that out and still needed to balance the game then maybe they shouldn't have released it so early
if a game is worth it people will wait until it's ready
Just getting back into this game after leaving it to play red dead. Was about 20 hours in and when I tried to come back I couldn’t click with it after the world of red dead. Thank god I didn’t trade it as I’ve really enjoyed playing the past few days. Great to see ubi still supporting it with new content
So excited for new game plus!!! I finished the entire base game within 3 weeks, totallying 122hrs play time, this was a complete map cleanse and maxed at level 50. And when the first DLC came out with level cap increase, it only brought me to level 52 and then I had nothing else to do...
Been waiting for this for so long, can finally carry my save over to a brand new playthrough... Hallelujah!!!!
@FullbringIchigo You say there shouldn’t be a level cap and then say it should be 99. 99 is still a level cap.
@christhomas251 what i meant is if they was always planing it to be 99 then why did they cap it in the first place?
