About the Game
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is an open world game of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and was published on multiple platforms in 2018. The main events unfold in the setting of the ancient greek empire, while a frame narrative is set in a modern day alternative reality.[1] In the very beginning of the game the player gets the chance to choose a character: one of the two siblings Alexios and Kassandra.

Performing Gender
Looking at the term gender performance[2] following Judith Butler, one must assume that gender in its general and broad sense is nothing natural or biological. Rather is gender a fluid term that exists in the way it is performed. Therefore in the game Assassin's Creed Odyssey one can look at how the two characters are performing their gender identity and thereby how a player can be a part of that performance.
