WAssassin's Creed Odyssey is a 2018 action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. It is the eleventh major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins.

It tells a mythological history of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 422 BC. Players control a male or female mercenary who fights on both sides of the war as they attempt to find their family and eliminate a mysterious organization known as the Cult of Kosmos. Odyssey also continues the story arc of Layla Hassan, a major character introduced in Origins, who relives the mercenary's memories through the Animus device as part of her efforts to locate a powerful artifact on behalf of the Assassin Brotherhood.
