It appears that the next Assassin’s Creed game will be set in Ancient Greece, and according to a photo that allegedly depicts some early merchandise, it’ll appropriately be called Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
JuexVideo-Live today published a photo they say was taken by a reliable insider, and it depicts a miniature Corinthian helmet on a keychain, in a package with convincing-looking Assassin’s Creed Odyssey branding.
The helmet style, favored by Greek hoplites and mythologized later by the Romans, is an unmistakable symbol of the ancient Greeks, with legendary figures such as Achilles often depicted wearing one. It’s linked to the keyring itself by a string of squares (tiles, perhaps) that bear a distinctively Greek motif.
Here's our list of upcoming PC games to keep your eye on.
This seems like a pretty plausible direction for Assassin’s Creed to head in after taking us to Egypt’s Greco-Roman era in Assassin’s Creed Origins. The use of “Odyssey” as the title suggests a trip even further back into history, as Homer’s epics were set around the Battle of Troy the 12th Century BC, while Homer himself is estimated to have lived in the 8th Century BC.
This all lines up precisely with rumors we heard back in March, when comicbook.com reported they'd heard from several sources inside Ubisoft that the Assassin's Creed series was headed to Ancient Greece. If that's the case, Odyssey is an apt title, and it suggests - at least a little - that we might be in for more of the beloved ship combat featured in Black Flag.
