Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is the eleventh main installment in the Assassin's Creed series developed by Ubisoft.
The game is set in Ancient Greece and will feature RPG elements, including dialogue options and the ability to
select between a male or female protagonist. The player takes control of a Spartan rejected by their family,
making the journey from outcast mercenary to legendary hero, learning the truth about their past along the way.
Both Alexios and Kassandra start the game as a mercenary and a descendant of the Spartan king Leonidas I.
They inherit his broken spear, which is forged into a blade to become a weapon that grants the player special
abilities in combat. The game uses a skill tree system that allows the player to unlock new abilities.
The three skill trees include "hunter", which improves player character's archery, "warrior" which puts
emphasis on combat and "assassin" which focuses on stealth. This replaces the system used in Origins, which
granted the player a series of passive abilities.
