This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey for PlayStation 4
Assassin's Creed Odyssey for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One takes you to ancient Greece during the Peloponnesian War. You choose Kassandra or Alexios and begin as an exiled mercenary with a family history that stretches through Sparta, Athens and the Aegean Sea. Conversations regularly offer several answers, while choices can affect quests, relationships and the outcome of storylines. The world consists of cities, islands, mountains, forts and ruins that you can explore freely.
Combat combines light and heavy attacks, dodging, parrying and abilities from the warrior, hunter and assassin trees. New weapons and pieces of equipment have levels and properties, allowing you to create a build around direct combat, archery or unseen attacks. The Spear of Leonidas replaces the Hidden Blade. Mercenaries hunt you when your bounty rises, while you track members of the Cult of Kosmos through clues.
With the Adrestia you sail between islands, ram and shoot enemy ships and recruit officers for the crew. The full main journey can be played without active online features. Story expansions, bonus missions and expired codes are not promised as included; the standard disc remains the basis. The Omega Edition for Xbox One uses the same main game and does not change the core campaign. Later updates or digital extras can differ per installation and account.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey contains a complete offline campaign for one player on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Omega Edition uses the same main game. Download codes, online services and separate expansions are not promised as present or usable.
Manual
Assassin's Creed Odyssey for PlayStation 4 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Ubisoft Québec led development of Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Ubisoft released the game on 5 October 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows. The story takes place several centuries before Assassin's Creed Origins and before the founding of the Assassin Brotherhood. The protagonist is therefore a misthios, a Greek mercenary, and the conflict concerns their own family, the war between Athens and Sparta and the Cult of Kosmos.
Odyssey built on the role-playing direction introduced by Origins. The team expanded equipment, skill trees and levels and made dialogue choices a fixed part of quests. Sailing also returned as a major system. The Adrestia is not merely transport between islands, but a ship that you strengthen and crew. Choosing Kassandra or Alexios changes the player character, while the main lines of the journey remain the same.
After release, the game received free quests, a New Game Plus and paid story expansions. That later content is not automatically included with every used disc or code. This product page therefore describes the main game as it was sold on PS4 and Xbox One. The Omega Edition is a retail version built around the same game; a title bearing that edition does not guarantee that separate maps, art books or previously used download codes are still present or usable.
Similar games for PlayStation 4
Assassin's Creed Origins explores ancient Egypt with Bayek and lays the foundation for the Hidden Ones. Odyssey takes place earlier, offers a choice between two protagonists and uses dialogue choices more often. Both use levels, loot and extensive regions, but Odyssey gives a more important role to sea travel and the mercenary ranking.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate concentrates on one dense London and lets you switch between Jacob and Evie. Odyssey spreads the journey across mainland and islands and leans more heavily on role-playing statistics. Syndicate uses carriages, a rope launcher and a gang; Odyssey uses a warship, abilities and choices in conversations.
Assassin's Creed Unity follows Arno during the French Revolution and builds its missions around crowded streets, buildings and targeted assassinations. Odyssey has a much larger landscape, open battles and sea voyages. Both let you adjust equipment, but Unity more often demands a planned route through one city and Odyssey development across many levels.
Black Flag makes Edward Kenway's ship and the Caribbean the heart of the journey. Odyssey also has naval battles and islands, but connects them to an extensive level system, abilities and dialogue choices. Black Flag stays closer to classic Hidden Blades and sailors' tools; Odyssey uses the Spear of Leonidas and stronger role-playing elements.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor combines climbing, stealth and sword fighting with the Nemesis system, in which enemy captains develop. With its roaming mercenaries, Odyssey creates similar pressure from recognizable hunters, but adds ships, dialogue choices and historical regions. Mordor is more compact and focuses more strongly on the hierarchy of orcs.
