Assassin’s Creed Challenge heads to Sydney for Odyssey launch

The Assassin’s Creed Challenge will head to Sydney for the launch of Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, Ubisoft today confirmed.

“Designed to replicate the Ancient Greek setting of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, participants will have the opportunity to partake in six different challenges and achieve similar stunts that they will perform in game,” Ubisoft detailed.

“Each daring obstacle will have fans running, climbing, swinging and balancing their way through the ruins and statues of Ancient Greece’s myths and legends.”

Available over 5 and 6 October, the obstacle course will be set up in Sydney’s Metcalfe Park. Ubisoft is accepting registrations to run the course here. The event will also feature cosplay and food trucks.

As you can see in the image above, the obstacle course’s final challenge is a seven metre platform called “the Leap of Faith” — fitting for Assassin’s Creed, eh?

“An Assassin’s Creed obstacle course has been one of the most sought after requests by not only the Assassin’s Creed Community, but all Australian gamers,” said Edward Fong, Managing Director at Ubisoft Australia.

“We are extremely excited to be bringing the concept to life to celebrate the launch of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on October 5.”

As Edward said, expect Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey from 5 October on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
