Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey Gets The Alexa Treatment

As Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey approaches less than a month away, Ubisoft has revealed that there will be getting a skill for Amazon’s Alexa Echo.

Named after one of the two protagonists Alexios, you will be able to used the themed skill to help with everyday activities just like with Alexa. With over 1,500 unique prompts when you speak to Alexios, you will hear phrases and responses only a true Greek soldier would say. Such as “Awake! Apollo’s steeds appear on the horizon.” for an set alarm or “Moving at the pace of a Trojan snail.” when asking about the traffic.

For when the game comes out in early October, you will be able to ask Alexios about certain locations set in Ancient Greece and learn historical facts about the specific locations. On top of that, there is over 300 points of interest the skill can tell you information about as you explore the game’s world.

A Limited Edition Amazon Echo Plus was revealed with this announcement complimenting the game’s Spartan influence. Alexios will be compatible with any Echo device and is available now for free.

Previously, Bethesda did a similar gag with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at this year’s E3.
