# Assassins Creed Odyssey Assassin's Creed Odyssey is Ubisoft's 2018 open-world RPG set in 431 BCE during the Peloponnesian War. Beyond its scale, the game picked up a meme following on Twitter and Reddit for its vacation-style photo mode shots and its notoriously aggressive chickens. ## Overview Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a 2018 action RPG from Ubisoft Quebec, the eleventh main entry and twentieth overall installment in the Assassin's Creed series[3]. Set in 431 BCE during the Peloponnesian War, the game hands players an open-world Ancient Greece where they pick a side in the Athens-Sparta conflict, choose between two protagonists (Alexios or Kassandra), and can pursue romances regardless of the character they picked[1]. The game shipped for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in Japan[3]. PCGamesN called it "the best Assassin's Creed game yet," pointing to Ubisoft's rendering of Greek reefs, temples, and sprawling cities as standout work[1]. Aggregate Metacritic scores hit 83 on PS4, 87 on Xbox One, and 90 on PC[2]. Alongside the reviews, two smaller quirks gave the game a meme afterlife: its screenshot-friendly photo mode[6] and its unusually violent chickens[5]. ## How It Spread The game built a strong online following in the weeks after launch. On Reddit, /r/assassinscreed hosted several megathreads that pulled hundreds of upvotes each[4]. The official Facebook page passed 75,000 likes[7]. IGN's video review scored the game 9.2 and pulled over 1.3 million YouTube views, while Gamespot handed out an 8/10 "great" rating[2]. Two Twitter Moment compilations turned the game into a running joke among fans. One collected photo mode captures where players staged Ancient Greece as a Mediterranean vacation, complete with beach shots and statue selfies[6]. The other rounded up posts about the game's chickens, which will relentlessly maul players who accidentally hit one[5]. Between the vacation screenshots and the killer poultry clips, those two tropes stuck as the game's shorthand meme identity[3]. ## How to Use The photo mode joke typically pairs a scenic in-game screenshot with a caption written like a vacation postcard, playing up beaches, sunsets, or ruins as if they were a holiday snap[6]. The chicken meme usually attaches a clip or screenshot of a player being killed by poultry with a caption about the surprising lethality of Greek livestock[5]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Assassins Creed Odyssey?
