Assassin S Creed Odyssey Dev Pushed For Greek Voice Actors

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey developer Ubisoft has revealed that it pushed for as many Greek actors as possible for the upcoming stab-happy sequel.

In case you missed it, Odyssey takes place in Ancient Greece and will feature two playable characters: Alexios and Kassandra, voiced by Greek actors Michael Antonakos and Melissanthi Mahut, respectively.

Speaking with VG247, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey audio head honcho Lydia Andrew said the game’s setting offered ‘a nice opportunity for us to have a deep dive into the culture of Greece and obviously Ancient Greece.’

‘You can have a great actor who’s great at accents, and that’s fantastic, but you can also find great Greek actors and work with them too.’

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is due out on October 5 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, and fully embraces the RPG mechanics introduced in last year’s Origins. So, expect stuff like levelled enemies and bosses to return, plus new wrinkles such as romancing and multiple dialogue options.

Ubisoft also revealed earlier this week that the game is a ‘service-type product.’
