'Assassin's Creed Odyssey' College Tour Being Hosted By Ubisoft For Launch

We're just a few days away from the arrival of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, a game that looks to be the biggest in the long-running series to date. And Ubisoft is going all out to bring its hype to a fever pitch, including holding some events for college fans.

The publisher is hosting launch events at over 45 colleges. These will be held next week, on October 5, with Odyssey-themed prizes and refreshments, as well as the opportunity to play the game before its release.

It should be a good time -- if you're not already playing the game when the special editions release on October 2. But we'd go anyway, because you never know. There might be a toga party…?

Assassin's Creed Odyssey releases on October 5 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. As noted above, if you order one of the special editions, you can get it earlier, starting on the 2nd.
