Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Update 1.0.6 is now out and it brought the first free Story DLC – The Lost Tales of Greece. There’s more coming later this month, Ubisoft, announced today. A new level cap will be introduced, brand new customization option for your character, gamepad custom controls, XP boosters tweaks, Mythical Creatures and more.
Let’s take a look at each one of these!
What’s to Come Later in November
Update 1.07 is expected to also be quite big and stuffed with interesting new things, all of them free for all owners of any of the game’s editions.
The Lost Tales of Greece #2
The second Lost Tale of Greece, Divine Intervention, will have you meet a mysterious woman who will test your qualities through several divine trials!The Lost Tales of Greece questlines will appear automatically in the world, marked as yellow side quests, once you have reached Episode 5 in the game. There will be no time limit to tackle these questlines, so feel free to play them at any time.
Completing each Lost Tale of Greece will allow you to unlock new rewards. And as for the other stories of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, be sure to save before you play them, as you may want to check out the different outcomes depending on your choices!
Epic Events
That’s one of the weak spots for Ubisoft. Three weeks after the first Epic Mercenary was expected to appear, but didn’t, the developers are still experiencing issues and cannot bring this system to function at 100%. The Mercenaries were half of these weekly events. Every other week an Epic Ship appears and these seem to be working as intended now.
New Epic Events will appear regularly in the game: either as an Epic Mercenary or an Epic Ship that you will be tasked to hunt down. Defeating those challenging adversaries will reward you not only with Orichalcum to use at the Oikos of the Olympians merchant, but also with a new ship design or a new piece of equipment!
Two New Store Packs
The In-Game Story will receive another update this month with the Odysseus Pack (containing new gear set and a mount) and the Odysseus Naval Pack (bringing a new ship design, new crew theme and a figurehead). These two packs are expected around the end of November.
The store already received one update a few days ago with the introduction of the very cool looking (but also quite expensive!) Underworld Pack.
Remember, the Oikos of the Olympians sells a Loot Box that may (!) contain any of these items.
New Mythical Creatures
If you thought that the ancient giant and scary mythical creatures’s numbers only extends as far as the Sphinx, Cyclops, Medusa and Minotaur, you are WRONG!
Starting November 13th Steropes the Cyclops will be ready and waiting for you in his cave. A new quest named The Lightning Bringer will appear in your quest log and will take you to the one-eyed mythical creature.
Defeating the Cyclops is a high-level challenge, and should you manage to succeed you will be rewarded with a Legendary Bow. There is no time limit, so prepare properly and take it down at your own pace!
Gamepad Customizations!
With the next update to the game, Ubisoft is adding customizable controls for gamepad on all platforms.
New Level Cap
I saved the best for the last! The current max level 50 will be extended with another 20 levels to 70. Ubisoft realized that many players reached 50 without having explored even half the game’s content and were losing interest, because of the lack of feeling of progression in their character, so another 20 levels are being added.
The best part is that if you are like me and have been playing a ton past level 50, completing various side missions, dailies and so on, you will be compensated retroactively with Ability Points too.
Character Customizations

At first it was mentioned here and there that we should not expect to have the level of customization in Odyssey like we had in Origins. That is actually true. The gear system in Odyssey is a bit more complex. Here you equip single pieces each with its appearance, slot and stats. Ubisoft is working to introduce a customization option for each piece of gear slot of your character. You will be able to swap the visual appearance of any item you wear with any other one and have the look you desire, while still keeping the specific build you prefer to play with.
This will will allow you to combine the stats of one item and the appearance of another into the same slot. So you won’t have to decide between having good stats and looking good in-game!
What is already in the game
Update 1.0.6 introduced the first Free Story DLC – The Lost Takes of Greece. It also brought a ton of quality of life improvements, fixed many game bugs and also allowed players to craft arrows “on the fly” (auto-crafting).
The Mercenary System also saw a nice improvement with many of the tears now providing significantly better boosts and perks compared to before. If you have experienced this unconfirmed bug/issue where regardless of how high bounty you had, nobody ever chased you – you’d be glad to hear that this has been resolved (well, at least for me and those I asked, who also had it).
Detailed statistics have also arrived to the game, showing a lot of interesting and useful info on what kind of boosts, benefits and perks you get from your gear pieces.
