So Ubisoft had their conference and it was filled with a lot of content. From my personal point of view, there were some very cool stuff (I’m excited to see Assassin’s Creed Odyssey) and some not so cool stuff (Just Dance 2019 just go away). So here’s the breakdown of what was announced.

In Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the action takes place in Ancient Greece, a world rich with myths and legend, in fifth century BC during the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens. Playing as Alexios or Kassandra, a mercenary of Spartan blood sentenced to death by their family, players will embark on an epic journey from a young outcast to a legendary hero and uncover the truth about their mysterious lineage.
