Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – Legacy Of The First Blade

Continue your Greek adventure by discovering the story behind the Assassins’ hidden blade.

Departing from the DLC content plans of past Assassin’s Creed games, Odyssey’s is… well… more of an odyssey, we suppose. The continuing adventures of Kassandra/Alexios are episodic and much more sweeping, as the debut instalment of the first bit of DLC, Legacy Of The First Blade, proves.

In Hunted, the first of the three episodes that make up First Blade, your character’s Greek adventure continues as they meet the bearded Darius, who is destined to wield the first Assassin’s Hidden Bade. He is already on a quest of his own to fight “those who lust for power”, and reminds us of some of the traditional Assassins we’ve become familiar with throughout the series. Though, of course, Odyssey is set so early in the timeline that the concept of Assassins isn’t really properly established yet. That makes discovering more about the early history of the secret order all the more tantalising.

This initial episode sets everything up with plenty for you to do – as if Odyssey wasn’t already long enough! With new enemies to face, new characters to chat with, and new battles to conquer, there’s plenty more on the plate. The next two episodes are due out early in 2019. There’s a new story, The Fate Of Atlantis, to follow it. Assassin’s Creed 3 and Assassin’s Creed 3 Liberation remasters arrive in March 2019.

THE BEARDED DARIUS IS ALREADY ON A QUEST OF HIS OWN TO FIGHT ‘THOSE WHO LUST FOR POWER’.
