Poll Is Assassin's Creed Odyssey One of the Best Games in the Series?
Do you agree with the reviews?
Assassin's Creed Odyssey has been out for about a week now on PlayStation 4. The open world title was met with high praise from critics, and Ubisoft has said that the game's already outperformed its current-gen predecessors. Safe to say that it's been looking good for the gigantic Greek adventure. As always, though,...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey PS4 Patch 1.0.4 Promises More Fixes
Only a little one
Ubisoft's committed to squashing bugs quickly with Assassin's Creed Odyssey, it seems. Another update has hit PlayStation 4, but this one only weighs in at around 160MB. Patch 1.0.4 promises more fixes and improvements to the game's stability. Again, Ubisoft says that "more detailed patch notes" are still in the works, and they'll...

And more players are reporting it
We've spent over 75 hours with Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and in all of that time, we've stumbled across a particularly nasty bug twice. Well, we call it a bug but we're not really sure what it is. All we know is that during two especially large fights in two especially large enemy camps, enemies started clipping...

A mercenary's work is never done

News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Sets New Series Sales Record
Well, that's the headline Ubisoft wants us to use
“Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has topped franchise sales records for the current generation*,” publisher Ubisoft has exclaimed in a press release. The caveat is that the organisation’s working off overall revenue rather than unit numbers – and it’s throwing players’ “recurring...

The odyssey continues
There's an update for Assassin's Creed Odyssey available to download now on PlayStation 4. Patch 1.0.3 weighs in at around 2GB, and promises "quality of life and usability improvement features". Yeah, we're not totally sure what that means, either. The update also "addresses various 'game breaking' issues that could happen in...
Guide Best Assassin's Creed Games Ranked
Blade runner
Ah, Assassin's Creed. The success of Ubisoft's massively popular open world series is partly responsible for pushing the publisher up near the very top of the industry food chain, where it now sits alongside the likes of EA and Activision. But as is the case with any long standing franchise, Creed has had its ups and downs. Some of its...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Players Hit with Weird PS4 Capture Gallery Bug
Videos and screenshots won't load
Well this is one of the weirdest bugs we've seen in quite some time.

News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Sales Down 26% from Origins At UK Retail
Tales from my Kass
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey sold 26 per cent fewer copies than its predecessor Assassin’s Creed Origins at UK retail, representing a downturn in physical sales for the series. It’s perhaps worth nothing that the title is releasing earlier in the year than Bayek’s Egyptian adventure, which deployed on 27th October, 2017. This...
Liam's loving the lack of stabilisers
The sheer existence of Assassin's Creed Odyssey's exploration mode feels like acceptance from French publisher Ubisoft. After a generation of games plagued by the "Ubisoft formula" of climbing towers to unlock new missions and locations, side activities that flood the map with icons, and sprawling skill trees,...
News Ubisoft Jokes About Assassin's Creed Odyssey Not Being a 'Proper Assassin's Creed Game'
Alexios isn't pleased
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...
News Ubisoft Boss Says It's Looking Into Bringing Multiplayer Back to Assassin's Creed
If the tech is there
The Assassin's Creed games had online multiplayer for a time, but it was eventually ditched somewhere along the line. It was quite an enjoyable way to play, with a spin on typical multiplayer modes that saw players hiding from, stalking, and assassinating each other. In a new interview with Game Informer, Ubisoft's chief...

Adventure awaits
What the heck is this? Ubisoft releasing a new video before 5PM here in the UK? Absolute madness.

You're on your own
Ubisoft is trying something new with Assassin's Creed Odyssey, giving players a choice between two modes of play at the start of the game. One is 'Guided Mode', and the other is 'Exploration Mode'. Regardless of which mode you choose the actual content of the game doesn't change, but your journey through the open world may...

News 24 Minutes of Assassin's Creed Odyssey Gameplay Isn't Quite Historically Accurate
Mythical creatures, anyone?
With Assassin's Creed Origins and its Curse of the Pharaohs expansion, Ubisoft let the dev team off its leash, and the result was one of the most creative, exciting adventures in the entire franchise. However, it was only an expansion and not a full game, unlike Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which is bringing hefty...
Gamescom 2018 Assassin's Creed Isn't Back on a Yearly Schedule, Says Ubisoft
Odyssey to be supported through 2019
With Assassin's Creed Odyssey following hot on the heels of Assassin's Creed Origins, many are worried that Ubisoft was bringing the series back to an annual release schedule after taking a year's break. The extra time clearly paid off for Origins, but is the publisher hoping to cash in on that success by pumping...
Gamescom 2018 Great Assassin's Creed Odyssey Trailers Ask Which Character You're Playing As
Live by the sword
Ubisoft has released a couple of pretty great trailers for Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

The one we've embedded above focuses on Alexios, the game's playable male character, and the one below has Kassandra, the...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Has a Metal Gear Solid V-Style Recruitment System
Bag 'em
You know how in Metal Gear Solid V you can snag non-playable characters if you like the look of them? Adding them to your army back at base? Well you can kind of do that in Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well, as if the game didn't have enough to keep you occupied already. Much like The Phantom Pain, Odyssey populates the map with...
News The World of Assassin's Creed Odyssey Will Feature a Dynamic Ongoing War
Sparta vs. Athens
Yet more details on Assassin's Creed Odyssey have hit the web thanks to Game Informer's ongoing coverage, with a particular highlight being the game's dynamic war between Sparta and Athens.

News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Won't Make You Grind Side Quests to Level Up
Lots of other stuff to do
We really liked Assassin's Creed Origins, going as far to say that it's just about the best game in the series, but a common criticism of last year's outing centred around its levelling system. Parts of its huge open world would be all but inaccessible due to high level enemies, and completing side quest after side quest...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Mercenary System Sounds Super Cool
The hunt begins
Remember the Phylakes in Assassin's Creed Origins? They were powerful enemies that would roam the map in an attempt to hunt protagonist Bayek down. Basically, they were optional bosses, and fighting them was a highlight of last year's game. This year, however, it seems as though Assassin's Creed Odyssey is taking the system and...
News Assassin's Creed Odyssey Will Continue the Modern Day Story of Origins
Sigh
We bloody love Assassin's Creed Origins here at Push Square, but those modern day segments were, in a word, awful -- and they're returning in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Okay, so the modern day story stuff made up about two per cent of the whole game, but they've always felt so unnecessary. One minute you're exploring this huge, lush world and...

For the first time ever, Assassin's Creed is getting romance options. If you didn't already know, dialogue options will play an important role in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, potentially allowing you to change the outcome of quests, branch the story, and, of course, form relationships with various characters. And where there are...
E3 2018 Assassin's Creed Odyssey Won't Give You a Game Over for Harming Innocents
About time
In every Assassin's Creed game up until now, harming enough innocent non-playable characters has resulted in you being 'desynced'. Essentially, this is a game over state -- you're taken out of the game and respawned. Now, we doubt most players attempt to go on regular killing sprees in Assassin's Creed titles, but if you happened to whack...
E3 2018 Assassin's Creed Odyssey Goes Full RPG, Looks a Lot Like Origins
