Some mistakes stick forever, and the Star Wars: Battlefront II mistake is still sticking with EA as their rival, Ubisoft, called them out in their recently released Assassin's Creed: Odyssey for failed cover-up of pay-to-win loot boxes.

Even though its official launch isn't until tomorrow, 05 October 2018, an Easter egg from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey that's been making the rounds suggests that Ubisoft are either reminiscing or foreshadowing the return of Splinter Cell.

Ubisoft have revealed that the upcoming instalment in the Assassin's Creed franchise was pretty much finished one year ago, but the developer thought Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is better left to stew for a while than to be rushed out.

Gameplay videos are popping up all over YouTube with various ways to climb a statue of Zeus in order to synchronize Alexios or Kassandra's progress through history in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Some players took the scenic route.

With two weeks left until Assassin's Creed: Odyssey hits the shelves, Ubisoft rolled out the launch trailer, featuring what seems to be the Oracle of Delphi telling Alexios that his life will be an unremarkable one. Challenge accepted.

With excitement over Assassin's Creed: Odyssey seemingly growing with every showing, Ubisoft have launched a trailer where they laid out plans for the game's post launch DLC, some of which is free while the rest...well, it's Ubisoft innit?
