The gods and monsters of Ubisoft is a "light" game told by Homer

Ubisoft has started publishing more details about its next mythological adventure, Gods and Monsters.

Announced for the first time at E3 2019, the game is being developed by the team behind Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. At the time of its announcement, we did not receive much information about the game (although there was a trailer), but now the Creative Director, Jonathan Dumont, and the Senior Producer, Marc-Alexis Côté, are ready to speak in an interview. official website of Ubisoft.

Narrated by Homer to his grandchildren, the story of the game will follow a fully customizable hero called Fenyx, who is on the verge of saving the gods of Typhoon Olympus and its mythological monsters.

Tell stories

If you are not limited by history, you can start doing strange and wonderful things with your heroes and, according to Jonathan Dumont, Gods and Monsters will use the special abilities designed for Assassin's Creed Odyssey and "will put on steroids for Gods and Monsters."

"When you fight and you unleash your abilities, you will destroy the enemies you face. You can expect fast fights on the ground and in the air. For example, if you fight a Cyclops, you may need to double jump to reach his head and hit him in the eyes to blind him. You can then fight him on the ground. We also have aerial enemies like harpies. "

The game does not have only abilities, Dumont has promised that magical mythological items like the Boots of Hermes will appear in the game. The Boots of Hermes will allow players to make a double jump and explore new places. According to Dumont, "There are many items of this type, but we keep them for future surprises."

Senior producer Marc-Alexis Côté said his team was still following the same "rigorous historical approach" that it has adopted with Assassin's Creed games.

This means that experts in mythology have been invited to advise and to "ensure that we can repeat them in an interesting and profound way for our players".

Even with this kind of rigor, Ubisoft hopes that Gods and Monsters will be a "light game" with a humorous story. That's it and the shiny and colorful artistic style of the game (which releases serious vibrations of Fable) that the team hopes will help to stand out from other open-world adventure games. Even his.

Gods and Monsters will be released on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia on February 25, 2020.
