Players can choose to engage with or ignore Assassin’s Creed Odyssey‘s modern-day segments, Ubisoft Quebec told Stevivor.
While players will largely fill the choose of Spartans Alexios and Kassandra, they’ll also play as Abstergo employee turned Assassin, Layla Hassan in a continuation of her Assassin’s Creed: Origins storyline.
Narrative Director, Melissa MacCoubrey, told Stevivor the modern-day segments weren’t every players cup of tea, and as such, can be ignored if one chooses.
“We are very excited to continue the story of Layla, and I definitely feel like we would be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn’t,” MacCoubrey said. “And we are very aware — and I’m very aware — of the fact that the present day is important to people.
“What I can say is that the people who want to explore that option more will have the ability to do so, and the people who prefer to stay in Spartan and are like, ‘leave me alone, present day!’ can too. It’s definitely a conscious decision.”
