E3 2018 is in full force meaning that gamers everywhere are scrambling to find any more secrets ahead of their big reveals. With Ubisoft having already confirmed Assassin’s Creed Odyssey earlier last month after a massive merchandise leak, many were interested in seeing how the “This is Sparta” kick seen in the teaser would correlate with the rest of the game. Now a new leak has emerged to give us an inside look at what we can expect with the newest title. In addition to the previous summary revealed, we also have a ton of new screenshots to enjoy!

According to the game’s summary, “Take control of your destiny and write your own epic odyssey as you journey to become a legendary Spartan hero. Live incredible adventures in a world where every choice matters. Rejected by your family, you must embark on an adventure from outcast mercenary to legendary Spartan hero to uncover the truth about your past.”
The screenshots look … absolutely stunning and seem to be blending the best of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag and Origins, especially with the upgraded ship components and more diversified mechanics. One thing that made Origins “the perfect comeback” title for a staling series is that they really did overhaul the basic mechanics of the game, giving players more freedom than ever before to develop their own play style when taking to the open world.
The images match up with the leak from back in May when one fan shared an image of a keychain and a t-shirt for the new game. It’s hard to dispute official merch as fake, which then prompted the developers to reveal their latest project ahead of schedule. Still, after Bayek’s journey in Ancient Egypt with Assassin’s Creed Origins, it’s safe to say that the creative team has their mojo back after a lull in fresh content.
There are even more screenshots that were leaked, which you can find over at Gematsu.
E3 is going on now and Ubisoft’s conference is set to go live at 1 PM PT on June 11. We’re also expecting a new Splinter Cell announcement, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, Skull and Bones, and a few other surprises. We’re covering the event live this year so stay tuned as we bring you the latest and greatest of what E3 has to offer!
