Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s New Exploration Mode Removes Map Markers
IGN recently posted a video preview of Odyssey, and one of the things we learnt from it is that players can toggle between two “modes”, so to speak, that will determine what kind of an exploration experience they will have in the game. There is, of course, the Guided Mode, which is described by the game itself as a more “traditional” experience, where map markers will be displayed at all times and quest objectives will be given to you automatically.
More interestingly, though, there’s also the Exploration Mode, which according to the game itself, is “the way Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is meant to be experienced.” This mode removes map markers, and during quests, doesn’t give you quest objectives. Instead, you have to accrue hints of where in the game’s world to go based on dialog from NPCs and other sources, and when you’re close to where you should be, you can then use your eagle to pinpoint where exactly it is that you need to be headed.
It’s an interesting take on exploration, more for Assassin’s Creed in particular than just any open world game- Assassin’s Creed games always try to recreate excellent recreations of their settings, and they would benefit a great deal from having more immersive game worlds that players can actually feel like they’re a part of. Additionally, given just how much there is to explore in the game, and how varied and beautiful Ancient Greece looks already, Exploration Mode does seem like the way to go.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey launches on October 5 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Craig Been ages since I've gotten into any Assassin's Creed game, and judging by this. That won't be changing anytime soon. They need to take a break from copy and pasting games.
EXACTLY. I always think to myself that if the AC team sat back and actually took the time to make a game they'd make a fantastic Assassin's Creed. Instead, they choose to copy and paste and change the setting every year. It's pretty obnoxious.

I'm not a fan of this move at all, but will have to wait and try the game to see if I change my mind.

I don't like this feature at all, like really really think this is a bad move for the franchise. I didn't like the removal of the mini map in Origins, and found the compass to be annoying. Removing all markers and whatnot I think is an even bigger pain.

I like that it's going to add more of a challenge and a different play style to Assassins creed.
