Ubisoft Devs on The Myths Behind Gods & Monsters

Itโ€™s All About The Journey

This week Ubisoft revealed some new information about Gods & Monsters, including the myths behind the game. Think of it like a cool and colorful retelling of one of Homerโ€™s epic poems, complete with a customizable protagonist! Sounds like all that time spent wading around in Greek myth during the development of Assassinโ€™s Creed Odyssey really had an impact on the devs.

Gods & Monsters myths behind game

Gods & Monsters will be using the same expert historian as Odyssey, given that theyโ€™re so well-versed in Greek mythology already. This same focus led the team to Typhon as the main antagonist. Him and Zeus are famous for their rivalry, you see. Thereโ€™s also a weird focus in the interview on the double jump? Like, does that come up in myths very often? Maybe Iโ€™m not reading the right ones.

From the sounds of things, it seems like Gods & Monsters will be a fresh take on the open world formula from the company thatโ€™s famous for their open world games. Whether this will mean a lot of familiar elements, or just practiced expertise, we wonโ€™t know until later. Gods & Monsters is coming to the PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and the Stadia on February 25th, 2020.
