Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Patch 1.0.7 Now Live, Patch Notes Revealed

The latest patch for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is out, and this one’s a doozy. It doesn’t just increase the level cap, improve the Photo Mode, provide more detailed Mercenary Benefits, and fix an issue plaguing Mercenary Live Events. It also introduces Visual Customization, a.k.a. Transmog, so you can customize your misthios however you want.

The patch is 2.2 GB on PC, 2.6 GB on Xbox One, and 2.5 GB on PS4. Along with all of the above, it brings support for “A Divine Intervention”, the second Lost Tale of Greece. The Smart Loot system has also been improved, so you’ll receive gear that’s more of your preferred playstyle. A number of different bug fixes have also been implemented – check the full patch notes here.

For a brief note on the most important changes, see below. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has its first DLC, Legacy of the First Blade, out next month, so there’s certainly no slowdown to the content just yet. How could the December update possibly top this? We’ll find out for ourselves in the next few weeks.
