The newest Assassin's Creed is on the way, and there are going to be a few new features alongside the boatload of same old that we have come to expect from the series. In this follow up to the property that no one is tired of in any way (this is the TWENTIETH game), you'll become a legendary Spartan hero, and you'll be able to choose the gender of the main character, with your journey taking you from your humble beginnings to eventually becoming a total badass, either as Alexios or Kassandra. This time there will be a much greater emphasis on role-playing elements than the previous games in the series, with dialogue options, branching quest lines and tons of choice. You will also have the ability to develop romantic relationships with non-playable characters of both genders, regardless of which character you choose. The game even features a notoriety system where mercenaries will chase after you if you commit crimes like killing or stealing from NPCs.
Along the way, you'll be able to customize your gear, upgrade your abilities, and trick out your ship, which you'll be taking out on the Aegean Sea, exploring cities and towns during Greece's golden age period. Your decisions will shape your world, and the game is boasting over 30 hours of dialogue, in addition to multiple game endings, but it won't all just be talking and interacting nicely with the denizens of the world; the game takes place right in the middle of the Peloponnesian War. You'll get involved with some epic battles between Sparta and Athens, fighting alongside and against hundreds of warriors at a time.
Check out the new trailer below, it really is a pretty looking game.
