Ubisoft worked with Gordon Doherty, a historical fiction writer who wrote the Legionary and Strategos series, to create the realization that is the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Novel. Spending four days in a row reading the script and reading more about the Peloponnesian War period, he used his wealth of knowledge to write a story based on the travels of Kassandra but more streamlined to have a spine readers can stick to. He was allowed an artistic license for more parts that were a blank canvas as well as working with coders, artists, and writers to fully embrace the world Ubisoft has created.  You can check out the entire Q&A here. Video game novels bring extra attention to each world and give gamers more ways to experience it.
