Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Teased, Next Installment in the Long-Running Series
Assassin's Creed has been one of the staples in gaming ever since the original's debut way back in 2007. Since then, there's been a steady stream of new main entry Assassin's Creed games every year, except in the year leading up to 2018's Origins: the first time the series took a hiatus for some much needed time to reinvent itself. Whether or not it succeeded, though, is another matter entirely.
That said, a new entry in the series was always to be expected, and a 5-second teaser has already been released, leading up to an almost certain full E3 reveal. The games' title, Odyssey, alongside the iconography of a Spartan helmet, likely places the game in the 6th to 4th century BCE, in Greece. A parallelism has been made - and really must be - between the games' title and Homer's titular "The Odyssey", an epic recounting the events following king Odysseus' return to Ithaca following the fall of Troy.
dyssey has been described by insiders as straying even further from the series' tried, true, and somewhat tiring (as of now) formula, and that the game should be coming out during Ubisoft's 2019 fiscal year - which ends on March 31st, 2019. this likely means that should no delays occur, the game will see the light of Greece's sun somewhat around the usual Fall release for the series.

Wait...
It took me almost 6 months to play through AC:Rogue. I'd play for an hour or two, come back a week or two later and play an hour or two. The story wasn't compelling enough to keep me wanting more and the gameplay wasn't anything different over the last couple of releases. I think the series has really lost that uniqueness that it once had simply due to the fact that so many different games have been churned out for the series.
I'm kind of surprised they're still milking this series and that it still sells well enough to warrant more.
Therefore, Oddyssey teaser video is just meant to obfuscate and deceive. The one certainty is it takes place after roughly 40 BC, since it cannot predate the beginning of the order.
Unity was the last one i played and had no issue's running it, how ever i liked Black Flag more.
