Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a large open-world action RPG set during the Peloponnesian War in ancient Greece, where players take the role of the mercenary Alexios or Kassandra hunting a secretive cult and searching for family. Gameplay centers on melee and ranged combat against human enemies with heavy blood effects and occasional graphic cutscenes, alongside naval battles, exploration, hunting wildlife, and role-playing choices. It contains romance storylines with implied off-screen sex, dialogue about sex and prostitution, some nudity, wine and drinking, and strong language. Optional real-money purchases sell cosmetics, gear, and experience boosters. The game is single-player with no online chat or multiplayer.
The game frames the player as a self-interested mercenary who takes contracts from both sides of a war, presenting killing, theft, and assassination as routine survival and profit rather than as clearly condemned acts, while branching dialogue lets players choose more merciful or ruthless outcomes. Mythology and history are treated as an epic adventure, and mature elements like sex, war, and betrayal are woven into the story matter-of-factly.
