The background of "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" was set during the Peloponnese War in ancient Greece. The protagonist will also use the Spear of Leonida to fight against powerful enemies. Here is a look at the historical background of "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" shared by BOREDIE and the analysis of the Spear of Leonida, the Sacred Artifact of Eden.

At the just-concluded E3 exhibition, Ubisoft released a new Assassin's Creed work, a new promotional short film for Odyssey and a live demonstration. Each work of Assassin's Creed not only attracts many people in terms of gameplay, but also has a very attractive plot and worldview. Players can get a sense of history from the interactions between many scenes and characters, and this is even more so in the Odyssey. In addition, this time Assassin's Creed is no longer the usual Montreal production, but has been replaced by Quebec, which previously produced the hero. Although some things cannot be asserted, the two games have some similarities in the settings.

Odyssey

First, let’s briefly talk about the subtitle of “Odyssey”. "Odyssey" is an epic created by Homer, set in the background of a series of stories surrounding Odysseus at sea after the end of the Trojan War. "Odyssey" is the world's first nautical novel, and this reflects a change in Assassin's Creed, that is, the return of the naval warfare. In addition, the story in "Odyssey" also contains many myths. Odysseus will encounter many events related to the Greek gods in the story. In Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, there is a passage in the new short film, "you are sent by the gods to protect this world." Later, when the official speech also said, "This land shaped by the god." Therefore, I think the characters in Greek mythology in Assassin's Creed this time will inevitably be part of the game, and some other related details will be discussed later. In addition, the male protagonist in the promotional film also said, "As you write your Odysseia, across the mountains and the sea, remember the fate of Greece journeys with you (When you cross the mountains and the sea, remember the fate of Greece journeys with you (When you cross the mountains and the mountains and the sea, remember the fate of Greece journeys with you (When you cross the mountains and the mountains and the seas, remember the fate of Greece journeys with you (When you cross the mountains and the mountains and the seas, remember the fate of Greece journeys with you (When you cross the mountains and the mountains and the seas), this sentence can also show the grandeur of this story. Crossing mountains and seas can also explain the journey on land and on seas, and finally echoes the background of the Odyssey, the Peloponnese War.

Historical Background

The Odyssey background was set in 431 BC, which was also the year when the Peloponnese War began. The Peloponnese War broke out 17 years after the Hippola WarIt was due to the dissatisfaction of many Greek city-states with the Deluxe Alliance led by Athens, because Athens served as a crucial member in the Hippolar War. In addition, the early development of Athens made its powerful position in the Greek city-states almost unshakable. Because of this, when the Persians were repelled, Athens began to exploit the city-states in the alliance and sent troops to control their regime and wealth. Under this oppression, Sparta, as an old opponent of Athens, relied on this emotion to win over the Greek states and formed the Peloponnese alliance to fight Athens. The protagonist of this game is from Sparta, and they are both children of Spartan king Leonida. This is a bit like the setting of a hero, but in the Odyssey, the player needs to choose his own character at the beginning, and the chosen character will be the protagonist in the subsequent story. It is rumored that the other will be thrown off the cliff and become the subsequent villain. During the game, players cannot switch the protagonist. There is news that the game will begin to experience the Battle of Hot Springs. As one of the most legendary battles in the Hippola War and even in history, the 300 Spartan warriors were led by Leonida to resist the offensive of the Persian army, and players can control Leonida to play.

Leonida's Spear

For Leonida, the promotional video mentioned the Leonida spear many times. This weapon was obtained by the male protagonist when he was a teenager, but he only had a part of it left, not a complete spear. Through the short video, it can be seen that this weapon will accompany him for a long time, and it also has powerful power and will shine when used. Then think about what is the most important thing in the history of Assassin's Creed, the most important thing is the fragments of Eden, apples, holy swords, shrouds, skulls, scepters, keys, etc. The above objects all appear in the series, but the Spear of Destiny and the Gun of Langinus should have not been directly involved. The most famous event is the puncture of Jesus. Also, the official speech also called it "Mysterious weapon" In addition, the weapon used by the heroine during the demonstration (standard Greek sword) can shine like the Leonida spear, although it may be just the protagonist's halo or the special effect of sharpening the knife, but it may be the Holy Sword. There is a problem with this point. When the Holy Sword appeared during the Great Revolution, it was a heavy sword. According to its experience, it was used by the Damao King and also by Zhenritian, so it must have come from the moon. It is not surprising that King Daimao and Zhen Ritian used heavy swords, but the holy sword was also used by Attila (yes, the holy sword is the moon’s hahaha) and Genghis Khan. These two people are not people who like to use swords, on the contrary, swords are their preferences. In addition, the holy sword also appeared in Japan and was used by the Sixth Day... The devil king Nobunaga, so this is another problem. Nobunaga used Japanese swords, which are different from the scimitars of Mongolian or the Huns, and are also different from the heavy swords of Europe. Japanese swords such as Taidao, Knife, etc. do not belong to any of the above categories, and these weapons were rare during the Warring States Period. PlaceIn other words, is there a setting for changing the form of the Sacred Sword of Eden? If so, what is the heroine holding in her hand... At the same time, back to the official mentioned above, mentioning God many times, plus the sub-mark "Odyssey", will the Greek gods be the microcosm left by the First Civilization? Miracles may be the equipment left by the First Civilization, and will the birth of Greek myth also be created by the remaining images of the First Civilization influence the Greeks? Of course, these are just brains now.

Greek Myth

Let’s talk about the aspect of God again. After the real-time demonstration in E3, there was another CG. At the end, a bull head and a very low breathing sound appeared. So is this the calves Minotaonos? As a popular story in Greek mythology, Minotao, as the terrifying tauren in the maze, may be set as a boss for players to guide, but the question arises again. Minotao appeared in the Cretan civilization period, in the maze of Knossos, and had long been attacked. So how would it appear during it? In addition, there is also a woman's face, and a snake is moving on her hair. So combined with Greek civilization, it goes without saying that she knows who this is. Yes, you guessed it right, she is Sister R. In the setting, Medusa was killed by Perseus with the Holy Sword of Eden, marking the key point, the Holy Sword of Eden, yes.

Others

Finally, let’s talk about other things about the new work. This time, Odyssey has a role choice and options in the dialogue, so there will be many endings. At the same time, the combat system is similar to before, and the level system is roughly the same as the origin. The player will also have an eagle, whose name is quite local, called Icarus (don't worry, the eagle will not burn its wings). The landscape of the Odyssey must be very outstanding, and the official also mentioned the "revolutionary art", which is fully reflected in the statues on the map, Poseidon, Prometheus, etc., and players can even climb these amazing works of art. After art, there was also "western philosophy (Western philosophy)". The representative figure in the past few decades was naturally Socrates, and this great philosopher also appeared in the display as a sturdy man with a breast. In addition to him, there were also great men like Pericle in this era. However, Pericle should appear as a villain as the leader of Athens, but he died in 429, so the protagonist should only have two years to play with him.
