Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s First Blade DLC is carving out a hopeful future for the game in 2019

Assassin's Creed Odyssey was the game that brought Ubisoft's long-running terrain scrambler back to its best, and Legacy of the First Blade has an equally large challenge to overcome on a far smaller budget. Ubisoft long ago confirmed that there will be no new Assassin's Creed game in 2019. The series hasn't had a properly fallow year since its debut in 2007. As such, the next 12 months will be the first in which DLC alone will have to quell the appetite of the considerable Assassin's Creed fanbase. Odyssey was good enough to make our 2019 games of the year list, but even its ocean of quests dry up eventually. It’s fortunate, then, that Legacy of the First Blade is in fact a three-part premium expansion. Its opening chapter, Hunted, arrived back in December, and now the debut of Episode 2: Shadow Heritage is upon us. And yes, that does make the full title of the DLC we're looking at here 'Assassin's Creed Odyssey: Legacy of the First Blade - Episode 2: Shadow Heritage'. Even the acronym ACOLotFBE2SH is as absurd as it is bewildering - though absurdity may be Ubisoft’s strongest suit - so I'll stick with 'Shadow Heritage' for now.
