Will Kassandra from AC Odyssey Return? Developers Added an Easter Egg in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Ubisoft still has plans for the heroine.
The developers of Assassin’s Creed Shadows not only presented a collaboration with Attack on Titan, but also reminded players of the heroine from one of the previous installments of the franchise.
Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has reappeared — in the game, she is represented as an Easter egg statue.
Assistant Game Director of Assassin's Creed Shadows, Simon Lemay-Comtois, explained in a conversation with the author of the YouTube channel JorRaptor:
We really wanted to see Kassandra in the game. And, yes, [according to the lore] at this stage she is immortal and could very well have appeared in Japan, so we decided to connect these dots. Without revealing details, I will say: we came up with a story about when she went to Japan. What did she do there? Obviously, she did much more than just leave things in a cave.
The developer also hinted that Kassandra arrived alone. Just like in AC Odyssey, she has "essentially a whole ship" and a crew.
Details have not yet been revealed, but the developers have a plan:
We have an explanation for why there is a statue of Kassandra in the cave, which Kassandra herself bought. We may reveal this later. We thought everything through — we didn’t just add Kassandra there for no reason. And this is not the last content related to the Isu [Precursors] that will appear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
