Ubisoft shared plenty of new details on the next Assassin's Creed Odyssey, due to go live this month.

　　The main additions are a new Mythical Creature (the Cyclops), increased level cap (from 50 to 70), the ability to customize how your character looks separately from the actual gear you're wearing and to customize gamepad buttons for better accessibility.

　　Assassin's Creed Odyssey is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The first Season Pass expansion, Legacy of the First Blade, should be available in December.

EPIC EVENTS

　　Note that these challenges are for players who have progressed to level 30 or above.

NEW ITEMS

　　All of these items will be simultaneously available in the Store and at the Oikos of the Olympians. Keep an eye out for them near the end of November!

　　Reminder: The underworld-themed items we released a couple of days ago are already unlockable at the Oikos of the Olympians.

MYTHICAL CREATURE

　　Defeating the Cyclops will be a high-level challenge, and should you manage to succeed you will be rewarded with a Legendary Bow. There will be no time limit, so prepare properly and take it down at your own pace!

NEW GAME FEATURES

　　CUSTOMIZATION:

　　We are excited to share that in an upcoming title update, we will add a visual customization system that allows you to add a visual layer on top of your gear. This will will allow you to combine the stats of one item and the appearance of another into the same slot. So you won't have to decide between having good stats and looking good in-game!

　　LEVEL CAP:

　　Later this month we will increase the level cap by no less than 20 levels. This will be available for all players. For our players who have reached level 50, the XP earned before the level cap update will be rewarded with new ability points.

　　AUTO-CRAFTING ARROW:

　　As we mentioned earlier on our official Twitter account, we added a new feature to the game that allows players to auto-craft regular arrows when enough resources are available.

　　GAMEPAD CUSTOMIZATION:

　　Accessibility for our players has always been an important topic for Assassin's Creed. This is why gamepad customization is now available to all players on all platforms. You can learn more about accessibility in Assassin's Creed in our latest interview with Jonathan Bedard here!

　　GEAR UPGRADES:

　　We worked on a new balance in order to decrease costs to upgrade gear in-game.

　　XP BOOSTERS:

　　We realize that players want more control over the XP boosters, so with update version 1.0.7 we're introducing an option to pause and resume any temporary or permanent booster that you own.
