Believe it or not, this month marks the one year anniversary of the release of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Ubisoft’s most recent entry in its time-hopping Assassin’s Creed series. To celebrate the occasion, the publisher has released a new update which, alongside the usual run of bug fixes, is bringing back rare targets and new items for all players.

First on the agenda is a stunning new mount, Melaina, who will be able to transport Kassandra or Alexios to their latest targets, taking to the skies with her purple-tinted wings, and helping the stabby duo arrive on the scene with more than a little pizazz. Melaina will be made available to all players free of charge.

Every day in October will also see the return of a previous Epic Encounter; exclusive targets who were only available during limited time windows. Each day in October will bring with it a returning mark, giving players a chance to fill in those gaps on your hit-list. As an added incentive, bonus Orichalcum will be earned for each target eliminated, so it looks like there’s a busy month ahead. You can check out the full schedule for these targets right here.
