Assassin's Creed Odyssey PC System Requirements Revealed Alongside Previews Galore
We are less than a month away from when the latest installment of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed (AC) series comes out. It may have seemed only months ago that Assassin's Creed Origins came out, probably because that is indeed the case, but this has not stopped the hype machine from building up fervor as players get to explore the anticipated ancient Greece era done Ubisoft-style. As with AC Origins, Ubisoft says the PC version of AC Odyssey is not a straight port of the console versions and received a dedicated team at Ubisoft Kiev who worked hand-in-hand with Ubisoft Québec.
This is all great news to us, although memories of AC: Unity still linger around to ensure caution before pre-ordering this. As it stands, Ubisoft says the PC version of AC Odyssey will include exclusive features not found in the console versions, including uncapped framerate toggles and an in-game benchmarking tool. Read past the break for PC system requirements as well as more information based on previews from other media outlets.The PC requirements are below:
Minimum Requirements
With targeted marketing at play, Ubisoft also worked with specific game media outlets to release previews for the game earlier today based on lengthy demo sessions held last week. Polygon, for example, released their preview along with 27 minutes of gameplay footage seen below. Eurogamer, on the other hand, went more spoilery and shared details about the single player campaign (so don't read all of it if you want to remain spoiler-free). As it stands, the gameplay and narrative both seem to be familiar if you have played AC Origins and yet Ubisoft Québec have added in new gameplay elements to help keep things fresh and also faithful to the time period. Assassin's Creed Odyssey comes out on PC (and consoles) October 5, 2018 and we plan to do a detailed PC port test for the game near launch to help make your decision on game purchase.
