Overview
- Asobo’s developer blog Thursday said the release is “almost here” as the team finishes testing, balancing, final recordings, and the last notes of the score.
- The game remains slated for 2026 with no firm date, and any talk of launching before Grand Theft Auto VI is press speculation rather than an announced plan.
- Set 15 years before the first two entries, the prequel follows Sophia on Minotaur’s Island in the Mediterranean.
- A new Echoes system shifts play between 14th‑century Greece and ancient Minoan times, and Sophia now uses full melee combat with swords, daggers, and parries.
- The story expands Sophia’s past—from a convent escape to a pirate upbringing—and links the Macula plague to the island, with more details promised in upcoming dev blogs including an interview with actor Anna Demetriou.
