Post Launch Plans for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

If you’ve been following the website for a number of years now, you’ll know that I’m a huge Assassin’s Creed fan, and have been since the games original release. The last game in the franchise – Assassin’s Creed Origins – topped Black Flag as my favourite Assassin’s Creed title to date. With Odyssey on the horizon, Black Flag might tumble to #3 on my list! We already know how big the original game is going to be, but what about the post launch DLC plans? Today, Ubisoft unveiled them and we have all the details. Check out the information below!

On top of the season pass content, Ubisoft will also be providing a fair amount of free content for those with just the base game.
