Today Ubisoft® announced that Assassin’s Creed® Odyssey, the latest installment in the award-winning Assassin’s Creed® franchise, will support Arabic subtitles and menus exclusively in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Assassin’s Creed® Odyssey will be released in the region on October 5, 2018, on the Xbox One family of devices, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC, and has been enhanced with additional features for Xbox One X and PS4™Pro systems.
In Assassin’s Creed® Odyssey, the action takes place in Ancient Greece, a world rich with myths and legend, in fifth century BC during the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens. Playing as Alexios or Kassandra, a mercenary of Spartan blood sentenced to death by their family, players will embark on an epic journey from a young outcast to a legendary hero and uncover the truth about their mysterious lineage.
Assassin’s Creed® Odyssey is an ambitious action role-playing game that places choice at the center of the experience. An all-new interactive dialogue system empowers players to forge their own path and impact the game’s world, characters and story to shape the future of Greece. Players will customize weapons and gear, master and equip new special abilities, and charge into massive battles between Sparta and Athens, pitting hundreds of soldiers against each other. The return of open-world naval combat allows players to seamlessly explore the open seas, customize their ship and recruit their own crew with unique perks. With the entire country of Greece to discover, from pristine beaches to vibrant cities, from the heights of snowy mountain peaks to the depths of the Aegean Sea, players will encounter Ancient Greece’s famous figures and myths as they live their own odyssey.
