Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders are doing okay, as you'd hope given Ubisoft just reaffirmed hopes for more Assassin's Creed-y things and live services in the futureFeb 14, 2025 - VG247Assassin's Creed Shadows pre-orders are performing solidly, according to Ubisoft. CEO Yves Guillemot has also said that, despite having not had the best last little bit, the publisher will be sticking to two very familiar types of games as its main focuses going forwards.

Both Assassin's Creed Origins and Valhalla have been patched to get around the game-breaking Microsoft operating system patch, but a fix for Odyssey is nowhere to be found. The Windows 11 update quickly made an array of Ubisoft's games unplayable, with the studio steadily deploying fixes to lessen the problem. Read the rest of the story...

When Ubisoft first took its flagship series in a more RPG-oriented direction I wasn't entirely sold on the prospect, but the Assassin's Creed take on the Aegean is unlike anything else I've ever played. It perfectly blends the twisted history, myth, sailing, and combat the Assassin's Creed games are known for, and you can grab it on Steam for its cheapest price yet. Read the rest of the story...

The oceans of Greece are filled with the floating corpses of Athenian warriors. The citizens in the streets of Boeotia cower and flee when they see me coming, for my hands are stained vibrant crimson. A legion of men and women have met my blade, and the end to the killing is not yet in sight. For I am Kassandra of Sparta; Misthios, Eagle-Bearer, the West Wind. And I bring chaos. Not that I actually seek out destruction and violence. In fact, I largely play Assassin's Creed Odyssey as a flirtatious and sassy mercenary of the people. Unfortunately, though, almost every decision I've made across 75 hours of Odyssey has led to spectacularly disastrous conclusions. And that's part of why I love it: rather than being an epic poem akin to its namesake, Assassin's Creed Odyssey is in fact an interactive Greek Tragedy. Without spoiling anything, let's just say I got the worst ending possible. There was a lot of blood, and Kassandra is going to be suffering for it for the rest of her (almost certainly miserable) existence. I'm the kind of player who will do everything they can to lock in the best finale so this was a big change of pace for me. Read the rest of the story...

Read more Assassin’s Creed Odyssey makes its hero's journey onto Game Pass todaySep 15, 2022 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunEpicly long action RPG Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is leaping onto Microsoft’s PC Game Pass subscription service today. The move was announced by surprise during this morning’s ID@Xbox stream at Tokyo Game Show, which I guess is appropriate for something to do with assassins. Odyssey’s predecessor Assassin’s Creed Origins was already plonked on to Microsoft’s subscription service in June this year. Read more Long-awaited 60 FPS patch may be on the way for Assassin’s Creed OriginsDec 21, 2021 - VG247During what Ubisoft calls Assassin’s Creed Day on Twitter, the official account announced the possible intent of adding the ability to play Assassin’s Creed Origins in 60 FPS, a feature that fans have been requesting for a while now. It’s unlikely that this would apply to last-gen consoles given how they work, meaning players would need a PS5 or an Xbox Series X/S to really benefit from it. Still, given how the following two entries in the series both can run at 60 FPS and Origins represents the new beginning point for the series, it’s only appropriate that Origins achieves technical parity. That way, players who want to get into the series don’t have to prepare for a technical downgrade. The Assassin’s Creed franchise keeps rolling on. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla keeps getting DLC, with the latest being the rather meaty Dawn of Ragnarok. Meanwhile, Assassin’s Creed Infinity, the ambitious live-service platform for the franchise, is still in its early development stages and won’t be free to play when it releases. Read more Assassin's Creed Odyssey update adds 60FPS support on Xbox Series X/S and PS5Aug 23, 2021 - VG247Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin's Creed Odyssey is set to get a new update on August 24 that allows the game to run in 60FPS on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – arguably the best game in the modern end of the series – is going to get even better on PlayStation 5 and new-gen Xbox consoles as of tomorrow. In a new tweet, Ubisoft has noted that the epic, open world RPG is going to get a new update that will allow it to run at a nice, smooth 60FPS on the new machines. "Missing Ancient Greece?" asks the tweet. "A new title update for Assassin's Creed Odyssey will be deployed on August 24, adding 60FPS support when running the game on Xbox Series X|S & PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility!" Ubisoft is expecting the update to land on August 24, 2021 at 8am CEST, 2 AM ET, 4 PM AEST, and 11 PM PDT (Aug 23).

Read more Here are the Assassin's Creed Odyssey system requirementsMay 15, 2021 - PCGamesNUbisoft has revealed the system requirements for the PC version of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and if you've played Origins it should be no surprise that things are looking pretty demanding. Recommended specs are pushing for some serious hardware power just to get to 30fps at 1080p. Ubisoft says "the PC version is not a port of the console versions of the game, but a tailored experience developed by a dedicated team at Ubisoft Kiev in close collaboration with Ubisoft Québec, the lead studio on Odyssey." You can expect several features not present in the PlayStation and Xbox versions, including benchmark tools, toggleable dynamic resolution rendering, and uncapped frame rates. Here are those requirements in full. Minimum Requirements (720p/30fps/low preset) OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only) CPU: AMD FX 6300 @ 3.8 GHz, Intel Core i5 2400 @ 3.1 GHz, Ryzen 3 - 1200 GPU: AMD Radeon R9 285 (2GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Memory: 8GB RAM Recommended Specification (1080p/30fps/high preset) OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only) CPU: AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz, Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.5 GHz, Ryzen 5 - 1400 GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290X (4GB VRAM or more with Shader Model 5.0) or better or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4GB) Memory: 8GB RAM Read the rest of the story...

(more…) Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Becomes the Highest Played in the Series with 33% More Players on Steam Than Last YearOct 8, 2018 - GitHypJust a few years ago, the Assassin’s Creed series seemed like it could be in big trouble.
Ubisoft’s annual releases, unnecessary remasters, and jarring technical issues resulted in backlash from fans, hilarious memes, and ultimately a huge decline in the franchise’s player base on Steam.
With less than a third of the amount of total players at their peaks, Assassin’s Creed Unity (2014), Rogue (2014), and Syndicate (2015) all failed to match Black Flag’s successful peak of 16k concurrent players back in 2013.
So, Ubisoft made the wise decision to not release a new Assassin’s Creed game in 2016. Instead, the developer took an extra year developing Assassin’s Creed: Origins, and their hard work paid off.
Last year’s new adventure, Origins, became the biggest in the series at the time, debuting at #10 on Steam's list of most played games with an impressive 41k concurrent players at its peak.
And this year’s follow-up, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, just shattered the franchise’s previous player count record, debuting at #6 on Steam with a peak of 62k concurrent players on Sunday – a 33% increase when compared to last year.
Thankfully, rather than repeating their previous mistakes of milking the franchise to death again with annual releases, Ubisoft has wisely already announced that they’ll be stepping away from the series in 2019.
Just like in 2016, their decision to spend more time on the next game (likely releasing some time in 2020) is a smart move that should keep the player base happy and ensure that reviews and feedback stay mostly positive.
