Assassin's Creed Odyssey is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It is the eleventh major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and was released on October 5, 2018, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and later for Nintendo Switch (via cloud streaming in Japan) and Google Stadia.

Set in the year 431 BCE during the Peloponnesian War, the game tells a mythological history of ancient Greece. Players control a mercenary who can choose between two protagonists: Alexios or Kassandra, siblings descended from the legendary Spartan king Leonidas I. The game features a vast open world, including the Greek mainland, numerous islands, and the Aegean Sea, allowing players to explore cities, forests, mountains, and coastal areas.

Odyssey introduces more role-playing elements compared to previous Assassin's Creed titles, such as a dialogue wheel for conversations, branching quests, and multiple endings based on player choices. The gameplay includes combat, stealth, naval exploration, and interactions with historical figures like Socrates, Herodotus, and Pericles, though woven into a fictional narrative. The story revolves around the protagonist's journey to uncover their past, confront a secretive cult called the Cult of Kosmos, and deal with a larger threat tied to the mysterious First Civilization (an advanced ancient race central to the series' lore).

The game received generally positive reviews for its expansive world, engaging story, and character development, though some criticized its repetitive missions and microtransaction elements. It’s often praised for its visuals and the freedom it offers players to shape their own odyssey in a beautifully recreated ancient Greece.
