E3 2019: Top 5 Game Announcements that no One was Expecting

#3. Gods & Monsters:-

What seems to be the most unexpected announcement of this year's E3 was a game called Gods & Monster from Ubisoft Quebec-the team behind 2018's phenomenal Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

Set in a Greek fantasy island, Gods & Monsters puts into the shoes of a character called Phoenix (male or female depending on what you choose). The main story will revolve around Phoenix helping the Olympians, venturing into the Underworld and defeating Typhons and his minions.

The game is supposedly light in narrative and will have a huge emphasis on world exploration, puzzles, traversal set pieces( something akin to Breathe of the Wild) and explore long lost dungeons.

The game will also feature light role-playing mechanics and indulge in combat encounters with creatures such as Harpes, Cyclops, etc, all of which are a major part of Greek mythology.

According to the devs, the idea for Gods & Monsters occurred to the Quebec team during the development of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Dumont, who serves as the Creative Director for the game stated that "the team found such a rich array of stories to tell from ancient Greek mythology, but they couldn't include all of it in Odyssey."
