For a short period, Café Bohemia in Shibuya, Tokyo, will be renamed – with the help of Ubisoft, it will be called Odyssey Cafe from September 28 to October 8, giving this year’s Assassin’s Creed a cafe.

Moga Mogami, a Japanese idol, has dressed as Kassandra, and she played a mission on the floor, watching the butt of a soldier in the process as well. Four dishes will be sold for between 1000 and 1800 yen, but there will also be four alcoholic and four alcohol-free cocktails between 800-1300 yen, too. Those who dine here will also get one of four coasters, and they can also try Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, plus get some merch, too.

Scott Phillips, a game director at Ubisoft Quebec, told GamesIndustry in an interview how Odyssey will be the first Assassin’s Creed game in the series where it’ll be about more than finding our next target: „The ability to have human interactions with people and for people to be able to lie, believe you or not believe you… by not having that, we’d be blocking off a huge part of the human experience. We have relationships with everyone around us… we want the game to be about more than just who your next target is. It’s about what is your relationship with the people in the world, and by bringing more humanity into the game, it makes it a much more interesting experience.”

„We wanted your choices to matter with people, and that expands to relationships that are also based in friendship. It depends on the person you’re talking to and how they’re going to react to certain things. Everybody’s different, and when you’re telling stories – and trying to tell more honest and human stories – you have to take other people into account when writing them, so it just made sense for us to be able to interact with a romantic relationship that makes sense for the individual that you’re romancing. The choices you’re making are ultimately grey choices. Just because I lie to someone, doesn’t mean it’s going to be a negative outcome. Just because I’m friendly, doesn’t mean it’s going to be positive. And that’s extended to romance,” Mel MacCoubrey, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey‘s narrative director, added.

Future Assassin’s Creed titles might allow players to pick their gender: „I think it would be a mistake to limit our players [to be only a male or a female], limit our fanbase from as many people as possible. I don’t know why we would go back. We should continue pushing in this direction, bring in more players, more fans to enjoy this experience and make it their own experience,” Phillips added.

Ubisoft is getting rid of Vivendi – as their March announcement, the media giant wants to sell their remaining shares in the French company, and by March 5, Vivendi will not have any shares in Ubisoft. (They still have 6.7%, but 0.9% will be sold on Monday – their remaining shares are worth half a billion (!!!) euros.) So Vivendi won’t buy shares in Ubisoft for five years.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is out on October 5 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
