If, like this author, you are one of the many people who plunged headlong into Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on the back of last week’s Valhalla hype, you’re probably wondering one thing: why the scandalous routine? One of the biggest criticisms of Ubisoft’s huge open world is that there are times when you can’t continue the story because you must level up your character and participate in general busy work to advance to the next plot.
The publisher’s next Viking adventure will not be like this. Speaking to Press Start Australia, Creative Director Ashraf Ismail explained: “Our goal is to let players play the content they want. So people want to focus on the narrative, no problem there. People want to focus on their solution, again, there is no problem there. It is up to the players to decide how they want to consume the content. That has always been our angle. “
One thing you’ll have to deal with is today’s content, as the most divisive element of the franchise will return again. “We have found a way to combine the present with a new type of player experience,” lead producer Julien Laferrière told Eurogamer.net. “And today is playable, I can confirm that.”
