More details surounding the project suggest that:
- Naval Gameplay will be returning, with ship customisation elements making a comeback, giving players the freedom to modify and adapt their seafairing experience.
- The rumour proposes that players will have the option to play as a male or female character, with customisation options resembling Assassin's Creed Unity.
- Characters will have individual skill trees, and players will have the chance to battle Greek Mythological creatures like Cerberus.
- Regarding the story, the post says that the Templars are using the Apple from the Curse of the Pharoahs DLC. (This is strange, as the Templars had not yet been established, and Origins featured The Order of Ancients. Proto-Templars)
- The world of Assassin's Creed Odyssey is slightly smaller than that of Assassin's Creed Origins. (Which is no surprise considering the sheer scale of Origins).
- Diaglogue options were considered for the game, but were ultimately cut.
- Regarding the timeline, the anonymous user says that the game is set to take place after Assassin's Creed Origins, but does not mention Bayek or Aya at all.
