Assassin's Creed Odyssey Discovery Tour Release Date Confirmed for Next Week

I'm looking forward to this. Ubisoft have created a beautiful version of the Greek Isles. A fond memory I have from the game was when I first got to Athens and just walked around the city taking in the sights.

@ApostateMage I had a genuine "wow" moment when I first saw Athens. I made my way up a nearby mountain to get a good look at where my quest marker was, and seeing the entire city just open out was actually quite breathtaking. For all the stick Ubisoft gets for its open world design, I think the worlds in Origins and Odyssey are stunning.

@ShogunRok Indeed. I'd go further back and say the 18th century Caribbean Islands of Black Flag and Victorian London of Syndicate were stunning worlds.

Yeah, I'm flying that Ubisoft flag, haters.

Ubisoft is one of the best world makers in the video game market. If they fix the grind mechanics and focus on creating better side-quests, the next AC has everything to be insanely great.

@ApostateMage well flying the assassin's creed flag. Ubisoft other open worlds aren't quite as impressive. Always lots to do sure but not many places that make you double take. Assassin's creed has been a looker and I think the fate of atlantis showed that they can also create beautiful new worlds aswel as making the old look beautiful

@Danloaded I beg to differ. I thought their Bolivian open world from GR Wildlands was also stunning and the snowy Manhattan from The Division could be mysteriously beautiful too.

@ShogunRok Question - can you just do the Discovery tour or does it only unlock after beating the main story in the game?

I don't really feel like playing the whole game but I wouldn't mind just walking around for a dozen or so hours taking in the sites. Library has the game so I can borrow it free for a week.

@Frigate Thanks, I'll pick it up when I return Skyrim next week.

I had so many "wow" moments too with this game and often stopped to take in the scenery..miss Kassandra...put so many hours in, but I don't think I can go back just for a discovery tour.

This game is more than likely going to end up in my top 5 games for this gen when all is said and done.

@ApostateMage I’d go further and say the worlds have always been rich and rewarding as much as hardware at the time would allow. Some level/task choices have left me frustrated but even the much hated 3 was a beautiful rich recreation of America. I’ll fly the flag with you.

@rjejr You access it from the main menu — it's totally separate from the core game.

@ApostateMage There are definitely some Ubisoft games I really don't like, but I always have to give them credit on the worlds they create. They always create stunning worlds imo.

@ApostateMage unfortunately I haven't played much wildlands as it seemed to crash quite a bit for me for some reason. I am looking forward to playing Watch Dogs Legion tho I think there's going to be some parts of London that will look gorgeous especially at night.

@ShogunRok Thanks. Might be time to clear out some HDD room.

You know what would be nice of them to do,but doubt they would do it? For those of us that are done playing the game,there should be a way to install just the discovery mode. After all the base game alone,without the expansion dlcs hogs up 71 gb. I really don't want my playstation taking up that much space just for only playing discovery mode.
