E3 2018: Assassin's Creed Odyssey Released October 5th
Ubisoft announced a new installment of the Assassin's Creed franchise, Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game will be released worldwide on October 5, 2018, on the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
For the last three years, the team at Ubisoft Quebec has been creating an exciting new chapter for the Assassin's Creed franchise. In Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the action takes place in Ancient Greece, a world rich with myths and legend, in fifth century BC during the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens. Playing as Alexios or Kassandra, a mercenary of Spartan blood sentenced to death by their family, players will embark on an epic journey from a young outcast to a legendary hero and uncover the truth about their mysterious First Civilization lineage.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is an ambitious action role-playing game that places choice at the center of the experience. An all-new interactive dialogue system empowers players to forge their own path and impact the game's world, characters and story to shape the future of Greece. Players will customize weapons and gear, master and equip new special abilities, and charge into massive battles between Sparta and Athens, pitting hundreds of soldiers against each other. The return of open-world naval combat allows players to seamlessly explore the open seas, customize their ship and recruit their own crew with unique perks. With the entire country of Greece to discover, from pristine beaches to vibrant cities, from the heights of snowy mountain peaks to the depths of the Aegean Sea, players will encounter Ancient Greece's famous figures and myths as they live their own odyssey.
Additionally, the Gold, Deluxe and Ultimate Editions of Assassin's Creed Odyssey were announced. The Gold Edition will include the base game, Season Pass, and allow players three days early access starting October 2. In the Deluxe Edition, gamers will receive the base game and the Deluxe Pack containing gear packs, naval pack and XP and Drachma boosts. The Ultimate Edition will include the base game, the Season Pass and the Deluxe Pack and will allow players to access the game three days early starting October 2.
Fans who pre-order will receive The Blind King, an additional mission in which a mysterious traveler proves to be much more than he appears once his past is revealed.

I mean, i guess i can get into it, but am i the only one who thinks these franchises are all made out of a commercial machine? Change setting, change a few things, wait a fiscal year, bam, new installment in the franchise. I remember the days where sequels had to impress us with something bigger and better, and there were many new IPs coming out. I liked ac2 because i was my first, i liked black flag because it was more than a ac game, it was a pirate adventure, but past that, i feel like ive played them all. Popcorn stuff really.

Well Origins was kind of a reboot for the series and I think very successful one. It's much like the previous AC 2-3 games, just way bigger and better done. I think this game has real potential to be the black flag on top of origins.
AC has its ups and downs but generally it's great series. Makes sense to keep pushing those games as it's very hard to come up with something better.
I think what generally ruins today's AAA games for some people are the ridiculous expectations set to them. And the expectations are aimed only to the big publishers. People went with something as buggy and simply broken game as pubg with quality which couldn't even dream of the quality of ME Andromeda. It's getting better now only because people supported it. If EA released it no matter who were the people actually making the game, the story would be quite different.
