I played a long preview of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, and it gave me a good feel for what the massive new installment in the Assassin’s Creed series will bring.

The game debuts on the consoles and PC on October 5, but ahead of Gamescom, the big game event in Germany this week, Ubisoft is showing off a lot of the gameplay in hands-on sessions. We know of course that you can explore the open world of ancient Greece in this game, but in the latest demo I also found how you can participate in an extended story in Odyssey.
