Assassin’s Creed Odyssey The Fate Of Atlantis Episode 1 ‘Fields Of Elysium’ is now live across all platforms, for players on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. While those of us in Southeast Asia received it later than the rest of the world, I can confirm that it’s now available to download.

However, keep in mind that PS4 players will have to download the update manually by heading into the PlayStation Store.

In Fields of Elysium, players will travel to a paradise populated by fallen warriors and those who were good during their lifetimes, encountering the mighty Isu. The first episode of The Fate of Atlantis will also introduce the following:

• New factions
• New legendary weapons and gear

The biggest new additions are the all-new Ability enhancements, which modify existing abilities to change their function, giving players the opportunity to customize their playstyles even further. These include the following:

• Ares Bull Charge is part of the Warrior branch of the skill tree and will summon a projectile that takes the form of a bull charging forward. The projectile knocks down any enemy it hits and pierces through them.
• Ares Madness, also part of the Warrior branch of the skill tree, will allow players to have a new fighting set that overpowers their enemies for a short period of time.
• Might of Artemis is part of the Hunter branch of the skill tree. Enemies, when hit by the stun, automatically take critical damage from any subsequent melee attack for the duration of the stun.
• Kronos Time Warp is part of the Assassin branch of the skill tree. This ability will grant each headshot additional slow-down time and higher damage, which is perfect for fighting enemies.

Players will have two options on how to start playing The Fate of Atlantis:

• After completing the main game, players will have to complete the questline Between Two Worlds, the mythological main game story arc, and Heir of Memories, the Lost Tales of Greece questline that is available after completing the former questline. Finally, they must have reached character level 28 or above.
• For those who haven’t completed all of the above: There will be a shortcut, where players will enter Greece level 52 with preset Abilities and resources enabling them to start their adventure into the afterlife with the Lost Tales of Greece questline Heir of Memories. They will also have the opportunity to choose their hero. However, unlike the first option, the players’ progression using the shortcut will not carry over to the main game save, and they will not be able to obtain achievements.

The second and third episode, Torment of Hades, and Judgment of Atlantis, respectively, will be released sometime in mid-2019. Check out the trailer below for a glimpse of what awaits players in the first episode of the second story DLC to hit Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
