Assassin’s Creed Odyssey screenshots leaked before E3

Screenshots of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey have leaked online, confirming suspicions that Ubisoft next entry into the series would be set in ancient Greece and support the theory that the player will take the role of a Spartan warrior. 

Ubisoft released a teaser for the game which showcases two Greek soldiers fighting at the edge of a cliff, with one kicking the other off in a 300-style fashion. The logo of the game features the standard Assassin’s Creed A-shape with what appears to be a Spartan helmet in the centre, with the name Odyssey being a reference to Homer’s Odyssey, a heroic epic about the legendary king Odysseus.

Recent rumours have suggested that Assassin’s Creed: Origins is the start of a new trilogy, one which will take players across Egypt, Greece and Rome, three of the major cultural powers of the ancient world.
