Assassin's Creed Odyssey Full Map Revealed, it's mostly Water

Assassin's Creed Odyssey full game map has been revealed with a picture of the entire map and all islands you can visit. Footage captured at Gamescom 2018.

[CyrusLemont]

The map is enormous, Origins was half of the size of Odyssey, so they filled traversal between islands with naval combat.

[Marcus Fenix]

"Origins was half of the size of Odyssey", really?, did they announce that?, coz origins was huuuuuuuuuuge, I've 100% almost everything in that game and it really took a lot of time & effort, planning to do the same with Odyssey.

[Smokehouse]

“The map will cover 130km² which is 62% bigger than AC Origin’s 80km². However, the land mass will be less than Origins as the majority of the map is sea.”

From the article. I like the look of the map. I’m actually pretty hyped about this one even though it has nothing to do with assassins.

@Smokehouse

Well the conflict over First Civilization artifacts predates either the Templars or Brotherhood, as any fan of the series should well know. Why do I really care if I'm playing a proto-assassin and doing all the same kinds of things I've always done in these games? Especially since it still takes place in the same universe and fleshes out more of the story of how things got to be how they are. It seems like such an insignificant thing to care about. Clearly the game offers the kind of world and gameplay that Assassin's Creed is known for. I think there's room to explore this aspect of Assassin's Creed lore and this time period. There will certainly be future Assassin's Creed games where you are back to playing an assassin from the Brotherhood.

I know you're still excited to play it so I guess on some level you agree with me.

[Sono421]

The same people who complain about yearly releases also get Assassin's creed and act like it is some golden exception from being a cash grab, sorry but no. Same game every year and you still buy it, congrats.

[S2Killinit]

Personally not that excited for this.

[3-4-5]

Origins was huge. I never finished the game but I was half like on lvl 30 and hadn't gone to half the places and hadn't finished more than half the activities and already played what was = to 4-5 AC games within just 50% of Origins.

And this is bigger? Origins was almost too big.

[KillZallthebeast]

Origins was huge and I never finished it. Spent like 60 hours dicking around though. Pretty good game.

[VenomUK]

‘Mostly water’ is said like a negative but that is what the Greek islands are! It’s also necessary for the seafaring element.

[ramiuk1]

origins was awesome,i loved it but yeah it was too big imo

[joab777]

God of War meets Origins meets Black Flag. That not so bad!!!! And after this they are taking two years for the next iteration. Ubi listened!!!

Too bad I’ll have no time. Loved Origins, though a bit hallow as far as rpgs go.

[bigmalky]

Hopefully a UK setting for the next. Would love to see Scotland in AC, but it's sadly overlooked in most games.

[wwinterj]

@bigmalky we have already had London with Syndicate.
@CyrusLemont Can't say I'm a big fan of the naval combat but I'm not worried about the land mass size either.

[smolinsk]

Only thing lacking is pirate settings 😉

[Crazyglues]

I'm still playing Origins... I'm no where near ready for this, but I like that it's a huge map, should make for a really good game hopefully... I will have to wait and see what the reviews are saying... Sorry but I don't trust Ubisoft much these days..

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

There's no Assassin's Creed next year so you'll have a lot of time to play Odyssey or you could just wait a while and pick it up at a discounted price. As you said, you're still playing Origins.

[Crazyglues]

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do pick it up later... if Reviews are real good...

Yeah maybe it's just me but I feel like I should finish this one first... even though they don't tie into each other, like you don't really need to finish this story to play that one...

[SamPao]

Well you should finish Origins.
And based on that experience you decide on Odyssey.

[ziggurcat]

IGN is going to hate it...

[DaFeelz]

They’ll just copy and paste their hate from another site.

[ziggurcat]

the site, as a whole, isn't to blame for that - it was one individual, and they fired him for it.

[DaFeelz]

I know. It was a joke

[MadLad]

Is IGN actually still even relevant today? What with all of the varying, strong personalities to be found on Youtube and elsewhere?

Pretty sure individuals such as ACG have a stronger voice nowadays than IGN as a whole.

[exposed]

Hahahahahhahahah

[Soap_Z]

IGN: 5/10 - Too much water

[Gardenia]

Looks almost like the real map of Greece

[Jrios355]

IGN is gonna hate this game ;p

[ufo8mycat]

Larger map means nothing if there is LESS LAND MASS and MOST of it is WATER.

[wwinterj]

You know you can actually do things above, on and under water right?

[badz149]

hopefully not anything like JC3! all those water and they are useless! no secrets, no treasure, wildlife like shark, collectables...nothing! it's just there for boat races but those too were limited to races very close to the shore.

[MrVux000]

*Flashbacks of IGN-s "7.8/10 Too much water" review*

[bluefox755]

I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. I haven't really gotten into an AC game in years, but this one looks right up my alley.

[RebelWAC]

Maybe Atlantis is somewhere to be discovered ;)

[SkippyPaccino]

I always find myself suckered by the Ubisoft marketing... When I finally play their games they always look pretty but are missing a soul. I'm not sure how rockstar can create a believable open World with soul, but Ubisoft has the tools to come so very close to a rockstar game but falter right at the end...

I'll definitely pick this up (during Christmas psn sales) but deep down I know I'll get that watchdog taste in my mouth.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Origins was amazing and was def believable.

[MrZweistein]

Of course it is mostly water. We are talking about Creece.

[BioNeo]

Too much water - IGN

[Master of Unlocking]

No city of Rhodes unfortunately. So no colossus of Rhodes. Not that I expected to see it come to life and chase me through the level and finally get inside it to terminate it once and for all and then mount pegasus to take it to the skies and... ahem, whatever.

[Seraphim]

Crete [Messarra on the AC Map] should be slightly further South. Seems they've just lumped in islands while pushing Crete North. They really should have done a better job to accurately depict the region. I know it's story is fiction based of History but the region should have been painted more precise. More specifically the Cyclades [islands] and Crete. This would have allowed more room for naval battles as well.

[Hungryalpaca]

IGN 7/10 too much water

[Kuma]

It even looks like Greece. "Molon Labe"

[TheColbertinator]

Yeah its the Greek islands. Islands like Crete and Cyprus all had economic/settler connections to the Greek homeland.

[toddybad]

I didn't really likes origins and thought it was way too big. And I've platinumed every AC game. Bigger doesn't mean better.

[Old_Prodigy]

Can't wait for the IGN reviews. Don't know which one i'm looking forward too more, the excess of water or the plagiarism.

[menghina]

Dunno about this one , maybe I wait until its dirt cheap. I still have to finish up Origins I left it half-way cuz of God of War and now I cannot play it anymore I find it so boring...

[Vknsnoob]

I am a huge fan of Ac, but no hidden blade, thats a kind of a bumer...

[Angelin]

Lesbos confirmed

[DVAcme]

I don't know why, but I find that headline immensely funny.

[SuperJay182]

I'm always skeptical of huge maps after Just Cause 3 - humongous map, mostly water and quite barren.
Hopefully AC won't suffer this problem.

[stupdifox]

Why is everyone referring to IGN and too much water?

[senorfartcushion]

Bigger is usually worse :D

[Angelin]

I got confused by the title. While accurate, it made me think that there’s little land to explore which is not true. Earth too is mostly water so i see no issue with it :)

[Jakens]

From the look of the Map alone, it looks beautiful. I really look forward to the exploring and gameplay.

If any one thing was improve from Orgins (great), it's great to play.

[Angelin]

Indeed it looks good in that screenshot

[jonivtec]

no more assassins creed for me….repetitive piece of crap.Im getting a little bored of Ubisoft project...they are all more of the same.It should exist more dev like cd project

[Blu3_Berry]

7.8 too much water - IGN

[NickAwesome]

The naval battles are my favorite thing so no problem for me!

[Lynx0207]

Lol. The map of Greece revealed, it is mostly water...
