Assassin's Creed Odyssey - The Fate of Atlantis

Ubisoft has some pretty significant content coming to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey this month with The Fate of Atlantis DLC. Episode 1 will be out on April 23rd, but before that, the development team has offered a closer look at what can be expected for the entire month. Check it out below (beware of spoilers for the main campaign).

One thing that’s immediately noticeable is the Staff of Hermes. The relationship that Kassandra/Alexios has with the staff will be deepened in The Fate of Atlantis, presenting new abilities (including a powered up form). Of course, the development team also discusses the new enemies, NPCs, and levels that players will be exploring as well.

New gear will also be coming to the cosmetic shop, but for those expecting free quests, The Lost Tales of Greece will return as well. This time, however, it’s a quest that helps set up The Fate of Atlantis. You’ll need to complete it and the critical path of the campaign to access Episode 1 of the DLC. However, a temporary save file will be provided to players if they wish to hop into the DLC immediately.
