Synopsis:
You don’t choose to be a hero. It’s your choices that make you one.
The latest instalment of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise - Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (launch on October 5th) – takes players on an epic journey in Ancient Greece, inviting them to forge their destiny. It is up to you – the player – to choose which of the many paths you will take through this rich world that constantly evolves around you. But as the Oracle of Delphi would say – be warned – each choice you take will have its consequences.
Alexios, descendant of the legendary spartan general Léonidas will have to make choices, if he wants to survive the violence, conspiracies and power struggles that are in full force 431 years BC.
Created by DDB Paris and directed by the directing collective TRAKTOR, the launch film of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is an homage to Trainspotting and its famous opening scene which takes apart the consumer society and the pressure it puts on the choices of individuals.
The words of Irvine Welsh and the iconic “Lust for Life” song by Iggy Pop lose none of their impact as they are transposed to the heart of Ancient Greece. On the contrary, they create a spectacular and explosive contrast, while remaining as relevant as always.
Welcome to 2427 before Trainspotting. Let us reassure all the die-hard fans: do not fret – there won’t be a washing machine, neither an electrical tin opener in the game, yet you will become a rebel who is 2427 before his time and who will go against what society, Gods and his own family tells him what to do.
