Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Patch 1.1.4 Notes Revealed, New Game+ Out Today

A level cap increase, more Master Levels, and new Mercenary Tiers are also coming.

New Game+ will be officially arriving for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey later today. Ubisoft recently published notes for Patch 1.1.4, which will be 5.5 GB and 5.7 GB on Xbox One and PS4 respectively. PC players will only have to download a 4.7 GB update.

Those hankering to jump into New Game+ immediately must complete the Family quest line first. After that, you can start all over, but with all of your earned progression intact- from gear, mounts, and spear upgrades to abilities, currency, and crafting materials. It’s even possible to choose a different starting protagonist (so Alexios for New Game+ if you already had Kassandra for the previous playthrough).

The patch will also be adding support for “Bloodline”, the third and final episode of the Legacy of the First Blade DLC. Support for more Lost Tales of Greece for March “and beyond” has also been added. If that weren’t enough, the level cap will be raised to 99, with more Mastery Levels and two Mercenary tiers with rewards. Check out some of the patch notes below, or click through the link in the beginning of this report to get them in full.
